With the price of just about everything on the rise, the cost of family meals has been shooting up.
And with kids it can sometimes be tricky finding the things they'll actually eat, let alone something the whole family will eat. But in my house there are certain failsafe dishes I know will get lapped up.
Meaning my time, and most importantly my money, isn't going to waste. While we've enjoyed some of them countless times over the years - I think my kids were about three when I introduced them to a mild chilli - others are relatively new to our teatime routine

.But without fail they get eaten up by us all. This week I set out to buy the ingredients for all five meals from Aldi, whose website inspired a couple of the dishes, to see exactly how they priced up - and my bill came in at a rather impressive £26.73.
The only extras you need are salt, pepper and a bit of oil, which most of us have in the cupboard, and a sauce of your choice to have with the sausage tray bake if you wish.
They're not particularly elaborate meals, three of them have just four ingredients, but as a busy mum who works full-time I like to keep it as simple as possible in the kitchen.
The easiest by far is the pasta dish and we have it that often that my son's friend now calls it 'Emma's pasta', but we're not bored of it yet. It's nice with smoked salmon too, but with only two out of four of us liking salmon, it's often not worth the added cost of at least £3 a pack.
I think you'll agree that £26.73 is pretty reasonable for five substantial meals - and that's with buying the likes of chili powder and paprika that you wouldn't need to shell out for each time.
And there's some
