Chicken satay with rice and quinoa
Chicken on a stick is sure to be a hit with the kids. However if you are feeling uncomfortable with using skewers for your little ones, you can simply marinate the chicken as is without using skewers. Its just as delicious.

Quinoa, feta and beetroot patties with flatbreads and herbed yoghurt
These patties are very moorish, hearty, protein packed and the kids will love them. If you don’t have the time to make the flat breads you could use bread rolls and turn them into burgers.The patties are great for lunchboxes on their own and freeze well if you want to make a big batch.
Fresh Nachos with hemp seed guacamole

Carrot, almond, fig and coconut loaf
This deliciously light and moist loaf is a great snack for the whole family. I have baked this a number of times now. I often make two at once as it freezes well. Its delicious warmed up or toasted. You could add dried apricots or dates to replace the figs if you fancy.
Chicken and cashew curry
This curry is family friendly. It’s wonderfully sweet and creamy. I recommend adding a little fresh chilli to the top if you enjoy that. You can serve it with whatever fresh vegetables you like. Crunchy ones really compliment this dish like snow peas or asian greens. A serving of cucumber on the side is also … Continued
Potato and Cannellini bake
A more nutritious take on a potato bake that the whole family will enjoy. This vegetarian meal is rich in protein and very satisfying. Simply serve it with a fresh salad.
Beetroot and feta Risotto
Pink rice with cheese on the top!! The kids will love it!!! Beetroots are growing beautifully at this time of year and when they are roasted they are so wonderfully sweet in this risotto. I’ll be making this again during these spring months. A fresh salad is also the perfect accompaniment.
