Very simple recipe. Parents like it because it’s really quick and kids like it because it’s delicious. Almost everyday I find myself thinking about how to encourage my kids to eat more veggies. These salads are one step closer to my wish. My kids didn’t even noticed chopped chives 🙂 I repeated this recipe several times and both times kids said the same – it’s really good!

Braised green peas with carrots
This recipe looks so simple, but we found it just this year. And it’s already in top of our favourite recipes. Maybe for someone there’s nothing new, but me and my hubby didn’t eat this dish in our childhood, so it’s new for us. Now when we need quick dinner or supper, we braise all frozen vegetables the same way, and always it comes out really very very delicious.
Pasta and tuna salads
This is the first salad with pasta and also with tuna 🙂 Bet it was good, really good 🙂 We already made it for a few times. But next time I’ll put only half portion of celery because we discovered that my hubby doesn’t like it.
Frittata with green beans and tomatoes
Frequently for breakfast we have simply baked eggs because it’s warm, quick and tasty. Even by daughter seeing us eating baked eggs tried and liked them. So now whole family eats baked eggs in the morning 🙂
Smoked chicken breast and broccoli salads
When my mother on the weekend told me about the salads that she tasted at work, I was sceptical. And when she decided to prepare it for us, I was afraid (our taste is very different). But I’m glad that she did it, because we liked it a lot. It’s better to say that grown ups liked it, because my kids didn’t like onion and broccoli. Mayonnaise doesn’t make these salads healthy but for a quick dinner they were very good.
Layered cheese and beetroot salads
Very delicious salads. Sad that photo doesn’t present the real taste.
