Quick and Easy Recipes that will Have your Kids Round the Table at Dinner

Spread the love

One of the most difficult things about cooking for kids is trying to plan out options that they would love. Kids are very picky eaters at the end of the day, and if you have more than one picky eater, then this can make meal planning somewhat impossible. If you want to make sure that your kids are eating properly while also having meals that they love, then this is the guide for you.

Pizza Casserole

This recipe is child-approved, as it was created by kids. You can’t beat the combination of pepperoni and pasta, especially when you add some tomato sauce and cheese. This recipe will satisfy kids of any age, and you would be surprised at how many hidden vegetables you can pack into this meal. This could involve using fresh tomato and making a sauce, as well as adding nice chunks of pepper and onion.

Buttermilk Chicken


Kids absolutely love ordering chicken whenever they go to a restaurant, so why not give making your own a shot? The tenders are first soaked in buttermilk, and this helps to make them way juicier and much more moist. After this, you will dunk them in flour with various seasonings. The final step would be for you to fry them, as this will give you the crispiest skin. Your kids will love them, they are affordable to make and require little preparation. If you want to try something a little healthier, why not check out these air fryer frozen chicken tenders at Whole Lotta Yum?

Macaroni Cheese

You cannot beat baked macaroni cheese. Simply make a basic cheese sauce, add some cooked pasta and then top it off with some more grated cheese. You can add vegetables to this recipe as well, including peppers. If you want to make sure that you get the best result out of your macaroni cheese, then make sure that you put it under the grill to brown it off. This will help you to achieve the perfect crispy top.

Tater Tots with Cheddar

Tater tots are essentially fried potato rounds, and everyone loves them, especially kids. They make the best hearty meal for your whole family, and you can also serve them with cheddar on top. This will easily work with almost any recipe you want to do, not to mention that you can add some spices to the potatoes too.

Grilled Sandwiches

Sometimes your kids just want something that they can eat quickly so that they can get back to their playing. If you want to make sure that your kids have something quick, then grilled sandwiches are the way to go. Again, you can sneak some vegetables in there, or you can even try your hand at different meat combinations. This is a great way for you to use up any leftover meat, cheese or vegetables, not to mention that you can also prepare them for the whole family in advance. This will save you a lot of time and sometimes money, so it is always a good option to have at your disposal if you are tired from a long day at work or simply not in the mood to cook.
