3 meals a day
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
I say “ Fresh nachos “ as these aren’t drenched in cheese and sour cream but instead served with a fresh salad and a sprinkle of cheese and yoghurt on the top. Don’t get me wrong, cheesy nachos are delicious but it’s nice to have something just as inviting for the kids doesnt just have … Continued
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
High protein crepes
Full of protein! Versatile! A great base for breakfast, lunch or snack. You can enjoy these with a sweet or savoury topping. I have topped these with a berry and chia jam and yoghurt but you could enjoy them with guacamole, grated cheese, tomato and avocado, and ham. The options are endless. It’s super quick … 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.
Buckwheat seeded crackers
We eat a lot of these in our household. They are perfect alongside cheese, avocado, hummus and pate to name a few. You can flavour them with whatever you choose. I have used dried rosemary, sumac and oregano but you can omit those if you please. Some other delicious additions could be a handful of … Continued
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.
Sushi bowls
This is a definite favourite in our home. We have this for dinner every week without fail. The season determines what vegetables we serve with it and the extra bits and pieces make the dish texturally exciting and extra delicious and nutritious. I have used snow peas and cucumbers now that the weather is warming … Continued
