Kid Food

It's intensely fudgy, dense, and amazingly fun to eat.

I make it every week.

It couldn't be easier.

And it won't break the bank.

One bite, and you’ll be surprised that this meal didn’t take an entire evening to make. 

Two really stood out as clear winners!

"It's just so upsetting."

It's the perfect dinner staple.

Take this list with you the next time you go.

Here's a hint: both my kids have one now!

It’s so creamy!

From toddlers to tweens, we’ve got you covered.

Perfect for those busy weeknights.

Looks like porcelain ... but it's not!

Kid-friendly, parent-appreciated.

It results in a week of colorful and produce-packed family-friendly meals.

That crust!

A heavy hand of pepper and grated cheese is the secret.

Because you know they are.

I’m never going back.

It’s a sauce! It’s a dip! It’s a dressing!

The possibilities are endless.

It's the best for a reason.

It’s full of bright, tomato flavor.

How to ensure it's balanced *and* something the kids will love.

Because adjusting to the back-to-school routine can be tough.

The secret ingredient is the best $5 you’ll spend all week.

Your potato masher is good for more than one task.

So cool, so creamy.

I’ll be baking it all summer!

It's the only thing I want to drink right now!

It really is foolproof.

A simple step with big rewards.

It only takes 2 minutes to make.

“The undisputed champion of hot dogs.”

It guarantees a juicy peach EVERY time.

Added bonus: clean up time is cut in half.

You can forget the corn syrup and artificial colors.

Most of them only call for one pot, one bowl, or one baking sheet.

For the pickiest eaters.

Why finger salads are the way to go.

She has very good taste, it seems.

It'll help prevent the dreaded freezer burn.

The lemony sauce is perfect.

“It’s my favorite, HANDS-DOWN.”

It’s one of a kind.

The non-alcoholic, keep-you-cool drink that works for the whole family.

There’s a lot to love about an Oreo cookie. While the classic OG flavor will always have a special place in my heart (and at the top of our official ranking), I’ve been very impressed with the new flavors popping up on shelves in recent months. (Case in point: Chocolate Covered Pretzel and Mint Chip.) For the latest launch, the iconic cookie brand partnered with singer, actress, and entrepreneur Selena Gomez to release a limited-edition flavor.

Plus, four VERY worthy runners-up.

Is it ridiculous to write a list of reasons to love an ice-cream sandwich? Yes, but here I go.

It's hands-down the best I've ever had.

Plus, six more cans to grab ahead of summer.

Buying in bulk can save you on groceries and make dinnertime easier, too.

There are only a handful of recipes I keep in constant rotation. I’ve told you about Tara O’Brady’s basic, great chocolate chips cookies and Smitten Kitchen’s cannellini aglio e olio, but I’ve selfishly been keeping Ina Garten’s summer garden pasta a secret.At first glance, Ina’s dish looks like any other tomato pasta made with basil and olive oil. But once you get started, you’ll quickly learn why it’s special.

I always have all the ingredients on hand.

Everyone begs for the recipe.

Popsicle recipes perfect for every kind of summer day.

It’s not strawberry shortcake, and it’s not a strawberry trifle. Call it whatever you like: your kids won’t stop asking for it.

Some days are more balanced than others, and that’s perfectly fine!

Because the kids want to eat ... again.

“Perfectly crispy.”

And it’s no-bake too!

Chicken salad is the cool MVP of all kinds of family meals.

This is the only way to do it all summer.

There’s something for everyone.
