I must get asked a million times a day what to make for the kids. I am NOT a chef, nor did I CREATE any of these… BUT, I do use them frequently so I posted them for you (with appropriate credit where credit is due) for you to peruse and maybe even use. Watch for more ( I couldn’t possibly get them all down at one shot, but here are some I have used super recently).

Lemon Chicken with Spaghetti Squash – Tasty.com
https://tasty.co/recipe/lemon-chicken-spaghetti-squash
This is light, and delish- for my family of 5 I have to double it (two men, two kiddos, and me)
Korean Beef Bowl- Damnedelicious.net
This reminds me of the appetizer from PF Changs that you get the lettuce wraps with- except as a meal- it would still be lovely in a lettuce wrap. For kids you may want to reduce (or eliminate) the red pepper flakes. Rice of course is brown.
Turkey Burgers– Food.com

Its kind of like turkey meatloaf on a bun. Sometimes we make it fun and add jellied cranberry sauce and stuffing as toppers- THANKSGIVING BURGERS!!!
Shephard’s Pie: Weightwatchers.com
This is NOT your traditional Shephard’s Pie- It’s healthier and full of flavor- we love this as a change. Easily prepared in advance and frozen or chilled the next day. Just like it’s namesake- it tends to be better when its prepared in advance and the flavors have a chance to melt together.
Meatloaf: AllRecipes.com
http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/16354/easy-meatloaf/
MY EDITS- I use whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs, and for my salt and pepper I use Tastefully Simple All Natural Seasoned Salt. I also use 1.5 tbsp of the brown sugar.
