Batch cooking recipes for fussy kids?

[Tattiana]

Desperately looking for ideas for recipes I can batch cook and freeze for during the week, that kids will actually eat. Would be so grateful for any ideas

You would need to say what things they will and won’t eat. and then you could revert to the old fashioned idea of ‘you eat what I have served or go hungry’.

They don’t eat beef. They won’t eat spicy things or anything that’s overly herby/aromatic etc. They aren’t lovers of veg but will eat them in pasta, sauce etc.

Watching for ideas! Mine like bolognese (I make double - one with pasta and one with mash on top as a sort of cottage pie) and mild chicken korma. I also often do big roast chicken in the slow cooker, which lasts a couple of days, served with different accompaniments. But would like to vary it more!

Chicken stew and dumplings, healthy, easy to batch cook and include those veggies! Pork and apple casserole similar, chicken lasagna freezes well. Try introducing mild curry as it freezes well

I think making a base sauce that can be used as a standalone pasta sauce, or added to chicken/mince/rice is better than freezing complete meals. I made this hidden veg pasta sauce last week and my kids love it (they’re 7 and 3)
