Let’s face it, getting your family to eat healthy nutritious meals is not always an easy task. Inevitably someone doesn’t like this or that vegetable, someone won’t like the meat and you end up feeling disappointed that you spent all this time making a meal that people won’t eat.
And what about all the sugar-laden desserts kids want to eat? It makes me cringe thinking about all that sugar!
That’s why I developed this round-up of recipes that the whole family will love, especially the kids! With some help from my blogging friends, there are over 120 recipes that are healthy AND family-friendly.
There’s everything from main dishes to decadent desserts (that are not sugar-laden) to easy side dishes. There is something for everyone on this list!
