I hope I’m not the only mom who struggles to get veggies into her little children’s bodies! Before I had kids, I thought that my kids would eat chicken, avo & quinoa salads by the age of 3 but alas, they discovered fruit and chocolate croissants before that! And they all like and dislike different things at different times of the day it seems! Argh. I compromise by sneaking veggies into their meals – mac and cheese is a perfect dish for this covert operation! I end up making a huge pot and freezing it in portions.

I love Caesar salad but have a love-hate relationship with eggs, so I make mine without. There is enough egg in the mayonnaise, so no need to add more according to me! Do yourself a favour and make your own mayonnaise. It’s so quick and simple, you will never buy the (genetically modified, yes, you read right) stuff they call mayonnaise from the shop again! I use a sous vide for the first cook of the chicken but poaching it in liquid is just as good and ensures that the chicken doesn’t dry out before baking it in the oven.

These biscuits taste almost exactly like the ones from Woolies that my husband use to devour by the packet, except that they are not as sweet. It’s taken many a flop until my husband regarded them as worthy of having seconds! What a stressful exercise!

Not only are they easy to make, but they are also a great source of energy and fiber to keep your little ones going throughout the day.
