We all suffer the occasional brain freeze when we just can’t think of any to cook for the family. Here is my list of more than 50 go to meals for our family. They are mostly very straight forward to make from scratch at home and don’t require lots of time or any exotic ingredients….. a ...
No pudding until you have eaten your dinner! I think almost every parent in the land must have uttered these works at some point. It is often used when other forms of encouragement, coercing and the general battle of wills has reached that ‘all in’ stage. Kids don’t even need to be what some would ...
Teenagers…. We don’t have the pleasure of them living in our home yet but having two young kids it is (hopefully) an unavoidable inevitability! When parents are in that situation, how do we best feed these stroppy lodgers? We want to feed them organic eggs with avocado, smoked salmon and kale for breakfast… they want ...
We all run out of snack ideas for our kids from time to time, and can occasionally be found staring into the cupboard trying to convince ourselves that this isn’t the fourth day in a row that we have fed them chocolate Hobnobs in that tricky hour before dinner. There’s nothing wrong with a Hobnob ...
I don’t know what it is specifically about spaghetti bolognaise but for some reason kids love it. It seems to be on the favourites list of every child and is a “go to” meal for most parents. To be honest, I love it too but even with some modern day modifications (adding chorizo, serving with ...

Eggs are a big thing in our house. Eggs are our breakfast of champions. That was apart from our four year old, he wouldn’t touch them. We had tried everything. We had negotiated, we had asked nicely, we had got frustrated and asked not so nicely. We had explained the health benefits of all that ...
I find it hard to be healthy. It is little consolation but deep down inside I know that it is not my fault. I believe that it has never been harder to get fit or to stay fit. We are all ‘busy’. It is a common answer to the broad question of “how are you?”…. ...
Given the recent success story of our 4 year old converting to eating eggs (http://progressivefamilyfood.com/index.php/2016/05/13/he-eats-eggs-its-a-miracle-a-change-in-fussy-eating-and-it-was-none-of-our-doing/) I have been looking into other ways to broaden his palate. The catalyst for his conversion to eggs was largely due to following the crowd and the excitement of collecting his own egg from a chicken coup. None of the ...
