Tips for Picky Eaters
Meal planning with this week’s recipes is super easy to do for your family! Here are some tips to make this diet work for even picky eaters:
- Sneak in Veggies: Mix spinach or carrots into lasagna sauce or cheeseburger soup for extra nutrients without anyone noticing.
- Custom Toppings: Let everyone build their own taco pizza or Hawaiian haystack—kids love to control their plates!
- Tone Down Spice: For Korean beef, use less sauce or switch to a milder teriyaki glaze if your kids don’t like the spicy taste.
- Change Ingredients: Not a fan of pineapple on Hawaiian haystacks? Use chopped apples or grapes instead of the sweet crunch.
- Make It Fun: Cut taco pizza into fun shapes, add colorful toppings, or serve cheeseburger soup with a side of crackers for dipping.
- Go Easy: Use plain pasta in lasagna or skip the onion in the soup for kids who prefer lighter flavors.
- Add Their Favorites: Sprinkle extra cheese on almost anything—it’s an easy way to win them over!

Saving Food Planning Leftovers
I only use the meal plan Monday-Friday because sometimes we have plans over the weekend or I have leftovers to finish the week! If you have leftovers, be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
