Most kids aren’t counting calories, but when Mom and Dad are, it’s nice to be able to cook one meal instead of a first one to satisfy the kids and then another to fit into your ‘healthy plan’. So here we’ve given you some ‘kid tested and kid approved’ recipes that will accomplish both!! Cook just one meal that the kids will eat AND will fit into your plan.
By using ingredients kids recognize and love, and skinnying up some kid favorites like Sloppy Joes and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches you’ll get your kids eating healthy, lower fat, nutritious dishes. Whip these up in no time and the whole family will enjoy a no-guilt, scrumptious meal.
Included in the eBook are breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that kids love. What kids doesn’t love Rice Krispie treats, popcorn, pancakes, pizza, pasta, French toast and grapes!?! With a little creativity and by skinnying up the ingredients, these meals can be healthy and lower calorie. And none of the recipes take long to prepare. They use simple ingredients, are easy to make and are great additions to your standard go-to recipes.
Have the kids help out a bit in the kitchen – even if they are just garnishing a plate before serving, they feel they took a part in it and are braver about trying new things. Don’t call these dishes HEALTHY or DIET. Just serve ‘em up and watch them disappear!
