My kids will eat almost anything we put in front of them. Some other easy meals are sloppy joes, grilled chicken, spaghetti and meatballs. (Any soft meat meals... like meatloaf. Nothing that would be too chewy.)<br /><br />Applesauce, yogurt, all kinds of fruit and carrots and cucumbers are staples.<br /><br />If you have trouble getting them to eat something ketchup, ranch or honey mustard seems to make everything better for some reason. Last night Jason was dipping his cantaloupe in ketchup. Gross!<br /><br />And you can usually fall back on pb&j if necessary.<br /><br />Good luck! You are a good friend to help a tired mama out! I am sure she won't care too much what you feed the kids because she is just going to be sooooo incredibly happy to have some help.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347423808769328753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971418934962596212.post-851823026809305162011-06-16T13:02:17.638-04:002011-06-16T13:02:17.638-04:00Mac and Cheese is a good choice.

Also, spaghetti is always a hit, especially if there is garlic bread. :) Good luck.

I know kids also like those chicken fingers and nuggets as well as slices of apples and grapes if you want it to be more healthy :-)Tatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499818862831336384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971418934962596212.post-66349996019683776972011-06-16T10:46:02.596-04:002011-06-16T10:46:02.596-04:00What kids eat depends a great deal on the kids.

Generally mac & cheese, chicken (especially in nugget/breaded form), and spaghetti seem to go over well, but I've seen lots of kids who would like just as much to eat "grown-up" food. If the kids know you/think you're cool you could probably make something a little new and different, since kids (at least younger kids) tend to be more likely to try new foods if they see somebody cool eating it. Try not to stress too much over it, and whatever you do DO NOT suggest that they might not like what you make.Rebolokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596517608366115894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971418934962596212.post-74458649020026272162011-06-16T10:35:06.496-04:002011-06-16T10:35:06.496-04:00chicken fingers or even fish sticks! something por...chicken fingers or even fish sticks! something portable and universally loved:)vintchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712981340712876360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971418934962596212.post-4664397211865902222011-06-16T10:22:58.967-04:002011-06-16T10:22:58.967-04:00ask the kids! for the first dinner, keep it somet...ask the kids! for the first dinner, keep it something simple that you can be pretty sure they will like (homemade mac/cheese, hamburger helper, homemade chicken fingers). or, a favorite of mine from when I was a kid: breakfast for dinner (french toast is a hit).Geoffhttp://geoffbrace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971418934962596212.post-41130717799410953652011-06-16T10:21:29.745-04:002011-06-16T10:21:29.745-04:00well, its been a while since my "kids" w...well, its been a while since my "kids" were "kids", but there is always Mac-n-cheese....(Annie's was always popular around our house)...Good luck!
