These can also be wrapped and put into luch boxes. Children are tempted by colourful foods. Use spoonfuls of coloured vegetables such as sweetcorn or carrots to brighten up meals. Grate vegetables into stews, soups and casseroles. Offer children sweet vegetables like sweetcorn and carrots in preference to strong tasting vegetables like cabbage or parsnips.
Pizza is very popular with children.
Add chopped fruit to breakfast cereals. For a simple dessert at any time of the day, chop an apple, banana or orange together for a tasty fruit salad that children will love. Add fingers of brown bread for a satisfying, healthy lunch. Pitta breads are fun for children. Store frozen and grill lightly or pop into the toaster for a few seconds.
