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.

A hearty winter meal. Casseroles are great because you can use cheaper cuts of meat and the slow cooking helps make the meat tender. Adding beans or lentils helps make the meat go further.
