What's the right nutritional balance for a growing child? How do
you persuade a picky eater to try something new? What's the best way to
teach children about the importance of a healthy and varied diet? What
about kids who will eat only bland foods that bore their parents to
tears? Do kids really need to try everything on their plates?
These
questions - and countless others like them - are common to most
parents and caregivers. Feeding children certainly presents its
challenges, but also many opportunities to instill in children healthy
eating habits that will serve them well throughout their lives.
In
this section, you'll find tips, anecdotes, and of course recipes.
Please join in the conversation and let us know what works for you, and
what questions you have about feeding children.

Red meat often gets a bad rap because people immediately think of fatty grilled burgers. But lean beef is a nutritional powerhouse for growing bodies, supplying loads of protein and iron in every bite—with less saturated fat than skin-on chicken pieces.

If you’re looking for an updated version of your old baked pasta classic, you’ve come to the right place.
This is one of those recipes that I love to prepare for dinner, because
everyone in the family gladly eats it, it comes together easily, and it
doesn’t break the bank. If you never thought you’d get your kids to eat
spinach, think again. Even my picky kids—who usually feel the need to
try to identify every different color and texture on their plates, and
who get nervous when “everything’s touching everything else”—love this!

I have nothing against giving my kids a sweet treat once in a while, but isn’t it nice when you can serve them something that’s both nutritious and delicious at the same time?
This pumpkin bread is a staple at our house, particularly around
Halloween and Thanksgiving, when everyone’s thoughts turn to pumpkins.
It comes together very quickly (even when the kids help, despite my
recent post!) and freezes beautifully. There’s no reason not to have a few slices in the freezer ready to defrost at any time.

Last week on my blog I revealed a guilty secret: I prefer it when my kids don't "help" me bake.
