Cooking for Kids…It’s Easy, Right?!
So I’m not a parent, but I’ve been around enough kids to know that cooking for them isn’t always a breeze! Children’s taste buds aren’t fully formed, so often they won’t enjoy eating the same flavors as adults. Balancing that with trying to feed them a healthy diet can be a challenge, especially if you haven’t got hours and hours to spend preparing food.
These Kids Chicken Veggie Nuggets are quick, easy, nutritious and fun. Learn this recipe for a great, easy go-to. It’ll be a savior in a time pinch, and is fantastic if your little ones have friends round for a play date.
Cooking for kids isn’t easy but having a few recipes like this up your sleeve will surely make things easier, and keep those little mouths happy!
Make Food Fun
Add extra smiles at the dinner table by using a mold to shape these nuggets into stars, cars, or whatever other shapes you please. Don’t get carried away though…it’s tempting to start doing this to all your food…!
