Managing Meals
1. Consider children’s tastes. When you’re cooking, don’t necessarily make meals geared towards your kids. However, consider their tastes in addition to yours when planning and cooking meals.
• Make a couple of offerings you know your kids will like if you’re trying a new recipe. For example, if you’re making meatloaf for the first time, consider having sides you know your kids will eat such as potatoes, pasta, or cut veggies.
• Remember that you’re not a short order cook, but you can tailor dishes you are already making. For example, if you’re putting a spicier topping on your meatloaf, consider leaving part of it plain for the kids. Allow them to try the spicy part if they like.
