Cooking family food on a budget

In this interview, we spoke with the mother of the budget of two children, Kimberley Saunders cooking healthy food for a family of four living in a densely.

It is difficult, good quality meals for our children to cook when you're on a budget?

No, not really, because eating it depends on how well you know the basics of cooking e. A lot of that has been lost because they do not teach in the schools of our generation and there are people who have things that are cheap to buy, thinkto remember the price tag, which is not healthy or not that actually more expensive than it looks.

If meals means cheap burgers and fries?

No, it does not. You can buy a kilo bag of chips for about an hour and only one or two meals for a family of four, but you need to have burgers and there are a lot of fat in the diet.

What are the alternatives?

You could make a meal hamburger and fries, but fit. It could be a leanTurkey meatballs ground beef at home, put under the grill with green beans and sweet corn. For a family of four, which would be increased by £ 2.50. I'm not saying that the chips do not handle well for the casual. The green beans can be fresh, preserved or frozen, so it is accessible to everyone regardless of budget.

What happens to children who are picky?

I understand that some people say that their children do not eat certain things. It takes a little 'strength and patience to feed a childhealthy. One of the things I was going to say that has kept the children in Africa who have never seen a chip in their lives. If a child is hungry they are for eating.

What advice would you parents?

Start small, start healthy versions of their favorite food. Chicken nuggets, for example. We have chicken breast and made our own. We baked potato instead of chips. Fish fingers turned into balls of tuna. It 's a bit of tuna with a little' egg mixedput bread crumbs on top and cook.

What mothers are under pressure?

The tuna patties are as simple as opening the box and popping under the grill. I know that many mothers are under pressure. Why not invest in a saucepan. You can roast, soups, casseroles. You can also pudding in it.

If we shop in supermarkets or small shops?

Look what you get and what you are in a region. If you have a good market, you havemore convenient to go to the market to get your vegetables. If you have a good butcher to get to know him. If you have any garden space and grow your own vegetables. It 'important that children know where food came from. I know that my children would not touch the tomatoes, until we grew cherry tomatoes in your garden.

What principles should we have in the closet to try to save money?

A good cabinet portfolio tuna would be added to fruits and vegetables without salt. I would likeWe always recommend the egg at hand - another quick meal.

What other suggestions?

A large part of our budget goes for food. I write meal plans so I know what I have to cook. I would go to the supermarket and not even looking at the offers. Can you really a family with a very small budget to feed.
