The veggies are all blended into the sauce so they won't notice them in there and the sauce is wonderfully creamy just like a mac and cheese.

Mini Chicken Burgers

One food that a lot of picky eaters seem to struggle with is chicken. Serving up chicken in it's breast meat form just won't cut it with my kids!

So I've come up with some recipes to serve chicken in different ways to my fussy eaters like these fun Mini Chicken Burgers.

Chilli Con Carne For Kids

Don't be put off b y the list of ingredients for this one! It's actually super easy to make and is mild enough for kids without compromising on flavour.

As well as having some hidden veggies it also contains some veggies in their whole form.

This is a great approach with picky eaters as it's still giving some exposure to children of vegetables in their whole form.

Creamy Ham & Pea Pasta

This easy pasta recipe is perfect for picky eaters as you can customise the ingredients that you use to suit what they will eat.

Change out the ham for bacon or cooked chicken pieces or swap out the peas for sweetcorn!

Oat Crusted Chicken Goujons

If there is one thing a lot of picky eaters WILL eat, it's chicken nuggets! And there's absolutely nothing wrong with serving your kids chicken nuggets or goujons!

If I'm serving them on a regular basis because I know they will get eaten, then I try to make my own at home so I know that they are pretty healthy.

These oat crusted chicken goujons can also be frozen before cooking, so you can make up a big batch and have them in the freezer ready to cook straight from frozen.

Slow Cooker Ten Hidden Veggie Sauce

Quite often one of the biggest struggles with picky eaters is getting enough veggies into them.

This easy slow cooker sauce packs in TEN hidden veggies and is as easy as putting all the ingredients into the slow cooker and letting it do its thing.

Cheesy Chicken Meatballs

My kids are not big fans of chicken so I'm always trying to find ways to get them to eat it with minimal fuss!

These Chicken Meatballs are great as they present chicken in a way to kids that they might find more appealing.

Waffle Omelettes

Eggs are really good for kids but trying to convince your fussy eaters of that can be difficult!

For some picky eaters, it can be a matter of texture so serving up scrambled eggs or an omelette just won't cut it.

But by changing the texture of the cooked egg, it makes it more appealing to kids.

One Pot Mac & Cheese With Hidden Veggies

If your kids love plain cheesy pasta but aren't so keen on veggies, then this is the recipe for you!

I've created a really easy one pot Mac & Cheese with secret courgette that you can't see or taste. Perfect for the pickiest of eaters!
