When it comes to cooking for little ones,
many mums will tell you that it’s not the easiest of tasks. With disagreements
about who wants what for dinner, fussy eaters, and kids who don’t like trying
new foods, cooking up healthy, nutritious meals for your kids which are also
going to taste yummy can sometimes seem impossible. But, there’s no need to
give in and make chicken nuggets and chips every night – these healthy meals
are perfect for little mouths and won’t be a let down on taste, either!
Spaghetti Bolognaise
A firm favourite with children throughout
the decades, this Italian classic pasta dish is both simple to make and
enjoyable to eat. Although it may admittedly get a little messy around the
dinner table with kids excitedly slurping their spaghetti down, the meaty sauce
made with a minced meat of your choice can provide the perfect hiding place for
nutritious veggies such as tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, and onions.
Sausage and Mash
Another family favourite, sausage and mash
has been known as ‘good old comfort food’ for decades and can be tweaked and
customised to suit different tastes. Whether you’re using pork sausages,
traditional Cumberland, chorizo sausages or vegetarian sausages, this meal can
be different every single time you make it – don’t forget to switch up the
potatoes by trying sweet potato mash, or even go for a lower-carb version with
carrot and swede mash! For kids who find eating vegetables difficult, make sure
to add plenty of flavour to the mash with butter! Why not get involved with the
Meat and 2 Veg campaign with your family this November by tweeting pictures
of your sausage and mash to help raise awareness for male cancers.
Healthy Burgers
Cheese burgers are a huge hit with most
kids, but we all know that getting dinner from the burger place every night
isn’t healthy. But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make your own healthier
versions of your favourite burgers at home. Making burgers can be tons of fun,
and you can customise them with various types of meat or even using beans as
a vegetarian option! Not only is this a tasty and fun recipe that all the
family will love, it’s also a great way to spend some fun time together
preparing food as a family!
Tacos
Crunchy on the outside and filled with
tasty flavours on the inside, tacos are the perfect size for little hands and
can be far more interesting to eat than a plain salad. The great thing about
tacos is that most kids will love the shells, so use this to your advantage and
stuff them with healthy fillings and a generous helping of your little one’s
favourite sauce. Chicken
tacos are simple to make and bound to go down a treat.
