Cooking for a family is hard. Trying to find meals that people will enjoy which are also healthy and not too complicated can feel difficult, and there’s nothing worse than spending time and energy cooking only for your kids to turn their noses up. A great way to make meals more appealing to children is to make them more fun and interactive so that they enjoy the experience of eating them and will learn to love the taste as well. Here are some ideas for some simple meals that are fun while also being healthy.
Dippy Eggs
Eggs are a super healthy food choice, as they’re high in protein as well as containing loads of essential vitamins and minerals. Children can find them hard to stomach sometimes, so making them more appealing is very useful. A classic choice is to use soft-boiled eggs and cut toast or bread into strips to dip into the yolk. Kids love this fun version of a simple meal, and you could serve some fruit or salad on the side for some added vitamins.
Sausages and Mash
This hearty meal is surprisingly healthy with good quality sausages and simple, homemade mash. To make it fun and more appetizing to children, you can make fun shapes out of the mash and sausages, such as a smiley face or some quirky animal shapes.
