The article discusses parents from the Tasty community sharing their go-to recipes for feeding picky eaters, aimed at easing mealtime struggles. It emphasizes that while parents desire nutritious meals for their kids, practicality sometimes takes precedence. Solutions include creative recipes like 'Hulk smoothies' that sneak in vegetables and family favorites like tuna salad and broccoli orzo. Sharing these successful dishes highlights the importance of community support among parents, uniting them in their common quest to get their children to eat healthier.
"It's not a dish per se, but I make 'Hulk smoothies' as a compromise to my child for not wanting to eat vegetables. I do a handful of spinach, cucumber, and asparagus with water, half a banana, and half a pineapple or mango. For my kid, drinking veggies is easier than chewing because it's faster and less gross."
"Even my over-the-top, ultra-picky 11-year-old likes this one: broccoli, carrot, and cheese orzo. We end up doubling the recipe, but there are never leftovers because everyone in our family of four has multiple servings." -Lisa, Saskatchewan, Canada, 39
"My daughter will always eat tuna salad - canned tuna with mayo, mustard, and pickles - served with more pickles. Always. She's only 5 years old, but she'll eat an entire can of tuna by herself, no problem. It's the one thing I know I can get her to eat when she won't eat anything else!" - adrienoelle2258
"My daughter is the pickiest eater, but she loves a good bowl of black beans and Spanish rice." -Anonymous
