Toddler-Approved Thanksgiving Dishes

BRING ON THE FOOD! (as if THAT hasn't been the theme of 2020!)

It’s elastic waistband time, and I’m planning out our Thanksgiving menu. I just realized how odd it will be to only cook for our family this year.  We won’t have any family or random friends around our table. (Thank you, COVID.)

We are outnumbered with our five kids. Lord knows that I am not about to slave away for two days to create the perfect table spread for an audience who will turn their noses up to it!  I am not going to spend an hour forcing my kids to eat and try new things. 

My perfect Thanksgiving looks like this: Music playing and mimosas poured as we start baking desserts in the morning.  Family games or outdoor time will be happening so that I can actually cook and clean as I go. Then I’ll tackle the side dishes with ease before tin foiling everything to hang out with the family and watch the turkey fry.  We’ll all laugh and chat, not spilling anything, throughout the meal and all clean up together before diving into desserts and Christmas movies.  

You see? No where do I envision bribing, tricking, threatening, or starving my children. Are you following me here?  That means that I need a really simple, but amazing Thanksgiving menu that is toddler and kid approved. Anyone else out there feeling this way? The best way to have kids eat their food is to have them help make it.  They can set the table, help you cook, or aid in plating the food, but studies show that involved kids eat better than uninvolved kids.

The Best Toddler and Kid-Friendly Thanksgiving Foods

I have tried a few versions of each of these and included the recipe that was the most well-loved by kids in the age range of 3 to 11 years old!

Deep-Fried Turkey – being juicier and more flavorful will help kids eat more protein!
Crunchy Chickpeas 
Cornbread Stuffing 
Homemade Drop Biscuits
Honey Butter 
Gravy Mashed Potatoes 
Scalloped Potatoes
Broccoli, Rice, and Cheese Casserole 
Baked Mac and Cheese
Baked Green Bean Fries 
Roasted Carrots    

 

Even if your toddler eats a roll and a carrot, I’d call that a win. Pour the wine!

I’m pretty sure you can figure out the dessert aspect, but if you are still baffled on sweets that kids will love, I recommend the following:

Traditional Cookies: Chocolate chip or sugar are always a hit.

Ice-Cream Sundaes  - you can figure this one out!

Apple Pie  (Hands-down the BEST recipe) 

Brownies
