What is your child's favourite meal?

[Mercy]

Just looking for some inspiration really as we've got into a rut.

Sausage casserole -16 thin sausages cut into 3's put into baking dish with chopped onions for 15 mins take out of oven pout over 2 tins of toms a smal amount of water and mixed herbs put back in oven for 40 mins

serve with mash

Yummy MY dc actually ask for seconds when we have this

The dinnerlady book is really good for inspiration

That would be pour and small

Roast chicken with all the trimmings

macaroni cheese

DD (5.2) would eat salmon and spaghetti at EVERY meal given half a chance

For 2 of them (DS is 2.6) cook 1 salmon fillet in juice of a lemon and some butter in oven for 15-20mins. Cook spaghetti. Mash up cooked salmon and 'sauce', stir into spagetti. Serve with veg of your choice. Dead easy and clean plates all round in our house.

macaroni cheese.
and roast chicken with mashed potato, carrots,peas, gravy and... yorkshire pudding.

dd1...baked potato, cheese and beans.

dd2..chicken curry with 'sticky white rice'

ds1 homemade egg fried rice
ds2 yaki soba or any sort of stir fry noodle

Blinkingthreetimes - we make something similar but with canelinni and butter beans in it. Yummy.

dd1 kedgeree

dd2 yogurt and biscuits

Alien pasta (yes really I know your thinking 'she is lying no child would ever eat that let alone it be their favorite' but my 2 ask for it EVERY day. They are quite normal in every other respect)

sorry Alien pasta is

Cheese sauce with lots of steamed spinach whizzed up in it so it is bright lurid green

over pasta.

you're bugger

DD1's favourite is mushroom and courgette lasange (it is divine but an arse to make)

DD2's is anything that contains meat.

Second roast dinner

slien pasta sounds great

DWP I might try that next time I always make an extra lot as dp Likes to eat it at night

mine both like sausage casserole
ds1 likes spag bol and dd likes sausage, chips and beans

easy to please are my kids

roast chicken and potatoes with raw carrots, peppers and houmous

OR

penne pasta with Ragu sauce (in sachet)

anything which is boring and without any sauce mainly

they basically eat about 4 types of meals on rotation just to drive me to drink

DTS (4yo)

Steamed salmon with mash potato, carrots and broccoli.

Roast chicken with roast potato, stuffing, carrots, swede and broccoli

Lamb curry with mash potato, carrots and broccoli

Chicken curry with mash potato, carrots and broccoli.

Grilled sausages with mash potato or chips, carrots and broccoli or baked beans

Chicken meat loaf with mash potato, carrots and broccoli.

Irish stew with aforementioned vegetables

Try as I might, they will not eat rice, cous-cous or even pasta!! So potato it is!! Similarly the only vegetables that they will eat are carrots, broccoli and swede

DD1....roast/spag bol/tuna pasta
DD2....sausage and mash/roast/butter pasta (literally pasta with melted butter)
DD3....spag bol/lasagna/something with fish/roast
DS1....sausage and mash/tuna pasta/pizza
DS2....toad-in-the-hole with gravy/curry/roast (altho will only eat yorkshire pudds and gravy)/beans and sausages/tuna pasta (never eats potato's or bread/toast)

we have a lot of roasts and I often do pasta with several sauces for each child!!!

Tuna pasta bake (with peas)

ds loves sushi or a duck wrap...any Chinese/Japanese/Indian/Thai food in fact

oh, and home cooking - pasta with pesto is a favourite followed by slices of mango...he'll eat pretty much anything apart from mince,cheese or milk things

DS is 6.5 and his favourite is spagetti with grated cheese. Also loves pizza.

DD (6yo)
Roast chicken, roast potatoes, cabbage & broccoli, yorksire pudding

Cottage pie with peas and veg

Plain pasta with grated cheese (no other sauce!)

Spag bol or lasagne

Mild curry with rice

Sausage & mash, onion gravy, veg

Fajitas with salsa & sour cream

Ham sandwiches...

My 2 (8 and 5.5) like best:
homemade lasagne
beef sate (they love this and will eat my helping too if given the chance)
home made chicken gougons
fish pie
pasta with pesto
brocoli pasta (make a sauce with broccoli, garlic, butter, anchovies and parmesan)

Midn you - they're not fussy eaters, eat all sorts of veg and love salad!
Lucky I am!!

I have the same problem with ds oliveoil. He would eat sausage and mash every day if I let him. But dd understandably wants to branch out a bit now.

Thanks for the ideas so far.
