Healthy meal - ideas for children please!

[wendy33]

What is your child's favourite meal?

Need lots of ideas to expand on our usual dinners!

Shepherds pie
Fish pie
Spag bol
Hmmm I could do with some inspiration too

what age? Just for child, or shared family meals?

DD1 - 10
DD2 - 5

The meals need to be extra healthy as DD1 is overweight and we are monitoring what she is eating. She lives with her Mum but my DP is very worried about her weight. Mum is very reluctant to take her to the HV and is taking all this as a personal attack on her!

DD1 Step dad has askd us for ideas for meals what we want her to eat.

We need to educate them what is healthy IYKWIM.

Cheers
