Tasty Mom Approved Kid Friendly Snack Recipes
I attribute my love most food because of that rule! I love exploring different ethnic food options, street food is my jam when traveling, and going to new restaurants and asking the waiter to give me his favorite dish is something I love to do.
What is kid friendly food these days? I eat the way I do today because my parents and family surrounded me with healthy and tasty food that THEY also ate too.

I don’t have kids and I understand that meal time can be hard for some families. There are so many variables when it comes to feeding your family like food allergies, picky eaters, or having to choose between healthy food or fast food.

I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to choose! Healthy food can be fast and there are healthy (and fun) meals out there that your kids will love to eat. Other than making food that tastes great, another way to make mealtime fun for your family is to get your kids involved in making dinner with you!
A little goes a long way! Let your little help you make pasta sauce for dinner or ask them to help assemble meal prep containers full of food for meal prep for the week. Involving them in preparation for mealtime is one way to spend quality time and another way to create a positive experience for them around food.
