Other “H” Ideas Kids Will Love
In need of more ideas that your kids will love? Look no further! We've got some great ideas for you here, all starting with the letter H.
- Hamburgers. Burgers are among every kid's list of favorite foods. They make for a great summertime dinner. There are so many different toppings you can throw on a burger, from ketchup to mac and cheese. Have your kids help you pick out the toppings for your burgers.
- Hot dogs. Another summertime classic. Hot dogs can be customized just about as much as burgers can be, making them great for everyone. Just put ketchup and mustard on, or make it fancy and add chili and relish.
- Hash browns. A morning classic, hash browns are easy for small hands to eat and delicious. They don't work too well by themselves for breakfast, but when paired with a bagel or toast it makes for a complete start to the day.
- Haddock fish fry. A fish fry is a great way for a kid to eat more seafood, since children tend to be pickier with fish than adults are. Grab some haddock from the store and prepare it as a fish fry. Serve with fries and coleslaw, and you've got a great dinner!
- Honey-glazed ham. Ham on its own might not be a kid's favorite, but honey-glazed ham is sure to leave them satisfied! The honey will add a nice touch of sweetness; what kid doesn't love sweet food? Honey is also quite healthy, so you can rest assured knowing that you aren't giving your child something bad for their health.
- Honey and toast. Toast is a great way for your kids to start their day. Putting some honey on is a great way to add flavor, and is a healthier choice than jams or jellies that might have a lot of sugar. It's also great for sick kids, since honey can sooth a sore throat.
- Hazelnut spread. If you've had Nutella before, then you've had hazelnut spread! You can buy a jar of Nutella from the store or make your own. Either way, hazelnut spread is a yummy addition to toast, cookies, brownies, and pancakes, among other foods. Your kids will love the taste, and you'll love the flexibility!
