Dietitian’s tips:
> Chicken Cobb: While a great lunch idea for kids, the Cobb Kabob can also double as an awesome party appetizer.

> Pepperoni Pizza: Encourage your children to try new veggies along with some of their favorite foods on this kabob. Try adding bell peppers or mushrooms. Exposure to all different foods is important, even if they don’t try or taste it the first time.

> Turkey Burger: If pesto isn’t something your kids like, pair with the tried-and-true ketchup and mustard.
