I'm trying to get my 5 year old out of a picky phase and am looking for some of your favorite kid friendly meals to try with her. She claims to want nothing but pizza and chicken nuggets and that doesn't really fly (except on occasion) with my own wants.

    I also have a stubborn 5 year old and we have the 5 bite rule (1 bite per age). Rule is you HAVE to try it. You don't have to finish it but you can't just say "I don't like it" and leave the table. I also make sure to give him small portions of new things and then fill up his plate with fruit and veggies (which he really likes thankfully).

    I have the most success with "build your own" meals....tacos, wraps, sandwiches, etc. I can load mine up with veggies and he can have a boring taco with only meat and cheese ;) Sides are almost always raw veggies (or guac on mexican nights) and fruit.
