Welcome to Easy Family Meals!
We are a couple home cooks that love food, love cooking, love trying new recipes, however found it extremely difficult to cook something that us parents and our kids both enjoyed. Most parents out there know exactly what we are talking about,
- The daily return of a full lunch box..
- The nightly battle of cooking a dinner that will be eaten (and enjoyed) by everyone in the house..
- The struggles of healthy eating when it seems like only chicken nuggets and fries are hitting the dinner table..
Yeh, we hear you!
Over the last three years, we have tried hundreds of different recipes that revealed to us some winning recipes, some tantrum inducing ones, and some others that allowed us to spend less time and money in the kitchen, to spend with our family.
In early 2020, during the first wave of lockdowns, we started sharing and cooking some of these recipes with family, friends and mothers groups. What we found was these recipes weren’t just a winner in our house, they were LIFE CHANGING in others. After hearing,
“I can’t believe that my kids will actually eat real food that hasn’t been deep fried or come out of a packet”
dozens of times, we decided to share the tips, tricks and recipes we have learnt with other families.
Our goal is to help parents provide the best quality meals for their little ones without sacrificing time, money and flavour!
You don’t have to be a whiz in the kitchen… All our recipes are super easy.
You don’t need a commercial kitchen or loads of appliances… We try to make the clean up as easy as possible by using as little dishes, pans and utensils as possible (nobody got time for that!).
You don’t need to be a millionaire… We are very frugal minded and aim to have family meals dished up for well below $5 per head.
You don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen… Like my kids, my attention span lasts at most 30 minutes. Most our recipes are ready in that timeframe, otherwise our house would have ended up eating McDonalds takeaway most nights if it took too long.
If you are liking what we are cooking so far, then get in the kitchen, give the easy family recipes a crack and start enjoying the mealtime ritual again! LETS START COOKING SOME FAMILY FRIENDLY RECIPES
