They'd be psyched with chicken nuggets and fries every day, but you'd rather give them grilled tofu and organic kale. Consider these Pinterest recipes a happy medium

When I was a kid, the list of what I wouldn't eat far exceeded the list of what I would. My mom would literally bribe me with toys to get me to eat my veggies -- and even then I'd rarely have more than a bite or two, despite the risk of Barbie getting banned for the night.

Luckily, my picky eating has subsided, and I'm (mostly) a healthy eater. And while I've since apologized to my mom for staging a protest at every meal, I know the epic battles of moms vs. kids and carrot sticks vs. French fries still rage on in kitchens across the country.

To give you a little ammo in the fight, I've rounded up six recipes from Pinterest that should please even the pickiest of kids (I would have chowed down on them even at the height of my finicky years). Not only are the recipes kid-friendly, but they'll also allow you to sneak in some much-needed fruits and vegetables without drowning them in cheese sauce or butter.

And with nary a chicken finger in sight, you may even want to dig into these dishes as well.

I don't know if I would prepare all these foods, but I like the way the article was put together. I do believe in keeping food interesting and it affects the exterior of your body too. Not to mention mood
