Spring! Sunshine! What are you cooking?

[TempusFuckit]

I'm just doing my weekly meal plan, and I think I've forgotten how to cook anything which doesn't involve starting with onions, carrots and celery then bunging in a slow cooker. Share your toddler-friendly spring recipes please!

wed - chicken nuggets and pasta
thurs - salmon probably with hairy bikers ginger sauce
fri - something in slow cooker

Yesterday salmon nuggets with potato wedges
Today homemade burgers
Tomorrow pasta carbonara.

Oh and where's the sunshine?

Good point Julie! It had better be here soon ...

Anyways, here's what I came up with in the end - had the pork meatball spaghetti thing tonight, it was nice but needed salt.

Pea and asparagus risotto
Courgettes, goats cheese and bread
Spaghetti, peas and pork meatballs www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1959660/springtime-spaghetti-and-meatballs
Salmon with minted veg: www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3549/spring-salmon-with-minty-veg
White fish, mash and beans
Chicken thighs with asparagus and new potatoes
Sausage casserole from freezer

Roasted veg salad with feta (or mozarella) sun blush tomatoes and olives - all with a roasted garlic (roast it while the veg are cooking obv) and balsamic dressing...yum!

Mussels. Honestly. They're cheap, healthy, take 2 mins to cook and they're completely sustainable.

And kids love them - mine do and do do all those who've come on play dates. They just love pulling them out of the shells.

Just serve with crusty bread.

Ooh, mussels ... DS not keen, but I love them. That'll be on the list next week ...
