Curried Egg (with a healthy twist)
I grew up with curried egg...my nan used to scoop out the yolk, add a little mayo, curry it and then refill the whites. For special occasions she'd pipe them so they looked gorgeous. My kids also love curried egg. They love it in a sandwich with lettuce for lunch or on toast for breakfast. As I'm always exploring ways to increase nourishment, so adding the avocado is my little twist on the ...
Pizza Subs
These Pizza Subs are a really quick and easy to make snack or lunchbox main that my kids absolutely love. I find by adding the toppings to a good quality sourdough, it's more filling than thin pizza bases for my two big kids. However, you can always use these toppings on pita or flat bread bases for a quick, more traditional pizza too. I find the four rolls does them for one afternoon tea and ...

Apple Crumble Cake
We're right on the cusp of shifting from winter to new season summer produce. Every year, I find it's about now that the once crisp, bursting with flavour apples I've been buying are just not doing it for me. Some just don't have the flavour, others are floury and a bit gross. But I never throw them, I just re-invent them like I've done here with this Apple Crumble Cake. Truth is, once cooked and ...
Healthy Salted Caramel Popcorn
One of the quickest and easiest snacks to make your kids, this Healthy Salted Caramel Popcorn is a little bit dangerous! I literally struggle to stop eating it, it's so moorish. Store bought popcorn is generally loaded with dangerous vegetable oils and franken-ingredients, let alone truck loads of sugar. My Salted Caramel Popcorn certainly doesn't lack in taste, your kids will love it and it's a ...

Middle Eastern is a firm favourite and this Lamb Kefta is based on one we like to order at a lovely restaurant nearby. I've made this to feed a crowd, or, it does us for two meals (and the kids lunchbox too). One night I serve ...
