That being said, the prospect of having to think up a new dinner recipe after a long day can make your stomach sink. This guide is here to help by offering you some inspiration for healthy, quick, and easy meals that are sure to please your kids today. 

1. Flatbread Pizza 

Pizzas are a classic crowd-pleaser meal, especially for those with children. While your kids might enjoy eating pizza, you might be less keen, as the process of making the base yourself can be time-consuming and require a lot of cleaning. This is where the flatbread comes in. Flatbread pizzas are much faster to make, as you simply substitute the base with a flatbread. Not only does this make the meal faster to make but also healthier too. 

You can then create the pizza and add the toppings together with your children. As FCA explains, this can be a great opportunity to help you educate the kids about healthy eating and cooking.
