As a parent, meeting the nutritional needs and culinary preferences of your kids can be a constant challenge. Ensuring that your children receive a well-balanced and nutritionally rich diet is a priority. You also want to establish good eating habits and a positive relationship with food that will carry them into their adult lives. Obviously, children of different ages have different requirements, though a general rule of thumb is that your kids need to be consuming three balanced meals a day that contains ingredients from all the five main food groups plus at least one healthy snack.
If you have a child who is a picky eater, the dining table can become a battleground as you try to get your kids to eat a broad selection of foods that meet all their nutritional requirements.  In order to ensure that your child has a positive view of mealtimes, it is often a great idea to get them involved with meal preparation, so meals that are easy to prepare are often a great recommendation for child-friendly meal times.
