Kid-Friendly Weekly Meal Plan
Cooking for children is easier with familiar formats (pasta, wraps, mini pizzas) that quietly include vegetables. Every dinner here works for the whole family, so you only cook once.

Tips for this week
- Blend vegetables (carrot, courgette, peppers) into tomato sauces.
- Let kids build their own tacos, pizzas or wraps: they eat more of what they assemble.
- Offer a new food alongside a familiar one, without pressure.
- Keep spices mild in the pot and add heat at the table for adults.

How do I get picky eaters to eat vegetables?
Hide them in sauces, serve them raw as sticks with dips, involve kids in cooking and offer them repeatedly without pressure.
Can toddlers eat these meals?
Most can be adapted: cut food into suitable sizes, avoid added salt and whole nuts, and check with your paediatrician for very young children.
How can I make school lunches easier?
Cook extra dinner for lunch boxes and keep a list of quick options like wraps, pasta salad and cheese with crackers.
