Im a busy mom and I dont have alot of time to cook. Im looking for inexpensive food ideas for my children who happen to be picky eaters (aren't they all). I want to make sure my kids try a variety of foods and enjoy what they are eating, and I don't it to be too expensive. any good ideas? thanks!

cut up fresh fruit and veggies in a bag in the fridge (make sure their very colorful and tasty) chicken cubed and refridgerated, cheese and crackers, yummy all natural fruit and veggie juices (bolthouse farms is a great one!) Frozen meals with frozen veggies added (you can also add some of the cubed chicken) Turkey dogs, Turkey burgers, eggs, string cheese, yogurt, cottage doubles, lotsa stuff :)

For good quick meals that are inexpensive you can watch "30 minute meals" on Food Network, Rachel Ray has great ideas...
also make sure they get a balanced diet with protein and veggies and fruit... but make sure they get fun food every once in while, like pizza, or burgers, or other takeout, but only for a treat otherwise they get used to that food which is not that good for them and it will be hard to get them to eat meals you prepare for them

I gave my kids edamame as snacks, they're in the frozen food section - get them in the pods and cook them whole, drain and salt them a bit - as long as the kids are old enough to know not to eat the pods, they're terrible!! My kids love them to this day - they're both grown now - I also used to give them frozen peas, that was a good "before dinner" snack especially in the summer.

Nuggets and tots, mac and cheese, pizza rolls, spaghetti, There are different shapes of pasta for spagetti dishes, too. Fresh veggies to "graze" on, chicken strips, hope this helps!
