Your parenting muscles (not to mention your patience) are likely getting a workout. And chances are, one of your most frequent forms of exercise is nutritional tug of war. As any parent knows, getting kids to eat something that's good for them is as difficult as, well, getting kids to eat something that's good for them. That's where we can help.

One of the best ways to fire up your little ones about healthful meals is to serve something they literally can't wait to get their hands on. So we've concocted some no-fork-required, kid-friendly entrees such as Crispy Chicken Drumsticks and Sloppy Joes. And, because some kids would rather nibble than sit down to a meal, we've included some fun low-fat snacks such as Pint-size PB-and-J Muffins and Cheese Fries. For dessert, we found a way to sneak in a serving or two of fruit that even the most stubborn eater won't turn down: Fruit Kebabs With Creamy Strawberry Dip. Kids won't have a clue that something that tastes this good is also good for them.

Now if you can only get them to help with the dishes.
