do you re-vamp your kids meals into tasty cuisines for you and dh when kiddies are in bed?? If so please tell me how?

dh and I love tasty, spicy food. our children are young and only enjoy very plain food. this week I did a normal roast chicken dinner (but with thighs in roasting tin with onions and carrots) and served chicken and steamed veg for my children at 4pm. whilst there plates were cooling I had a flash if inspiration and in the roasting tin full of the remaining thighs etc for DH and I later in the evening i chucked in a can of tomatoes mixed with curry powder. the results after another hour of roasting were amazing! and so cheap to make. literally with a few new potatoes and mangetout....yum!

there must be more versatile ideas like this to keep everyone happy? Please can you share them with me

Dip cold, half eaten fish fingers into a pile of mash and disguise cover with some kind of white sauce. Tell DH it's a Siscillian fish dish.

We do it the other way round - cook our food as we like it within reason and then add milk or yoghurt or sour cream etc to ds and he has eaten like this since he was weaned now we are able to reduce the amount of yoghurt etc and he eats 95 % of the same as us.

Mine is pretty simple. Noodles, pasta etc goes to the kids with cheese, chicken and olive oil with a plain side salad (their favourite). For us, I add a stir fry with chillies.
For curries, I just add some more chilli powder/curry powder and give it a boil for us. Or the other way round - add yogurt and cream for the kids.
But they both enjoy mild spicy food. Dd can actually sometimes eat more chilli than I can - medium to hot!

Same as timmette - dd (2) likes strong flavours anyway, so all we tone down is hot chilli, with yoghurt, coconut milk, etc.
