Expand Your Kid’s Palate with These International Recipes

With so many foods available in the world, it’s great for Bitsy to introduce them to all of the different tastes and textures from all over!  Starting them off early with new and different foods is a great way to avoid picky behavior in the future.  It also keeps you and your family from getting burnt out on the same kid-friendly foods week after week!  So how can you get them going with international recipes?

You can start by introducing different foods slowly, and by trying new textures and taste profiles in the form of their favorite foods!  If your little one loves mac n’ cheese, try a super fun and tasty noodle dish!  If they love foods like tacos, try other Mexican variations!

2. Homemade Naan

A great side dish, this naan is delicious, crispy, and a little garlicky!  Little ones will love this as a “substitute” for bread, and it makes a great pizza crust for something different!  See how to make this easy side here!
