You will find some of our favorite healthy recipes for kids here.
Some of our most enjoyable times have been trying out recipes with the kids.
What better way to spend family time than cooking together.
Do you find it hard to prepare healthy kids recipes. Sometimes we think it takes too long to cook a healthy meal.
It is especially hard to focus on healthy meals at the end of a long hard day.
Did you know though that it is just as quick to cook an easy pasta dish as it is to put chicken nuggets and chips in the oven.
Don't get me wrong here. We do eat chicken nuggets and chips but try to limit it to once a week.

Healthy Kids Recipes
One of our favorite healthy kids recipes is a pasta dish.
All you need are: 400g spaghetti either fresh or dried.
Add a squash, 2oz butter, garlic, salt, pepper, alittle curry powder and around 6 oz grated hard cheese.
- Boil the spagghetti, takes around 20 minutes for wholemeal.
- Meanwhile peel and chop the squash discarding the seeds.
- Fry squash in butter and garlic granules or 1 garlic clove.
- Then pour in boiling water until half covered.
- Boil until soft 15 minutes.
- Mash squash then add grated cheese, return to low heat until cheese melts.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place on cooked spaghetti and serve.
All our kids love this and it is quite quick to do, half an hour in all.
- Roasted vegetable soup is another of our favorites and very easy.
- All you do is cut up similar sized veg, you can leave the skin on the veg if yoi like.
- I use carrots, cauliflour, onion, sweet potato, zuchinni, parsnips, tomatoes and peppers.
- Really I use any veg I have.
- I place all the veg on a big baking tray, usually will be enough to feed about 8.
- Cook in oven on 200 degrees fo raround 25 minutes.
- Leave to cool then liquidize with a tin of tomatoes, or chicken or veg stock.
- How much liquid depends on how liquid you lke your soup
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve or cool and refrigerate to reheat later.

Advice
We all need to eat 5 portions of fruit or veg or a combination per day.
This is for a healthy weight and lifestyle.
They are full of vitamins and m.inerals.
Tinned, frozen, chilled, fresh and dried fruits and veg all count.
A medium glass orange juice counts as one portion.
chopped vegetables can be hidden in foods such as bolognaise.
TIP: I make a tomato sauce with tomatoes(tinned or fresh)and vegetables.
Put tomatoes in a pan with garlic and herbs and vegetables and cook.
Puree and use as a pasta sauce or as a sauce for bolognaise.
