Lemon chicken and pea risotto.

They all hated it

I have pasta with tomato sauce and cheese planned. Also the lamb casserole with dumplings.

Tell me they are going to be more successful

What do they normally eat?

I would say the other two may be more successful - they would go down a storm with DS1 - not sure I could say the same for lemon chicken and pea risotto.

I did veg burgers from the 2nd book and none of mine would eat them.
I haven't tried any others yet!

The risotto is the only recipe from that book I have not been successful with.

Ooh I love the risotto! My Mum even had seconds! (Unheard of).

Can't remember if I've done it for DS though.

I liked it. And we do have risotto on a fairly regular basis.

Think it was the lemon that put them off tbh.

Deserts not so easy as DD2 is dairy allergic.

Toffee tart sounds delish though. Will try it for DH and I

Oh bum - sorry, forgot about the dairy allergy - well make the jam tart then (although you may want to use strawberry rather than the lemon curd we had - nearly ate the whole thing in one night)

My kids adore lamb and love pasta too. Rice they would've eaten I guess but not with as much gusto.

Good luck

Fish cakes are popular here but can't remember if they have egg in...

Egg we can do.

I hate fish though I force it down on a nutritional basis!

Am off to try her flapjack recipe now.

Well I use cod which doesn't really count as fish (well it does, but not oily fish) ... so it's only an alternatively shaped fishfinger really

GeorginaA · 09/10/2006 21:25

Or I'll use tuna...

Flapjacks in the oven.

Tuna I can do. Cod almost, as long as there's no bones!

We are doing the chicken nuggets on Saturday, everyone helping

Get cod loin - never found a bone yet
