3 Lunchbox Ideas (That Happen to Be GF + DF)
|
Hello! This week I've got three lunchbox ideas that have a little bonus - they're all gluten and dairy free. Even if allergies aren't something you need to navigate, they're still easy, family-friendly recipes worth adding to the lunchbox rotation. We've got something savoury, something chocolatey, and something you don't even need to turn the oven on for. π Salmon PattiesThese little salmon patties are ready in under 20 minutes and are just as good cold as they are warm, which makes them a really handy lunchbox option. They're made with canned salmon, carrot and ground almonds, and are naturally gluten and dairy free. π Get the Salmon Patties recipe hereβ
πͺ Chocolate Chip Chickpea CookiesYes, there really are chickpeas hiding in these chocolate chip cookies! They're soft, chocolatey and made without wheat, dairy, eggs or nuts - so they're a useful recipe to have up your sleeve when you're catering for different dietary needs. And most importantly, my kids genuinely love them. π Get the Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies recipe hereβ
π« Chocolate Bliss BallsFive ingredients, two steps and no baking required - that's my kind of Sunday prep. These chocolate bliss balls are made with sunflower seeds, dates, raisins, cocoa and coconut oil. They're nut, dairy, egg and gluten free, and easy to stash in the freezer ready for future lunchboxes. π Get the Chocolate Bliss Balls recipe hereβ
Hopefully there's something here to pop into next week's lunchboxes - whether you need gluten and dairy free ideas or simply want something different in the rotation. And remember, you don't need to make all three. One batch in the freezer is still a win! Stacey |

Hello! This week's Midweek Meals are for those evenings when you need dinner to happen fairly quickly. Three different dinners, three different flavours - and no need to spend half the evening in the kitchen. π Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry This one is a firm favourite with all four of my kids - the sweet little pieces of pineapple definitely help! It's bright, colourful and really flexible when it comes to the veggies. Use whatever you have in the fridge or freezer, then serve it with rice or...
Hello! Spring is here, and Iβm always keen for a few fresh ideas to shake up the lunchbox routine. So here are three easy options for the week ahead - a little bit savoury, a little bit crunchy, and all nice and simple. π₯¦ Broccoli Bites A handy little savoury option for lunchboxes, snacks or those hungry-after-school moments. Theyβre a nice change when you feel like youβve packed one too many sandwiches lately. π Get the Broccoli Bites recipe here MAKE MY BROCCOLI BITES! π§ Crunchy Garlic...
Hello! If your dinner rotation is starting to feel a little too... rotational, this week's Midweek Meals are for you. I've picked three family dinners with plenty of flavour, but nothing too complicated or adventurous for a Wednesday night. π Best Butter Chicken This is my take on a family-friendly butter chicken - mild, creamy and made from scratch, with a little extra veggie goodness from grated carrot. You can adjust the chilli depending on your family, then put some rice, naan, yoghurt...
