Family staples

[4waystretch]

I know this is a done to death thread but I'm running out of ideas. My DC are fairly unfussy but still young. DH on the other hand is a nightmare.

Please share your meals everyone likes, especially grabbable packed lunch type stuff or lazy easy weekend lunches and make ahead stuff!

Mine all pretty obvious ones
Watercress soup - weirdly beloved by everyone
Veg and pork meatballs in Tom sauce with rice
Turkey and courgette meatballs in pitta with tahini yoghurt

Our new family favourite is huevos rancheros. I would never in a million years think my kids would like it but they have surprised me. Kedgeree is very popular too.

Thinking about it I should probably give some more exotic brunches a try
