Meals Kids Love

Finally mastered a collection of recipes that my picky eaters actually look forward to! These are the meals that turn dinnertime into something special instead of a battle. Think extra cheesy chicken pasta that's secretly packed with vegetables, those crispy homemade fish sticks that beat any frozen version, and the sneaky veggie-loaded meatballs that my kids somehow devour. Best part? They're quick enough for busy weeknights and always leave empty plates. Plus, most can be prepped ahead or frozen for those really crazy days when cooking feels impossible.
