Family Recipes in a flash
I enjoy cooking for my family, but find myself making the same things over and over again. I remember cooking for both my boys when they went on to solids. The evenings spent boiling, mashing, steaming, blending and freezing everything. It was hard work, but I knew I was doing my best for my boys. Neither of them took to the jarred food, my oldest being sick every time I tried it with him. I found some delicious foods to make my kids as babies and as toddlers, but I would like to know your special dishes you like to cook for your family. Only 2 rules for this… it has to be quick and it has to be healthy.
Here is my favourite dessert to make.
You need: Mango, plain yoghurt, brown sugar.
Cut up a ripe fresh mango or 2. Cover with a thick layer of natural yoghurt and sprinkle a layer of brown sugar on top. Cover and leave in the fridge for a few hours.
Easy, fresh and healthy. My kids love it.
My favourite meatballs recipe is so easy!
You need:
500g mince, 1 packet of brown onion soup powder, 2 table spoons of natural yoghurt, 1 small onion.
Chop the onion and add to the mince along with the soup powder and yoghurt.
Roll into meat balls and bake in the oven covered, with a little boiling water at the bottom of the pan, for 40 minuts. Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.
Serve with mash, gravy and peas.
Yum.
We make mexican food.
We just take regular backed beans and add lots of veg like corn and peas etc and warm it all up together. We then put corn chips (proper mexican ones) in the bottom of a large oven dish, pour the beans over it, add cheese and bake. You can add chicken if you like.
Quick and easy and quite healthy.
