pondering on food

We don’t eat a desperately healthy diet. I’m veggie and dp is carnivorous – you can often find us of an evening with roast veg for me and roast chicken for him. I’d like to cook more, but I’m fairly incapable, and I want to offer both of the children an interesting, varied, balanced home cooked diet. Any and all suggestions on this welcome! Meals I can cope with include baked potatos, broccoli cheese (ds doesn’t like cauliflower and I agree with him!), pizza (although I have been resorting to bought ones, I can and used to make them myself), um that’s about it. While ds was on pureed veg I was doing reasonably well at doing it myself – now that he should be on more varied solid stuff I’m beginning to struggle. So if anyone wants to leave their favourite (really easy to cook) recipe in the comments, I’ll lift them and stick them on a webpage for us all.

What I’m saying is – help!
