Recipe: Beef Burritos

Red meat has had nothing but bad press over the last decade or so. We are repeatedly warned that it is bad for us and we should avoid it, but did you know that red meat eaten as part of a balanced diet is actually good for us? It is packed full of nutrients which are required for healthy development for our babies and toddlers, from iron to zinc, potassium and B vitamins.

Carbonara for Toddlers | Carbonara Recipe for Kids

I am always looking to craft meals with ingredients I already have in my fridge and cupboards. There’s nothing worse than wanting to make something yummy and finding you need to run out to the supermarket to grab a few essential ingredients. This carbonara for toddlers uses greek yoghurt: something I always have in; chorizo, another staple in our fridge, and spinach (although this can easily be switched for finely grated courgettes). My favourite part of this carbonara recipe for kids? It can be knocked up in about fifteen minutes, making it an idea lunch or quick supper if, like me, you are a working mum who doesn’t get in until late.
