Most of these recipes are food that my kids eat, designed to be a painless process for mom, so quick and easy to make and clean up, cheap, but healthy, considering nutritional requirements, and food allergies, but still being festive for the season, and stuff that satisfies multiple picky eaters… and motherhood is hard, but cooking dinner doesn’t have to be. These are categories I felt most useful to me as a mom.
