Do your little turkeys strut right underfoot in your harried holiday kitchen? Put ’em to work, instead, with our kids holiday menu.
Metro Parent’s editorial crew did some (very delicious) field work to create these six family-pleasing recipes sure to get the job done this holiday season.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect side, a cinchy dessert or appealing appetizer, these ideas are sure to get your gears going — and grab your kids’ attention, too.
And we weren’t satisfied with foodstuff that just looked Pinterest-pretty. We wanted to make sure our kids holiday menu delivered exactly what it promised.
So we here at Metro Parent made each one of these yummy recipes right in our test kitchen. And we’re happy to report they’re all simple — not to mention tasty — as pumpkin pie.
