]]> Making interesting lunches every day is hard enough, without having to cater separately for your kids. The chances are, if you’re anything like most parents, you want tasty and versatile dishes that the whole family can enjoy—and you want them to be ready and on the table in under half an hour. Check out this great recipe for egg-topped tortilla wraps—you can add or take away ingredients to change the flavors, and they will be super popular with kids and adults alike.

Ingredients (to serve 4):

  • 4 tortilla wraps
  • 7 medium eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 1/2 cup of grated cheese
  • 1 cup of spinach, wilted in a pan
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan.
  2. Whisk the grated cheese into the eggs, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir the wilted spinach in through the egg.
  4. Spread a thin layer of tomato paste over one side of each tortilla.
  5. Place one tortilla into the hot oil with the tomato paste side facing up. Fry for 1 minute.
  6. Carefully pour some of the egg mix over the top of the tortilla, taking care that it doesn’t slide off the tortilla. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Once the egg is starting to set, carefully fold the tortilla in half using a spatula. You can also flip the tortilla at this point if you wish, but if the egg isn’t set enough there is a risk you may lose some of your topping.
  8. Once the tortilla is browned and the egg is set, remove the tortilla from the pan.
  9. Repeat this process until all of the tortillas are cooked.

]]> Many kids gravitate towards fast food options as their favorite meals, and for lots of children burgers and fries are hard to beat. Whilst you may not love the idea of your children eating this meal on repeat, if you’re making it at home there are lots of ways to reduce the calories, fat, and salt and ensure the meal delivers some nutritional benefits, whilst still being super tasty. Check out these tips on how to create a healthier burger and fries.

The Burger

Make your own burger patties, using a mix of five to ten percent fat minced with some canned beans and onions. Fry the onions in a little oil, add whichever seasonings you wish, then mash the beans with a fork before adding to the pan. Add the meat, fry until cooked through, and then use an egg and some flour to bind the patties together. Making the burgers from scratch gives you control over the ingredients, and you can bulk out some of the higher-fat mince with super healthy beans whilst losing none of the flavor.

Insist on a Green Side

Whether it’s a side of peas, a salad, or even some steamed broccoli, make a point of serving your homemade burger and fries with some sort of vegetable. Between the beans in the burgers and this vegetable portion, this helps to make the meal more nutritionally balanced.

Use an Air Fryer

Cooking the fries in an air fryer, as opposed to a traditional deep fat fryer, will significantly reduce the calorie content of the fries, whilst losing none of the taste. You can also add some seasonings other than salt, such as smoked paprika, oregano, or rosemary, to add more flavor whilst keeping the salt content low.

]]> It’s always nice to make dinner for your children, but let’s be real—it can also be taxing to do it every single night. Not only do you start to run out of ideas of what to make them, but sometimes you’re just exhausted and don’t feel like making anything. If that’s the case, here are three kids’ meals that are super easy to prepare when you need them.

Chicken Nuggets

Thank the word for chicken nuggets. It seems to be the food that every single child in the world likes, and can you really blame them? They taste delicious, they have protein, and they’re incredibly easy to prepare. Seriously, 20 minutes and you’re basically done.

Fish Sticks

Fish sticks are basically like the fish version of chicken nuggets, and your kids will thank you for making them. Similar to the nuggets, all you really have to do is take them out of the freezer, toss them on a pan, and heat them up in the oven and you’re done!

Garlic Pasta

This dish will take a tad longer, but it’s also just as easy. You can’t really go wrong with pasta, and we suggested throwing some garlic in the mix to add some flavor. Your kids will appreciate your willingness to expand their flavor palette, and you’ll be done in a half hour.

Grilled Cheese

Another option is a grilled cheese sandwich. Toast two slices of bread with some cheese in between, and cook until the cheese is melted and gooey. You can also add some veggies to make it a bit healthier if you choose.

Turkey and Avocado Wrap

Finally, try making a turkey and avocado wrap. Spread some mashed avocado on a tortilla, add some turkey slices, and wrap it up. You can also add some chopped veggies like lettuce or tomato for some extra crunch. This happens to be a popular one, so don’t be surprised if your kids want it every day after you make it for them once.
