I decided to do that this weekend. As Husband works a Sunday night shift, we have our roast dinner on a Saturday and I cook something light for the kids and I on a Sunday. Miss C is a lot more adventurous with her food than Wee Z, however he is coming round to the idea of trying new things although not until he is 5 he says. So far on the day he turns 5 he is trying Brussel sprouts and broccoli!
Here's what we had for dinner tonight:
 |
| Rice cooked in chicken stock with veggies and smoked sausage |
 |
| Garlic and coriander naans a la Asda |
 |
| Strawberries with meringues dipped in chocolate with cream |
I love rice and pasta dishes as they are so easy to throw together and take no time at all to cook. Wee Z loves breads so I thought he might like to use the naan bread to eat his rice with and they both LOVE smoked sausage so I added that, along with some lea & perrins (no soy sauce left!) to make it more appealing to them. Wee Z isn't keen on veg at all and picked the sweetcorn out of his rice but did manage to eat the tiny pieces of carrot without knowing it. Miss C had finished hers within about 2 minutes...she likes something different every now and again!
We have a dessert at the weekends too instead of yogurt or custard. Miss C could eat a full punnet of strawberries herself and these ones were really sweet. Wee Z tried a strawberry for the first time since he was a baby and managed to eat half of one before deciding he didn't like it. I commended him on doing a great job trying it! He had bananas with his meringue instead which he polished off in no time.
The Sunday dinner verdict - Yummy!
