Back to School time is always sccreessful and as a mom of an almost two-year old who’s picky and doesn’t like anything I’m constantly on the search for kid friendly meals. But, who wants to spend all day/night in the kitchen making a meal? Not meeeee. I want to use my time laughing and playing with my little one when I get home from a long day at work. So I teamed up with McCormick to highlight some super easy kid approved meals I can make on the go for the back to school season.
Quinoa Taco Skillet
Give taco night a wholesome twist with this simple skillet dish. Season ground turkey or your favorite soy crumble meat substitute, quinoa, fresh tomatoes and corn with McCormick® Organics Taco Seasoning Mix for a kid-friendly meal the whole family will taco-bout.
Coconut Lime Shrimp with Zoodles
This single-pan meal calls for McCormick® Lime Extract instead of zest for a more concentrated flavor, plus McCormick red pepper for added heat. Serve baked shrimp over warm zucchini, yellow squash and carrot spirals for an elegant presentation – and amazing taste!
Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Spice Dip
Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A and fiber. They make a flavorful option to ordinary fries and are perfect to serve as a healthful appetizer or as a side dish.
Cinnamon Apple Rounds
Perfect for a healthy snack or indulgent-esq dessert these Cinnamon Apple Rounds are delicious. Include the kids when making this fun and nutritious snack. Toppings are only limited by your imagination.
