Tuna Pasta Bake

November 9, 2020 | Budget Friendly, Fish & Seafood, Make-ahead Meals, Members only

This Tuna Pasta Bake is another very adaptable family favourite. You can very easily vary the veggies to suit your tastes and fridge supplies.

This Tuna Pasta Bake is a very adaptable family meal. I love having a tasty tuna recipe to go to as it's a sure-fire option when I've forgotten to get meat out the freezer! This recipe could also be considered a Mornay since it has a cheesy white sauce, but there are a heap of vegetable included making it a bit more 'bake-ish'. You can of course very easily vary the quantity and variety of veggies ...

Slow Cooked Beef Ragu

October 12, 2020 | Budget Friendly, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Members only, Red meat, Slow Cooked

This slow cooked Beef Ragu is a delicious, easy meal. I’ve taken the opportunity to add in veggies which can be varied to suit your taste.

This slow cooked Beef Ragu is a delicious, easy meal. My family call it fancy or 'real spag bol' after a trip to Italy when they were little made them experts in Italian cuisine. Interestingly, the main difference between ragu and bolognese is the ratio of meat to sauce. Ragu is a meat-based sauce while the 'ragu alla Bolognese', a regional variation of ragu, has a higher tomato content. Whatever ...

Green Eggs and Ham Pasta Cups

June 1, 2020 | 30 Minute Meals, After School Snacks, Freezable Meals, Healthy Lunchbox, Make-ahead Meals, Members only, Pork, Vegetarian

This Green Eggs and Ham Pasta Cups recipe is a delicious one handed snack with a whole load of nourishment not to mention a whole lot of greens.

This Green Eggs and Ham Pasta Cups recipe is a delicious one handed snack with a whole load of nourishment. Greens are often hard to get kids to accept, so a power pesto like the one below combined with a universally loved food (pasta) is very often enough to convert green skeptics. Throw in a legendary tale like the Dr Suess classic ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ to spark young imaginations and you may be ...

It's super easy to make and using nutritious plant based ingredients, this will surely become a family favourite. Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary requirements. ...

Thyme Mushroom Pasta

April 20, 2020 | 30 Minute Meals, Budget Friendly, Members only, Vegetarian

This Mushroom Thyme Pasta is one of my favourite vegetarian mid-week meals. It’s quick and easy to make and really tasty.

This Mushroom Thyme Pasta is one of my favourite vegetarian mid-week meals. It’s quick and easy to make and really tasty. You can make it with any kind of mushrooms, but I like a mix of shiitake, oyster and field or Swiss brown mushrooms. Really anything you can get your hands on.  During the winter months I try to incorporate mushrooms a couple of times a week as they are a wonderful source ...

Pastitsio

April 8, 2020 | Budget Friendly, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Red meat, Vegetarian

A healthier and lighter take on a Greek classic Pastitsio. Instead of a rich cheesy sauce, it’s topped with a much lighter blend of yoghurt, tahini and parmesan cheese. 

This is my healthy take on a Greek classic, Pastitsio. Instead of a rich cheesy sauce, it’s topped with a much lighter blend of yoghurt, tahini and parmesan cheese.  It can also be made with beef mince if you prefer, but personally prefer to use lamb mince. Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit any specific dietary ...

This One Pot Tuna Tomato Penne is a delicious, healthy really easy to make meal. You don't have to pre-cook the pasta which makes for one less thing to wash up.

Kale Pesto Penne

May 23, 2018 | 30 Minute Meals, Vegetarian

Kale pesto penne - This Kale Pesto Penne utilises both the stems and leaf of the kale in a delicious meal that my whole family loves. It's nourishing vegetarian meal.

Each week I try to rotate the veggies I buy because I really do believe that variety is such a great way to ensure our nutritional needs are met. I also make sure a good part  of what I buy is green and leafy. Leafy green vegetables have more nutrients per calorie than any other food. Forget fancy and expensive ‘super’ foods, leafy greens like kale are as nourishing as it gets. Kale isn't one ...

Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne (to die for)

March 1, 2018 | Budget Friendly, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Vegetarian

Mushroom Lentil Lasagne - This Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne is so delicious and is sure to win over meat lovers and fussy little ones. This is one nutrient and protein rich vegetarian meal (with an option for vegans too). It's perfect family food.

I have SO much thyme in my garden at the moment and even though it is just one of many ingredients in this totally divine Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne, it was what ultimately inspired this dish. I'm constantly experimenting on delicious ways to win over my meat loving family and this is our latest vegetarian favourite so I thought I'd better share it. For about 20 years of my life I was a ...

Turkey and Sage Spaghetti Meatballs

June 1, 2016 | Budget Friendly, Chicken, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals

Turkey bacon and sage meatballs - These Turkey and Sage Spaghetti Meatballs are a nutritionally balanced, easy to make delicious meal for the whole family. Gluten and dairy free.

So here we have my twist on Jamie Olivers's second recipe 'to save your life' - a Classic Tomato Spaghetti. It's tough to mess with a classic but the Naturopath in me is screaming 'add protein and vegetables' to make this simple staple, nutritionally complete! So that's exactly what I did and not only is this one nourishing meal, it's also absolutely delicious and really very quick and simple to ...

Smoked Salmon, Pea and Broccoli Pasta

September 16, 2015 | 30 Minute Meals, Fish & Seafood

Salmon pea broccoli pasta

We tend not to eat a heap of pasta, but it does make for a really fast meal occasionally. So it's handy to have a few easy, delicious flavour combos like this lemony, smoked salmon, pea and broccoli recipe to call on. This recipe came about after I bought some hot smoked salmon from our local farmers market (it's also available in supermarkets), which I generally keep in the fridge to whip up ...

You know how much I love versatility in a meal? Well this covers many bases; it can become a hearty soup, filling salad or delicious pasta sauce! It's a wonderful, delicious way to 'hide' vegetables from kids.  Here's how… Baked vegetables, ...

As usual, I have included a few variations, just to demonstrate its versatility as well as showing you ways to boost its nutritional value. Healthy Bolognese can be vegetarian, gluten free or grain free; for breakfast or baked - the result is many meals in one. This is a simple meal where ...
