What To Make For Dinner

I have struggled with what to make for dinner for years and have found a number of recipes that kids enjoy. Here are some recipes and thoughts on making dinner that might help families who are struggling with what to make for dinner. Tonight I am serving Pad Thai which is a favorite in my house and a good alternative to pasta. Tacos are another family favorite. Sometimes I make a meal and kids don’t eat anything. It’s okay–that is life cooking for kids. My advice: Don’t stress out. Realize you did a good job trying to feed your kids and children can be picky and completely unpredictable. Try focusing on non food related dinner fun to take the focus off the food and put some of the fun back into mealtime by checking out my post on Our Family FUN dinner.
