5 Thanksgiving Potluck Dishes Picky Eaters Will Love
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is gathering with extended family for a huge potluck meal. But when your child is a picky eater, those potluck meals can quickly become more negotiation than conversation.
The perfect solution to Thanksgiving Day potluck battles is to take a dish that even picky eaters will love.
Since children will often eat a piece of plain turkey or ham, the addition of just one kid-friendly Thanksgiving side dish is a great way to be sure picky eaters actually eat real food on Thanksgiving!
These easy Thanksgiving dishes for picky eaters are a winning combination for everyone. The kids get the green light after their meal to eat dessert and Mom gets to spend lunch enjoying grown up conversation.

First, grab a stack of disposable clear punch cups- because who wants to wash dishes after a huge Thanksgiving meal?
Turn those plain punch cups into turkeys using foam, google eyes and a glue gun. Even picky eaters will often branch out a little when food is fun!
