Finger Food Fridays – Pizza Faces for Picky Eaters

Do you have picky eaters?  It’s probably an impossible task to decide what to have on your pizza on a Friday night.  Save yourself the headache and create your own pizza buffet at home!

Start out by taking your Picky Pete, or Picky Patty to the grocery store.  This gives you an opportunity to teach your child about the five food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and fats and sweets).  Let them help you pick out your groceries.  Studies have shown, kids who help pick out their food at the grocery store, or help plan and prepare a meal, are more likely to eat everything on their plate.

Once you’re done at the store, let’s get started preparing the pizza buffet!
