Picky Kids

When my kids come home from school, they always ask for hot dogs, chicken nuggets, or mac n' cheese. I've been trying to cook healthier meals for my family, and I don't want the kids to eat something different than what my wife and I are eating. Any suggestions on what I can make them that they would enjoy? Or how can I make these junk foods that they like healthier?

Why not make

Why not make the chicken nuggets yourself with boneless skinless chicken breast and crushed cornflakes. I personnally do not have hot dogs in my house and I only serve homemade mac n' cheese. That way I can control the amount of fat that is in the meal.
If the food is not in the house then you cannot serve the kids the food, if they have to wait for 2 hours in order for the macn'cheese to be ready they will ask for something else.

Have you tried Turkey dogs?

Have you tried Turkey dogs? They've got less fat than a hotdog and taste pretty close to a regular hotdog, so maybe you're kids won't notice the difference. I agree with the home made chicken nugget idea, that mght work too. Good luck.
