Meals I’ve made recently ✨toddler edition✨ part 1!

My toddlers can be (like most) hard to cook for and hard to encourage to try new things. I’m not the greatest cook, I wish I enjoyed it more😬 I’m proud to say I’m learning to make more complex meals but those aren’t always what my kids want to eat. Luckily, I do know a thing or two about nutrition and the importance of my children’s every days meals. With that being said, I just wanted to share some easy meals I put together for them recently that were pretty inexpensive, healthy, and fun! We are a dye free family and stay away from harsh additives! Everything is usually served with water, almond milk, or watered down juice occasionally.

Plate 1: parmesan pasta mix with grapes and a mini charcuterie board. My older son got animal crackers and yogurt covered strawberries as his safe food!

Plate 2: nuggets with black berries, mixed veggies, a roll, and chick pea chips.

Plate3: pink pasta with strawberries and cheese puffs. To make the pasta I added a bit of bear juice to the water that boiled the noodles. Once done I added a bit of beat juice to Alfredo sauce until I got the color I wanted! We love using veggies for color🥰

Plate 4: cheese quesadillas with mixed veggies, black beans, orange slices, and pumpkin seeds! My older son takes a multivitamin with dinner every night so that was added onto his plate.

Plate 5: French toast sticks with strawberries and eggs. This one was so fun, my sons love to help cook. They got to crack eggs, mix the ingredients, and drop the bread into the mix!
