I love having little helpers in the kitchen. My advice...prepare something with few ingredients, minimal prep and a short cooking time. Patience is a virtue. We used a choc chunk cookies mix by @thecleantreatsfactory which only required two additional ingredients. #wholestart #wholefood #wholefoods #cookingwithkids #cookies

Books are a great way of building positive associations with various things including vegetables! My son loves this book, it’s quirky and silly and makes vegetables fun.

Loved these 5 tips by @wholesome_child on packing a healthier lunch box. These were included in an interesting article on ABC.net.au, link in my bio. 1. Multi-tasking meals - Send the kids to school with what you’ve had for dinner is her biggest tip. 2. Increase variety - Change it up, so kids don’t get used to eating the same thing every day. 3. Get the kids involved - Making them a part of packing their lunch and getting them to come up with ideas helps increase the amount of things they will eat. 4. Have healthy staples on hand – Spend a couple of hours shopping and preparing food on the weekend, making sure some simple staples are prepared and ready to go (hummus, tuna and mayonnaise, chopped carrots and cucumbers, roasted chickpeas and boiled eggs) in the fridge to take the pressure off. 5. Read the labels - Avoid numbers and food colourings wherever possible — anything that is not food. 📷 thanks to @wholesome_child

Schools back! With Term 1 in full swing, trying to keep lunchboxes interesting but simple. My first time making these brain boosting salmon and kale egg muffins, so not sure how they will be received. I will put one in Master J’s lunch box tomorrow, so will let you know what comes back. 6 eggs 1 cup kale (I put 1/2 cup to start) 1 spring onion 1/2 yellow capsicum chopped 1 small can tinned Salmon (I put 1/2 can to start) 1 tbsp nutritional yeast Salt Lemon Sauté kale, spring onions in coconut oil until softened. Mix all ingredients together, pour into 6 muffin moulds and put in oven at 160C for 15-20mins until cooked. Recipe thanks to @paradigm_shift_nutrition

Keep lunches simple during the school holidays. After a morning at the beach we love throwing together a simple share platter. This allows the kids to pick and choose what they feel like and eat as much as they need. Today’s platter: baby cucumbers, baby tomatoes, tuna patties, dolmades, hummus and pickles. #summer #shareplates #shareplatter #wholestart #wholefoods #wholefood #schoolholidays

Get into the festive spirit! This antipasto christmas tree is perfect for entertaining big and little kids. A novel way to get the whole family involved in the kitchen. Start off with a large board or platter and start assembling. There is no set recipe for this one, be creative! I would suggest combining a few ingredients you know your little ones will eat along with some new ones for them to try. If you are entertaining over the coming weeks, give it a go! We would love to see your creations #wholestart #antipastoxmastree #antipasto #wholefoodfamily #wholefood #entertaining #holidayseason #christmas
