    Quesadillas are nice, just two flour tortillas, put a bit of grated cheese on one, then ham or whatever else, then make a sandwich with the other. Dry fry in a pan until cheese melts and cut into wedges with a pizza wheel.

    My eldest loves this.

    Or pitta pockets, just warm and slice open. And have them prep different fillings. Maybe set them a target of trying one new thing each week?

  • Pitta Bread Pizzas in the microwave (the tomato sauce is a mixture of ketchup and tomato puree - nice and sweet and most kids like it) , egg fried rice,with pre cooked rice, nice and easy again. Apple tart on a puff pastry/shortcrust pastry base, scones both sweet and cheese, fruit fool using custard and stewed fruit, baked alaska using a slice of swiss roll and a scoop of ice cream, banana choc ices (freeze halves of bananas then coat in melted chocolate which sets instantly), fruit skewers,(fresh fruit pieces threaded on a skewer then chocolate coated). Hope this helps all easy and yummy!!!

    Own fish fingers. Defrost blocks of frozen fish (the basic value stuff) It's already blocked and de-skined. Cut up into strips, dip in egg and then breadcrumbs. Fry off.

    You could use chicken pieces too. My youngest is 3 and loves to make these.

    Also mini quiches. Just some pastry cut with scone cutter into rounds. line a bun tin with eat round, fill with grated cheese and ham (or filling of choice) then top up with beaten egg. I cook on 180, checking after 15 minutes.

    Do you know what? They are really nice done in crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs too. And fun to make. Can do same with chicken goujons,
