The Toddler-Approved Thanksgiving Menu

The Toddler-Approved Thanksgiving Menu

BRING ON THE FOOD!

It’s elastic waistband time, and I’m planning our Thanksgiving menu. We are opening our doors to friends with young kids this year becuase our extended family is traveling afar.  Tables everywhere will be overflowing with food, laughter, and friends, and we are here for it! It got my wheels spinning on how to ensure the littlest (pickiest) eaters will be happy all day long while the adults eat, drink, and be merry.

When planning your Turkey-Day be mindful of options that the youngest guests will enjoy. You don't want to force-feed anyone, causing meltdowns or unwanted moments. You can let them help prepare the table, the place cards, and even the blessing. Including the toddlers and young children in the holiday will set the foundation for a love of helping and being grateful.

 

The Best Toddler and Kid-Friendly Thanksgiving Foods

I have tried a few versions of each of these each year and included the recipe that was the most well-loved by kids.

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

ENJOY!

Totally recommend 100% great gifts and customer service is amazing. Thank you so much Breann for assisting me! I got my grandmother the angel bear singing happy birthday from her mother who passed away last year. She would always call and sing happy birthday to all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. ALL of them. Never missed one. And this helped her to still have that last year and many years to come.

Where to begin. My son Davin was stillborn last year and I was for fortunate enough to have had his heart beat recorded. I found healing in taking My Heartbeat Bear animals and adding weight to them for other bereaved parents to have something special to hold and cuddle. I’ve since started a non profit called Our Baby’s Legacy for pregnancy and infant loss support, and these weighted animals are a big part of what we do.
The product My Baby Heartbeat Bear makes is really great quality, which is extra important for me considering they may become some parents most cherished possessions after their loss. The animals are super soft and I absolutely love the vintage design where they are floppy and cuddly, and just the perfect size. I also love that there are so many choices, I’m always touched by why one parent chooses one over the other. Seems like a small feature, but to be able to choose a cow because thief nursery was to be barnyard themed, or a bunny bc their baby was born in the spring, is something very special.
I also have found working with the company to be a wonderful experience. Sheldon is who interact with most. When first setting up my account he offered a free sample and has since sent me samples of other items by them. I’ve had to call and add last minute animals to my order or request they be processed ASAP and he and the other staff have always been very accommodating.
I can’t say enough about how easy they make my job. they don’t likely know it but they are making a massively positive impact in the bereavement community with these animals through Our Baby’s Legacy. The animals bring light and comfort into the lives of an otherwise dark and broken place.
