Last year we got hooked on Celebrity Masterchef - who knew that celebrities COULD cook, and well.
Right at the start of the show, I think maybe episode 1, one of the celebrities cooked a meatball dish that looked family friendly and delicious. Her secret ingredient was ricotta, an ingredient that I've not really used before.
I don't know about you, but I find it hard to ensure that my kids get the right daily dose of nutrients from the sometimes limited food that they WILL eat. So when I have the opportunity to "hide" goodness within a dish I seize it.
I knew if I told my kids, and probably my husband, we were having ricotta for dinner they would run a mile, but I knew that if I told them we were having meatballs they would be at the table within a flash.
So I tried it, I secretly added ricotta to my meatballs and they tasted moist and delicious and the kids were none the wiser. Win/Win.

So give them a try and let me know how you go.
