Hormones are kicking in, they have growth spurts and they might have bad skin.
They will be drawn to fast food when they are out with their friends.
Not a lot we can do about that BUT here is a quick and easy recipe you can cook for a family meal. It ticks all the boxes for food they should be eating and its good for you too, bonus!
