VEGETARIAN FAMILY FOOD - MY MISSION TO GET MY KIDS TO EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEG
What better way to celebrate the official start of autumn than with a sweet pumpkin treat like these vegan pumpkin muffins? The crispy streusel topping contrasts perfectly with the moist muffins. Did I mention that they’re egg free and dairy free so suitable for vegans? Oh, and nut free as well, so they’ll definitely be…
How can you get a picky eater to eat vegetables in their packed lunch? Bake with them! These sweet potato and orange oaty cookies are ridiculously easy to make, totally moreish and delicious, free from refined sugar, suitable for vegans, are nut free and freeze well. They’re my new favourite bake. All you have to…
Every bite of these delicious carrot cake energy balls is packed full of flavour. I’ve made them nut free so that I can include them in my son’s lunchbox as his school has a nut free policy. They’re also a brilliant hidden vegetable recipe for picky eaters. Nothing can make my son eat an undisguised…
Are you struggling at home with a child who is a fussy eater? Refusing to eat vegetables is pretty common and in my experience there’s no easy way to get a child to eat their veggies if they don’t want to. However, don’t give up hope. Children’s nutritionist Simone Emery from Play with Food* has…
If you follow me over on Instagram you’ll know that I’ve been sharing lunchbox photos every day since term began last week. My son has just started Year 3. Here in the UK kids get a free hot meal at lunch time until they finish Year 2. We could pay for him to have a…
The Museum of London Docklands has long been one of our favourite family days out but we’ve never visited the restaurant there until now.

These cauliflower macaroni cheese muffins are perfect for lunchboxes. They can be eaten hot or cold and freeze well, just take them out of the freezer the night before and they’ll be ready by lunchtime. Plus, with a portion of hidden veg they’re a great choice for picky eaters. Getting a portion of veg into…
Adding extra portions of vegetables to my food is nothing new to me. With a seven year old who eats no fresh fruit and vegetables I’d say that hidden vegetable recipes are pretty essential around here. Hey, I started a whole blog around the idea after all. So when I saw that Kate Hackworthy had…
Bill’s restaurants are great for families. They’re a great choice for a kid friendly restaurant in London and have an increasing number of branches all over the UK. Back in the day before the Sneaky Veg kids were born one of my all-time favourite things to do was get the train down to Brighton with my…
A cauliflower smoothie? Have I finally taken this sneaky veg malarky too far? Actually I’m not alone. It turns out that cauliflower smoothies are a “thing” at the moment and I say why not? It’s not that different to including kale or spinach in a smoothie after all and my kids are much more likely…
