Kid-Friendly Weekly Meal Plan: Fuss-Free Ideas for Every Meal

Feeding kids isn’t just about “what’s healthy.” It’s about what they’ll actually eat without a side of drama. If your meal planning involves last-minute panic, rejected vegetables, and repeated requests for butter toast—you’re not alone, mama.

This week, I’m sharing a realistic, no-fuss meal plan that balances nutrition and sanity. These ideas are toddler-approved, screen-free, and designed to help you breathe easier at mealtime.
