Making cooking fun
It’s a damp, grey Saturday morning. Not even the kids fancy going outdoors today and while Will is happy playing with his Lego Jess and Vic are bored. Since starting this blog I’ve been making more of an effort to get all the children involved in cooking they are really enjoying it. Often one of … Continue reading Fabulous flapjacks
This was the surprise hit of my meal prep experiment. I’ve cooked it for myself in the past but haven’t given it to the kids because I didn’t think they liked chickpeas! Last weekend I sat with them and ate this meal while the rest of the family ate shepherd’s pie (although I’m happy to … Continue reading Chickpea and spinach curry
So yesterday afternoon I set aside two hours to do as much meal preparation for the week as I could.

This was Friday … Continue reading Beef burgers and sweet potato mash

Meal plan I’ve always planned my meals a week in advance. It means that I don’t have to come up with ideas on busy week … Continue reading How to be organised
My eldest three love this tart (and so do I!). My two year old, Sophie, point-blank refused to try it but maybe she’ll change her mind next time… The picture is of my practice run for this recipe. I was planning on making this again, cutting the pastry neatly around the top of the tin, … Continue reading Salmon tart
