It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut with cooking, especially if you have kids who are a bit picky with their eating.

Once you find a few recipes that you and your family like, then you tend to stick to them week in, week out!

The saying is that you also eat with your eyes, so making food look good is half the battle to getting your kids to eat. I have found 50 healthy savoury and sweet nibbles that are not too complicated and look absolutely scrumptious. Some are simply presenting ingredients in a different way to entice those fussy eaters, others are sneaking a variety of fruit and veggies into foods that kids already love. There are lots of recipes that adults will love too as I believe it’s so important to sit down with your kids and share meals with them. Plus, it’s a lot easier to cook up one meal for the entire family than separate ones for the kids.

You can serve some of these just as a snack or for finger food at a party. Others, you can pair with other foods to create new main meal ideas. You can even make a big batch of the savoury items and freeze them for mid-week meals or as school lunchbox items. You can add more fruits and vegetables or replace them with ones your family like and get the kids to help prepare these snacks. The possibilities are endless once you have a few ideas to kickstart your creativity in the kitchen!
