The kids help in the kitchen by cooking simple meals like French Toast, and the oldest one makes some mince-based meals.
The kids also help around the kitchen by peeling, grating, gathering kai and cutting veges.
Tips
Have some easy meals on hand like supermarket pizza base and add healthy toppings and vegetables – healthier, cheaper and tastier than takeaway pizzas.
Involve the kids in shopping, so you get the healthy food they like and you don’t waste your money.

Evening meals
Evening meals can be a challenge after a long day. Check out these low-cost, quick and easy options.
An easy, healthy milk pudding. Great served with fresh or tinned fruit.
A tasty, healthy and easy-to-make version of a classic family-pleaser. Kids will love helping prepare and put on the toppings.
Delicious one-dish no-fuss cooking at its best!
An oldie but a goodie! Takes a bit of time to prepare, but makes a warm, hearty snack on the run. Plan ahead and make this in the weekend to have ready for lunches or after-school snacks during the week.
A fresh and tasty dish that is great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner! Or make a batch the night before as a lunchbox snack for the next day.
This coleslaw classic is an old favourite. Great for summer BBQs or in sandwiches, wraps or burgers.
Come home to a ready-to-eat meal. Crockpots (or slow cookers) are great for busy people.
