One of our goals at Prep Dish is to make sure all of our recipes are family friendly. I love when I get the chance to see our subscribers favorites but it's even more exciting to see their kids favorites! Kids can be picky and vocal at the dinner table so it's always a plus to find recipes kids enjoy that also checks off the healthy box.

We listened to our customers feedback and created a list of Prep Dish's kids favorite recipes.

If you'd like to get your kids involved in actually making these recipes alongside you, make sure to check out Kids Cook Real Food. They offer a free kids knife skills class for our Prep Dish community!

Kids favorite breakfast Peanut Butter Cherry Breakfast Cookies

All you have to do is tell your kids your having cookies for breakfast. It's that simple. They don't need to know that these cookies are a great source of protein and have less sugar than a bowl of cereal.

It's not too hard to get kids to eat muffins for breakfast! You can feel good about this one as it's mostly sweetened by the bananas. If your kids want more sweetness add a tablespoon of honey!
