Dinner should be family time, and healthy foods help children reach their full potential. That's why we partnered with Great Nations Eat for this post.
Kids aren't always excited about eating the same thing you do, but there are a few ways to create a family meal they'll be tempted to try. Including fresh and healthy ingredients encourages kids to expand their tastes while fueling growing bodies. And little ones go through foodie phases, which gives you the opportunity to explore new things. Right now my daughter is obsessed with pizza, so we've tried making tons of variations — even steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese!
