Kid-Friendly Dinners

Why do I struggle with what to make my kids for dinner? My youngest has only four teeth, but will eat anything, and my almost three-year-old is a meat-and-potatoes kid. If peanut butter was the only thing I served him for three meals a day, he would be a happy camper.

So it's time to start brainstorming some easy recipes that I can make in minutes when I get home from work and welcomed by two hungry boys the second I walk in the door. Here's what I have so far - more coming later!
