Feed the kids exactly what you and your family eat. You can double up on your meals and freeze leftovers for a couple of days of daycare meals too. Do this for a week and you will likely have enough meals prepped for a couple of weeks. If you want to batch cook, which I do, then Pinterest is a great resource, or even google freezer cooking on a budget and that way you can have everything broken down for you. Grocery lists, prepping, and packaging for freezing.

Kids develop bad eating habits, for the most part, because they have been allowed to. There are always exceptions to the rules, but even a kid who eats bad and is fussy at home, will more than likely eat better at daycare if there is an expectation set and the adult doesn't waiver. My kids ate chilli and rice today and I mixed both together just so it was easier to get on and stay on the forks and spoons. When I make soup, I blend it and serve it in open cups. Those are my kind of methods for making meals kid-friendly, its more about making it easier to manage and manipulate when hand mouth coordination isn't the best, rather than giving them the opportunity to turn down a new food in favour of something they would prefer. That is when I see things becoming a problem.

Meals for the rest of this week are Butter chicken and rice with naan, leek and potato soup, roast chicken dinner with the trimmings and stuffed peppers with spicy sausage meat. I batch cook and freeze everything, that way I don't have to cook for them everyday and reheating is a breeze in the slow cooker, electric pressure cooker or in foil trays in the oven.
