With summer coming up around the corner, I figure it would be nice to post some kid-friendly summer food ideas! Kids love to get messy, and it's rare that they're allowed to make a mess at the dinner table. From ribs to corn on the cob, this saucy and sloppy meal is sure to bring a few smiles!
Kid-friendly dishes
Appetizers/Sides:
Cole slaw: Cabbage, carrots and maybe a few other vegetables are cleverly masked by a sweet dressing.
Corn on the cob: It's hard to eat corn if you're missing your front teeth, but it sure is fun.
Baked beans: Full of fiber, the sweet sauce on these beans entices kids.
Entrees:
Barbecued ribs: Kids love getting their fingers messy. They'll gobble these up.
Pulled pork sandwich: A bun helps contain the juicy barbecued meat.
Fried catfish: Breading, it seems, makes any food appealing to kids.
Treat:
Sweet potato pie: Vegetables for dessert!
Thumbs-up:
There are plenty of "kid-friendly" foods here.
Family-size portions mean it's easy to share.
Thumbs-down:
Much of the meat is greasy and salty.
Many sides are deep-fried.
