French toast sticks

French toast sticks I’m bouncing out of my socks about this recipe. It rocks on so many levels! And it is not cooked like your usual French toast so the texture is totally different. 1. It ticks boxes for many fussy eaters2. It’s simple3. It’s quick4. It’s nutritious 5. It uses basic ingredients6. It’s crunchy

Meat-free ‘meatballs’

Meat-free ‘meatball’ Mince, like Vegemite is quite polarising. Some fussy eaters love it and others do not. Unfortunately, mince makes up a lot of simple, budget-friendly family meals. This week one of the recipes in our fussy-friendly Meals Mapped Out menu (link here to see what this is all about: https://theconfidenteater.com/meals-mapped-out-weekly-plans/ ) was pork meatballs.

Cheese +

Cheese + This is less recipe and more food concept! I saw a recipe for caremelised onions, apple and cheese cooked on pastry and it got me thinking. I tried sauteed onion, apple and cheese and boy did it work well. But for fussy eaters, I pared it back to apple and cheese. Apple and

Crispy carrots

Crispy carrots I am ALWAYS on a mission to make fruit and vegetables rock, particularly for fussy eaters who may find the eating process more difficult than others. These carrots tick one of the major boxes for many fussy eaters, they are crispy. They can also be salty. It’s possible to make them sweet. They

Berry bagel

Berry bagels I made this with cranberries – which I wouldn’t advise as they were quite bitter 😊 However, the concept is excellent! The bagels themselves were delicious and with either a sweeter berry or even raisins or dates they would be amazing. Quick and simple, virtually no kneading and take 25 mins from start

Protein Boost Bark This is admittedly a little left of centre but surprisingly good!I am always looking for good ways to boost nutrients for children and although protein is rarely lacking in diets it’s great for helping children feel fuller for longer. The bark takes minutes to prepare and is perfect for a snack, dessert

Yoghurt drink

Yoghurt drink I believe this ticks a lot of boxes for fussy eaters, bear with me! 1. Drinking is often easier for children who struggle with eating than food. 2. Yoghurt is a good source of protein. 3. Yoghurt is beneficial for gut health (particularly the good quality ones). 4. It’s like having a pouch,

Pizza zucchini strips

Pizza zucchini strips Zucchini/courgette can be a bit of a tough sell for many children, particularly texturally. My boys can mostly take it or leave it, but this is one of the ways that they find it more pleasurable. By cooking for longer, you can also change the texture so it’s less ‘wet’ and more
