Midweek Meals: Dinner in 30(ish)


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.

🍍 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 noodles.

You can also do all the chopping earlier in the day, which makes the actual cooking super quick at dinner time.

πŸ₯¦ Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Beef, loads of broccoli and a simple homemade stir fry sauce - all on the table in under 30 minutes.

It's one of those useful recipes to have in your back pocket when you've got beef in the fridge but don't particularly feel like making another mince dinner.

Serve with rice and you're done.

🌿 Pesto Pasta

And for A meat-free option, it doesn't get much easier than this.

This pesto pasta takes around 15 minutes and the homemade pesto is packed with basil, spinach and pumpkin seeds. Simple, green and very slurpable!

You can serve it as is, or add whatever extras work for your family.

Hopefully that's three more answers to the never-ending question: what's for dinner?

Chicken Teriyaki Couscous and other Spring recipes

Hello! Isn't it nice having a bit more daylight in the evenings? Now that spring is well and truly here, I'm finding myself in the mood for dinners that are a little lighter, a little more colourful, and don't involve spending ages in the kitchen. So I've pulled together three family dinners that fit the bill. Different flavours, different ingredients, and all easy enough for a weeknight.

3 easy, healthy lunchbox ideas

Hello! Well, we're one week into Term 4 already! Hopefully everyone's settling back into the school routine after the holidays. Although I have to say, it doesn't take long for the novelty of packing lunchboxes to wear off, does it? And with the end-of-year busyness starting to creep in, I'm all for keeping things simple. So if your lunchbox inspiration could do with a little boost, I've got three ideas for you this week. πŸ• Something savoury: Pizza Muffins Pizza flavours in muffin form? Yes...
