With kids and parents getting back into the excitement of returning to familiar friends and routines, I always find this time of year such a mixed bag of emotions!

Kid-Friendly Tips!
When it comes to food likes and dislikes, all kids are different. So if there’s a new ingredient or flavor that you are not sure to give them or not, give it a try anyways! It’s always fun for kids to taste and learn new flavors. Plus, you never know what your picky eater will fall in love with this time. Remember that you can easily tone down the flavors in any of these recipes. If they your kids are not fans of “spicy” or “curry” or more bold flavors in these recipes, you just have to skip those accents.
