They do eat healthier...their dinner a couple of nights ago, homemade tuna spaghetti sauce & garlic bread

Another busy day, work tomorrow plus family over, so it was a beef stew in the slow cooker & attempting to clean the house with two little ones under foot. It ended up a quick dinner for them of hotdogs!! Trying to balance out the crap with fruit 😂🤦

Lunch for my 2 year old before nursery, she's started to refuse veggies again, at least she gobbles the hidden veg meals I cook 🙄

Before cooked and after bean Enchilada for my 6 year old, my 2 year old followed the beige theme with fish fingers 😂😂

Lunch for my two little ones, smoked salmon & cheese, with berries & yogurt.

The big one ripped his wallpaper in anger the other week, he's now spending half term learning how to decorate. I have made him a nice treat though for his hard work 😀

What's cooking everyone? We've go roast beef, potatoes, Yorkshire puds, stuffing, peas, Brussels, red cabbage & carrot & swede mash with lots of gravy!

My partners first attempt at a Stilton & Walnut Loaf, a little overcooked & the plaits are too loose but I'm impressed (don't tell him that 😁)

😂 so true!

See you at breakfast

Simple jacket potato with beans and cheese tonight, so everyone is it beans or cheese first??

End of term treat for the little ones :)

Changed my mind about the tacos, but we enjoyed the salmon alongside some potatoes with yougurt & dill & a salad. Will put the leftover salmon in the freezer for another day.

Breakfast time for me before I head to work, yum yum!

Meal plan out the window, I really fancied a chilli, salmon had moved to tomorrow :)

Made a quick Arribiata sauce tonight for a quick dinner as we were back late from Karate.

Meal plan Monday, I'm a day late! again there a few days the kids will be eating something different to us, which before kids is something I said I would never do🤣

Swimming after school today, so a quick tea, the 2 year old had food at nursery but she doesn't like to be left out:
Bluey tea of jam with cheese & peanut butter with banana
Yougurt
Strewberries & raspberries

K Cooks Hi, I'm a mum of two little people who works part time in a library and I love to cook. Sharing some of our meals ideas for anyone interested. Also I'm a massive bookworm, I have my own second hand online book for more info :)

It's one of those days when I end up cooking 3 different meals, it's not so bad as the pasta sauce and enchiladas sauce were leftovers from the freezer. I'll do our meal later.

Yesterdays lunch, celebrating running 5 miles again

Lunch for my 6 year old:
Smoked salmon & cheese bagel
Raspberries & strewberries, raisins
Maltloaf
Yougurt
Breadstick

Today's dinner chicken & pea risotto topped with some rocket & balsamic, using leftover roast chicken & peas from the freezer as the shopping isn't coming until tomorrow.

This sums up the last few days... Daddy has been to Vegas, so we've been treating ourselves!

Roast potatoes, garlic fish & prawns, rocket with a walnut pesto... Yum, it smelt like we were in Spain tonight

Tea for my 6 year old
