That's what I want to do ,hubby will try most things, but I have a 12 yr old that says he don't like most things, a 7 yr old that will pretty much eat anything but a 5 year old that won't eat meat or anything sloppy !!!!
So when I look at a recipe I think they won't eat that, and he won't eat etc, but I am going to just start cooking one meal and if they are hungry they'll have to eat it !
matthew my toddler sometimes says he doesnt like things but if hes hungry he eats it and if not it gets cling filmed until he says hes hungry then he gets it back (i do re heat it though ... im not totally cruel ) sounds strict i know but thats how may parents did it with me and it does work
it would drive me potty making loads of different meals
my son loves fish cakes and you can make sw versions
below im listing a few family faves in our house
bangers and mash (i make my mash syn free and creamy by mashing in a n egg whilst the potato is hot and seasoning well sounds strange but it works i was sceptical too) and use weight watchers sausages at half a syn each .... and plenty of veg
gravy i make with water mushrooms onions and beef oxo roast mushrooms and onions in oven then blitz with oxo and water and reduce to a thick gravy (syn free and packed with hidden veg)
stews casseroles etc etc
sausage casserole is good 1x tin of beans 1x tin chopped tomatoes 1x pack sausages (ww ones again) chopped an onion and peppers and add chopped potato too if you wish chuck all together mix and cook in oven or slowcooker
egg and sw chips
crustless quiche (i make mine in a silicone cake tin or mini ones in silicone bun trays)
beans on wholemeal toast (simple cheap and tasty)
surprisingly fish fingers are low syn(1.5 to 2 syns each depending on brand) so you can always have fish fingers with the kiddies
gammon god we love gammon
roast dinner (as long as you dont eat the skin and cook roasties in frylite its syn free)
shepherds pie
chicken pie (mashed topped ) i use my leftover chicken from a roast to make this
tuna pasta bake
sausage pasta
cheesy pasta
creamy brocoli pasta(i use primula light 1/2 a tub is a hex a ) to make the sauce
i could go on forever
