I love pea mash, as in blitzing freshly boiled peas with a big knob of butter, garlic, parsley and salt and pepper, very nice with steak and chips!

I have been asked by quite a few kids, my kids bring home for tea, why I make things from scratch can I not afford Iceland or Farmfoods

but these are the kids who live on pizza and frozen chips and have never seen a proper meal cooked from scratch. Makes me feel very sorry for them cos they are really missing out on a good home cooked meal

But then my kids love helping me cook up a storm in the kitchen - my eldest even asked me today if I could bake for the school bake sale for her school trips, apparently the teachers asked her is her mum could make the lovely cakes she made for the nursery!!!

So if you dont hear from me next week you know I have killed myself baking for the school

Shona,

Dont worry about them kids only eating that stuff.

Some of us do grow up and learn to enjoy food

My mother was a terrible cook -- she over cooked and over salted everything.

My parents had me at the doctors all the time as they thought i was suffering eating disorders - and they werent that common in those days.

I remember being about 5 and chewing the food til it was so smalll that i could take a drink of water to wash it down.

I wasnt allowed to leave the table til i had eaten all my food - no waste allowed, it costs money!!!

I sat there for 6 hrs and needed the loo.

Wasnt allowed.

By 8pm (i am thinking it was that time cos it was as Corrie finished) that me dad jumped out his chair, pulled me outta my seat and smacked me arse.

I wanting the loo for the last 4 hrs on his smacking hand.

And i got smacked for that aswell!!!

LOL

Can laugh now

BUT - once i left home and started shopping for myself - of ocurse i lived off micro meals and pot noodles etc at first. But i got very fat very quick and decided to go to weight watchers.

WELL, they wanted me to eat VEG!!!

Feck - that over salted mushy stuff...???

But got myself some cook books and tried lots of veg i have never had before and LOVE it now

I can eat plates of veg now - all sorts.

Still cant do cooked carrots tho

Dont buy packet food, apart from fish fingers as stiill love me fish finger sarnies with red sauce once in a blue moon!!!

LOL nxxxx

oooooooooooooooooooooooooops

i went off on a tangent there.

I meant to say - that kids that eat bad now may appreciate food later.

Bbut even as a poorer family that shopped a QuikSave, we still all sat down at the dinner table TOGETHER to eat.

Ok, i sat there a few hours longer than the rest, but we all started off together, lol

Ohh Debz it must have been a parent thing then cos my parents did the same thing I remember being told loads of times "you know there are starving kids out there who would kill to eat that" I remember thinking give them it then cos I would rather starve than eat this slop!!

When I left home I moved into a sheltered housing type place for teenagers and suddenly the food was enjoyable - ohh wait now I know why Im fat

I have the pickyest husband and youngest daughter in the world (youngest kid eats no meat other than sausages and bacon will not even consider chicken or fish, but I did bargain with her to eat some steak pie at the weekend lol) Steven hates most veg and if it even smells healthy he refuses it!! I have had many an argument with my mother and my mother in law about what I serve my kids, but I am of the opinion if they eat it I will make it even if I have to make seperate meals for Steven and the youngest

Now my eldest there is a mobile dustbin she will eat anything I put down, and like me will try new things.

And the great thing about both my girls is they will pick the home made over the processed guff any day.

I think part of the problem is its too easy just to thow a frozen ready meal in the micro and slap it on the table rather than spend 10 mins putting something together.
