One thing our 4 youngest children like to do is help with cooking a family meal.  Whether they eat it after it is cooked, is another matter 😆

Sometimes they start eating the ingredients before we have finished cooking!  Having the children help with the cooking is a simple way to spend more time with them.  They also learn a bit about the fundamentals of cooking a meal from following instructions from an easy to understand recipe card.

We order a box of four weekday evening family meals from Gousto.  They are reasonably priced and take away the hassle of having to think about what to cook everyday let alone go out and buy the ingredients.   

All of the ingredients are delivered fresh every week straight to your door and in the exact portions needed for the meal being cooked.  As a busy parent with 7 mouths to feed every evening, it’s so easy to fall into a trap of cooking similar meals everyday which are likely to be convenient and unhealthy.
