Midweek Meals: Dinner, But Make It Fun
|
Hello! Midweek dinners don't always need to be sensible casseroles and one-pot wonders. Sometimes it's nice to put something on the table that's just a bit more fun to eat - especially when everyone can get involved and make dinner their own. So this week's Midweek Meals are colourful, family-friendly and a little more playful. ๐ฎ Taco BarThis is one of my favourite ways to do family dinner. Put a selection of taco fillings and toppings on the table, then let everyone decide what โ and how much โ goes on their plate. It's relaxed, it's easy to adapt to different preferences, and leftovers from other meals can absolutely become taco fillings too. Anything goes! ๐ Get my Taco Bar ideas hereโ
๐ Loaded Kumara ChipsChips for dinner? I'm in! These loaded kumara chips turn a tray of homemade kumara fries into a colourful family meal with cheese, bacon, corn, spinach and tomatoes piled on top. They're on the table in around 25 minutes, and you can easily swap the toppings around to suit your family. ๐ Get the Loaded Kumara Chips recipe hereโ
๐ถ๏ธ Mexican PastaPasta night meets taco night! This Mexican-inspired pasta is a true one-pan meal, with beef mince, beans, capsicum and pasta all cooking together in the sauce. Less washing up, plenty of flavour, and something a little different for the midweek dinner rotation. ๐ Get the Mexican Pasta recipe hereโ
Hopefully one of these puts a little more fun into dinner this week. And if your child's idea of a taco is a tortilla with cheese and precisely nothing else... that's okay too. 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. ๐ 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 Iโm 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. ๐ฅฆ Broccoli Bites A handy little savoury option for lunchboxes, snacks or those hungry-after-school moments. Theyโre a nice change when you feel like youโve packed one too many sandwiches lately. ๐ Get the Broccoli Bites recipe here MAKE MY BROCCOLI BITES! ๐ง 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. ๐ 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...
