Do get into a bit of a rut with your food? It does become really challenging trying to think up meals every single day and we tend to stick with the same things because it’s just easier. Especially if you’re a busy working parent; at the end of the day you want to relax and not have to think about the preparation of fiddly new recipes.

Let’s take it slowly, try to introduce one new food per week. Try not to give your children the same breakfast for more than two days in a row, if you have marmite on toast every morningthey may end up getting addicted to it, and having it for every meal. Then they’ll get sick of it and never want to eat it again.

Have at least four items for breakfast lunch and dinner that you can rotate. Get your kids involved in the cooking and shopping. The advice is not to hide vegetables in their food as they will lose your trust. I think most of us have done that at some time, out of desperation. Wise words from the nutritionists but perhaps in real life we are going to resort to underhand tactics to get those veggies down!

Try changing the way you cook your chicken by using a different sauce. If you love sandwiches, try swapping them for a wrap instead. Small changes can make your food more interesting, and always praise your children for eating different things.

Switch off the tv when you’re eating too. Mealtimes should be family times and can often be the only time that the whole family get to sit with each other and talk. If the tv is on and various other electronic devices are present at the dinner table this can have a negative impact on our quality time together.

Small changes can make a big difference, don’t try and overhaul your complete menu it’s too big a task. One small change a week can bring back your interest in mealtimes and get everybody talking.
