Believe it or not, I struggle with ideas for meals to cook for my family on most days. Especially food that the kids would like and eat. There’s nothing like spending time in the kitchen to cook and the kids refuse to eat at the end of it. Not a good feeling. So on days I’m struggling to decide, I usually go for one of their favorite food items and create a recipe from it. So this is how this meal idea came about, sausages!

I knew they’d love sausages for dinner. I had some veggies which I bought almost a week ago and I just wanted to use it up before they went off. So thought, “ stir fry it must be then!”. My kids are sometimes funny about veggies but I knew the sausages will lure them to eat and you know what ? It sure did! They didn’t eat all the veggies but at least they ate some and tried Pak Choi. So that was a win. I hope you’ll try this for your family too. It was so delicious.
