What are your hacks for getting a child friendly meal ready very quickly on a weeknight? I'd love some ideas.
I always have such good intentions of cooking good, fresh dinners for my kids (ages: almost 5 and 1) but after work and school/nursery it always ends up in a bit of a rush and we have fish fingers and beans far more often than I would like to admit.
The annoying thing is that batch cooking never works. Even if they loved the original meal, both kids seem to be able to tell if its reheated (especially if it's been frozen between) and refuse the batch cooked portion and it always ends up in the bin! So I've given up on that.
So... I'm after your speed cooking hacks!
I use rice pouches which are great and often use frozen veg. Both of those are quite obvious though. Do you have any other ideas?
