Other “N” Dishes Kids Will Love
Whether you just want ideas for next week's dinner or you're trying to stick with the “N” theme, we've got you covered. Let's check out some other “N” dishes that kids will love.
- Nuggets. Chicken nuggets are a favorite of so many children. They're easy for small hands to handle, tasty, and can easily be dipped in a variety of sauces. Buy some pre-made from the store, or try your hand at making your own.
- Nutella toast. If your kids are picky eaters at breakfast, Nutella toast might just be the solution! It's a quick and easy breakfast to prepare, making it perfect for busy mornings when you're low on time.
- Noodles. Another easy dish to prepare! Noodles are easy for kids of all ages and stages to eat, since they're soft. Put them in a soup, or serve them with a healthy dosage of grated cheese.
- Nachos. If you're in need of a snack for your kids, nachos are a great bet. Either melt cheese directly on the taco chips, or make a cheese sauce for your kids to dip their chips in. Make sure each kid gets their own bowl so they can double-dip as they please!
- Nectarines. This is a sweet fruit similar to peaches. If it's summertime, this is a great snack option for your kids. It's healthy and delicious. If your kids are picky about eating fruit on its own, try mixing it in with some yogurt or drizzling honey on it.
- New York-style pizza. If you have a pizza oven at home, try your hand at making your own pizza! Your kids can definitely help out with this one. They'll love being able to throw their favorite toppings on the sauce before it goes in the oven.
- Neapolitan ice cream. This is a decades-old ice cream flavor that you've surely tried before. This ice cream is split into thirds, with each third being one flavor. The flavors you'll find in a pint of this ice cream are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
- Nuts. Nuts are a super healthy snacking choice for your children. They might not love nuts on their own, so try making a simple sugar syrup to go on top. While this might not be the healthiest choice, it'll certainly make them tastier! If you don't want to use sugar, try a honey syrup instead.
