There’s something very comforting in knowing you can serve up a meal for your youngest food critics and they’ll actually eat it – especially when time is at a premium on busy weeknights. After hearing from parents across the country, these tried-and-true recipes are the ones that get the biggest ‘thumbs up’ from their kids at home.

1. Everyone’s favourite comfort food - Supreme Homestyle Meat Loaf – goes great with Garlic Bread and a side salad for a satisfying supper.
2. Budda-boom, budda-bing! Italian Style Beef Meatballs in Marinara Sauce piled onto a heap of favourite noodles makes sure-to-impress meal. Plus, it makes a great lunch the next day – just pack it up in a keep-warm thermos.
3. Is it a meatball slider kind of night? If so, Sirloin Beef Meatballs make a mean miniature burger when topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bet the kids can’t eat just one!
4. Do your kids have a thing for food on a stick? Appease their request by threading cooked Meatballs onto a skewer for a fun kabob and pair with another favourite finger food - Shoestring Fries.
