Clean Eating with Kids Family Meal Plan #7.
This must be one of the most shared meal plans on my site. And for good reason too. It’s healthy, fussy kid friendly and delicious!!
The Kids have a week off school and they are eating everything in sight. I was warned about the ‘teenage boy appetite’ thing, but seeing it in action is mind blowing.
The weather has been a little crappy too, so it’s hard to tell whether the kids are eating out of boredom or because they are genuinely hungry.
Either way, my meal planning has been seriously messed up. I open the pantry to find that random, ‘super vital for the recipe’ ingredients have simply vanished.
Last night I ended up making a DIY pasta sauce because the two jars of pasta sauce I had planned to use had been devoured in a late night snack attack. Maybe I should be happy that at least he knows how to cook pasta?

- I cook from scratch as much as I can but try and keep prep time to a minimum (preferably under 30 minutes).
MONDAY
Cheesy Garlic Roasted Potatoes
I’m a bit obsessed with these right now. Potatoes have made a big comeback in our home ever since I figured out how to make baked potatoes in the oven. Serve them with a simple salad, homemade salsa and a dollop of sour cream for a tasty Meat free dinner.

TUESDAY
Healthy 15 minute Roasted Chicken and Vegetable
A really easy tray bake meal that is a regular in our home. I like to spice it using a chilli flakes, but if your kids are still little, then stick to the Italian Seasoning. Serve with a side of Brown Basmati rice if you need to bulk it up a bit more.
You can swap out any vegetables, but this may effect cooking time. I par cook pumpkin and sweet potato before oven baking to make sure everything cooks through at the same time.

WEDNESDAY
Slow Cooker Butternut Soup
Wednesday is a blah day for me. For some reason, middle of the week blues tend to kick in so I try and plan ahead by making a simple slow cooker midweek meal.
It means less prep time and a more relaxed evening with my family. This week it’s a family favorite – butternut soup. I like to serve it with some hot buttered wholewheat toast.
This is a recipe that needs to be blended before serving. It creates a thick, smooth, creamy texture that I haven’t been able to get by simply mashing. Not sure why – just one if those things. I use a stick blender so I can whiz it up without transferring to a blender, but the result is the same.

THURSDAY
Clean Eating Chicken Enchiladas
You can use wholewheat tortillas for this recipe and the kids won’t even notice. You can make the entire thing from scratch including the tortillas (try this two ingredient tortilla recipe). It’s super easy to make and tastes better than any supermarket option every time.

FRIDAY
Creamy Chicken and Cauliflowerrice casserole
You can make this recipe using a standard rotisserie chicken to save some time. Most weeks I roast two chickens. One I use as a roast and the other gets shredded for sandwiches and meals like this.

SATURDAY
Mexican Stuffed Peppers
I’ve been intending to make these for ages, but red peppers have been super pricey. This week they will be on sale at our store (just checked the Grocery mailer). Yay!! I’m going to make two versions – this mexican stuffed pepper and then these Fajita Chicken Peppers (because they look amazing).

SUNDAY
Beef Pot Roast, Potatoes, Veg & Gravy
Tender beef slices, soft baked potatoes and a truck load of gravy. The enthusiasm I get from the family when I serve up this meal is unparalleled. It’s a definite crowd pleaser. Remember… keep a couple slices aside for next day sandwiches too.

Clean Eating Breakfasts To Try This Week
Creamy Oats
Bring 1/2 cup of wholegrain oats, 1 cup of water and one cup of milk to the boil. Turn down and simmer for 5 – 8 minutes until thick. Serve with a dollop of butter, honey and cinnamon. Optional: sprinkle with nuts or banana slices.
Easy (three ingredient) Scones with whipped cream and strawberry jam
I like to make up some bags filled with fruit and keep them in the freezer so the kids can simply add to the blender with a little milk and water. This breakfast takes all of 1 minute to make so perfect for days when the alarm doesn’t go off.

Boiled Eggs and Wholegrain Toast
Our hens on form at the moment. They went on strike for a couple of weeks after a feral cat got into the hen house, but now that their spot has been secured fort knox style, they are laying like crazy. Eggs are featuring heavily on the menu this week! We tend to choose either basic boiled eggs on toast or scrambled eggs if we are in a big hurry.
I’m loving these little bird egg cups (on my Want list)
Baking
Crispy Oat and Coconut Biscuits
This is one of my favorite biscuits to make. Like. Ever! Only thing I can say about these: Make a double batch every single time!
