An Extra Delicious Helping Of Real Food Solutions
(NAPSA) - Parents having trouble getting kids to eat the holiday turkey with all the trimmings are not alone.
The "Real Holiday Helpings" survey, commissioned by Hellmann's (and Best Foods (Mayonnaise revealed that, although parents spend an average of six hours on holiday dinner preparation, kids would just as soon select pizza, chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese over traditional holiday fare.
What's more, even though kids recognize the time that goes into the family dinner, 49 percent still don't eat everything on their dinner plate.
Fortunately, preparing food to please the whole family does not have to be complicated.
"With a few simple tips and recipe ideas, it is easy to prepare a delicious holiday meal that both kids and adults will love," said critically acclaimed chef, author and TV personality Bobby Flay. "It is possible to create one great meal for all your holiday guests, no matter how old or picky the palate."
Flay is a celebrated chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, television personality and the recipient of the 2008 Bon Appetit "Cooking Teacher of the Year" award but he gained a widespread following by showing people how to prepare delicious meals that are made from simple and fresh ingredients.
To help busy parents avoid double duty in the kitchen, Flay has created an online program with recipes and tips on how to prepare simple, real food.
