Mega easy quick food receipes

[mhvp]

Has anyone got any? I am a brilliant cook but have a 1 year old and would love some. I have tried a couple of books without success.

I meant to say not a brilliant cook below!

mhvp, you are not alone, I can only confidently cook about 5 dishes. Sad I know so I would be grateful for advice too. R.

Rhiannon if your children eat them let me know the 5 dishes. I have just tried another on my little one and she hated it. What a waste. We do some tasty numbers I think!

mhvp, you must try this lamb casserole, which is a speciality of Ems! Tried and tested by Lizzer and myself and probably others, it is easy peasy and delicious!

(Cutting and pasting here). Buy neck fillet, chop, dust over some flour. Fry til brown with chopped onion and mushroom. Add small tin of tomatoes, a chopped carrot or two. Pop in your casserole pot, fill up with vegetable stock and put in the oven for as long as poss. 2-3 hrs at about 140.

Ems and others have come up with some other recipes - have a look at the threads called Cooking with Ems and Getting off Jars.

Thank jodee have just looked will try lamb cass. I think mine is definitely hooked on Organix baby food but will follow people's advice in Getting off Jars.

I am trying to find good veggie recipes - my babies favourite is cauliflower cheese - but she seems to reject a lot of the recipes I try to carefully prepare from books... Anyone got any ideas?

Try inroducing different tastes into the same basic cheese sauce: eg: brocolli cheese, macaroni cheese, leeks and potatoes with cheese sauce. If this works and she gets used to the taste, you cd then try the different veggies in other ways. My daughters' favourite veggie meal is lentils cooked in a slightly spiced coconut milk but they are school age and more used to different tastes. What I'd really like is inspiration for seriosly quick veggie meals to cook for a family after a stressful day at work when all I really want to do is send for takeaway!

I have been trying that and it has been quite successful - she will usually eat 'cheesy' things but I am still worried that it is not a balanced enough diet. I am still waiting for the rumoured phase where she will eat everything! I am starting to feel guilty for forcing a veggie diet on her - but probably she would not like the meaty stuff either?? btw she is just gone 7mths

My dd has just eaten her first Brussel Sprouts at the age of 2 - they had to be shredded up and mixed with grated cheese though!

AliH, cooked a nice roast dinner last night, everything he should have, meat, potatoes and 3 veg and all ds wanted was the brussell sprouts and anybody elses, he eventually picked at the rest. He loves them.

World's easiest recipe for kids ( and adults),and a favourite with my family when we were fussy kids was what mum called tuna fish pie.
Flake one can of tuna into the bottom of a small casserole dish, top with mashed potato ( two big ones mashed or the equivalent Smash). And then the best bit, and probably the reason we all loved it - crush up a packet of crisps and spread over the top.
Stick in a hottish oven for ten minutes or so.
This quantity used to feed the four of us when we were very small and it was the one thing we were all guaranteed to eat.
A variation is to put grated cheese on top.

just thought of another good toddler lunch.
Make a small cheese sandwich, press the sides quite firmly and dip in beaten egg and fry on both sides for a few minutes - it's a kind of cheesey French toast- the cheese melts and it's pretty yummy.

This is a receipe my mother which my mother has just sent me. She used to feed me as a child and which my baby enjoyed today and yesterday.

mhvp - sounds yummy, but where do I find chicken socks?
Just kidding...lol, I know you mean chicken feet. (No? I guess it would be chicken stock then! Lol! Don't worry, my typing is full of backspaces and corrections too!)
Thanx for the recipe!

Something my daughter (and everyone else who's tried it) absolutely loves is a recipe from a tv programme on sky.

1 avocado mashed up or chopped small
1 red pepper grilled until the skin's black. Put it in a freezer bag for a few mins 'til skin comes off easily, then chop or puree.

The texture obviously depends on the texture your baby's eating. Lovely on toast or pitta breads or baked potatoes, and only takes about 10 mins.

I forgot to say that you mix the avocado and pepper together. Probably obvious, but just in case.
