I have a 5 and 4 year old and I am needing some easy quick healthy recipes to start trying! My 5 year old is picky and my 4 year old will try anything! But I am trying to go ahead and get them trying healthy foods now while they are young... I never ate anything healthy growing up (hints the weight problem!!!) And I didnt start liking very many veggies until after I had kids and for some reason I tried a few things and now LOVE them! Anyways... I would like to try some new things... I love cooking so I would love to start making some healthy meals!!!! Help me out please!!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, I find that my daughter loves pasta so I make a huge pan on bolognese sauce from lean mince steak, beef oxo cubes (2-3), Onion, fresh or frozen garlic, pasata, tinned tomatoes, mixed herbs (dried or fresh but great if you add fresh basil)... I then just add whatever I have in the fridge i.e. peppers, courgettes, celery, mushrooms, carrots (finely chopped). When my daugher was younger I tended to blend it so that the veggies were still in there but she didn't know! Then I have lots of the sauce with a limited amount of pasta, I do try and always buy wholemeal pasta too... habbit of doing slimming world diet, I tend to try follow the same principles of SW and limit my carb intake generally. You can then have a small amount of half fat cheese on the top too. It's really tasty and if you make quite a lot it's good to freeze and then you can have it to hand whenever you need a quick fix meal.

    Hope this helps :-)
