SummitPlate dinner plan
Kid-Approved Dinner Week
A calm 5-day dinner plan for picky kids
One family dinner each night, with at least one safe food and one low-pressure adventure side.
5-day dinner plan
| Monday | Build-your-own chicken quesadillas | Safe base: cheese tortilla. Adventure side: peppers or beans on the table. |
| Tuesday | Butter pasta with turkey meatballs | Sauce stays separate. Add cucumber coins for crunch. |
| Wednesday | Breakfast-for-dinner plates | Eggs, toast, fruit, and a tiny smoothie sample if they are open to it. |
| Thursday | Taco rice bowls | Rice and cheese stay familiar; beans, lettuce, salsa are optional. |
| Friday | Homemade mini pizzas | Kids choose toppings. New toppings go on the table, not forced onto the plate. |

Why this works
The win is not perfect eating. The win is a dinner where everyone has something they can eat and nobody needs a backup meal.
