We make a super cheap pasta sauce but it'll only work for you if your bro&sis don't count tinned tomatoes as veggies?

Heat the tomatoes and keep them simmering to reduce the liquid
Chuck in whatever you want - mushrooms, ham, cheese, basil, paprika, peppers, sweetcorn.... anything really.

Mix it in with the cooked pasta and eat it.

I was gonna say sumthin pretty similar... Just cook ur pasta (bows or the penne to make it interesting ) then put the tinned tomotoes ova it (crushed tomatoes). u can add in bacon if u want.. & then put parmasen cheese on the top.. its quick and easy for lunch or tea if u havne't got much time & its pretty filling.

Also i know potatoes r a veggie but do they eat potato?? my mum makes a delicious potato soup. I'm not sure of the exact recipe, but i'll ask her it for u if u want it. Its just potatoes, bacon, sum eshallots, & like corn flour or sumthin else in there and i know she puts sumthin else in it to taste. Then she makes fresh bread and its the perfect meal for a winters nite. Warms u up heaps. I'll send her an email today to ask for the recipe and i'l post it as soon as i get it.

I'm not sure how fatty exactly these are: but ur traditional spag. bog. add mixed vegies into the mince and u can't taste it cuz of the sauce thru it. My mum does that all the time cuz then we still get our vegies or for a variation, she makes gravy to put thru the mince instead of pasta sauce (cuz she cna't eat pasta or the sauce )

Another thing - again its potato so i hope ur bro and sis like potato . Make jacket potatoes.

Just clean the dirt off fairly large potatoes. Pierce the skin with a fork a few times all ova the potato and put them in the microwave for about 5mins or until the middle is soft. (cover it with a piece of paper towel too). Then put it on the plate and cut an + in the top of it almost all the way down but not right thru the skin or bottom of potato. Then put sum {cooked}diced bacon & onion on it, then sum cheddar or parmasan cheese on top and sour cream. (u & ur mum can make it low fat cheese or cream & serve it with sum salad to make it healthier )

the best way to get kids to eat vegis is raw with dip its amazing what kids will eat if they can dip it. also a cheese sauce is good too
