If you’re a parent, you eventually discover kids can be hard to feed…

Unless it’s processed food I’m sure you noticed. After working hard in the kitchen, they won’t touch it and scrunch up their nose in disdain.

I get it, you’re running around and now your kids hate what you made. We all know how picky they can be with their food.

So what’s a mom to do?

With these 3 kid-friendly recipes, you’ll waste less time with a dish they won’t enjoy. All these recipes use either ground beef, pork, or chicken as the main ingredient to make an easy dish.

And for these 3 dinner ideas, my hope is one of them will stick and delight the entire family… or part of the family, and another will delight in the other half!  

Need a side dish to go with the chicken nuggets and meatloaf? Try this CREAMY RED MASHED POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN Recipe:

Ingredients

• 5 pounds red potatoes, washed and quartered

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step Three
