“I don’t like this dinner.”
Umm, you didn’t even take bite yet!
Sound familiar??
It’s totally the case in my house. Please don’t think that just because I’m a food blogger that my kids magically like everything I make. Quite the opposite, actually!
They both go in phases- sometimes pickier than others. But it is just something I will never understand. Because, well, #gimmeallthefood
So, I’ve hand-picked some reader favorites when it comes to family pleasing meals and put them in one Kid Friendly Meal Plan for you. Trying to plan meals for the FIX or WW that work for the whole family can be a challenge- I get it!
And right now, especially, when we are all just trying to make sense of new Back to School schedules and routines, the last thing you want to hear is that “dinner is gross”. Don’t worry- I’ve got you!
This post is filled with tons of kid friendly meal ideas and inspo! Make sure you save it for later too!
Have a great week!

I have THE pickiest 3 eaters. Well, my younger two (3-year-old twins), can usually be convinced to try, but not always continue. My oldest (7 years) is sooo picky. We even had her evaluated and saw a feeding therapist when she was much younger. I am very excited to try these recipes. I am optimistic they will work, and I am trying to do intermittent fasting and the 21 Day Fix, so I am pumped as well. Fingers crossed it works! I’ll post back. In the meantime, can I also get a copy of any ebooks you have for picky kid eaters and the 21 Day Fix?

We can work on a picky kid eBook!
