Give Kids' Foods a Healthy Makeover

Making your own at home is a great start. Fresh chicken - organic if you prefer - is a better choice than many of the mechanically separated, artificial and fried options you'd have at the drive thru. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, then dredge in egg whites. Follow with fresh or prepared breadcrumbs and spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Put in a 375-degree preheated oven on a baking sheet until they reach 170 degrees, then serve with dipping sauces. For snacks, kids who like chips will love homemade ones. Before you groan about the prep work, how does nuking them sound? Lay thin russet potato discs on a piece of parchment paper, salt lightly, and lay another piece of parchment on top. Microwave for up to 5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Now you don't have to feel guilty about giving kids their favorite "junk."
