Hello! One of my favourite things about school holiday lunches? They don't have to survive a lunchbox. No worrying about whether it'll go soggy, stay warm, get squashed or come home completely untouched. So while we've still got another week of school holidays ahead of us, I thought I'd share three easy lunches that are particularly good when the kids are home - warm, quick and just a little more fun than the usual sandwich. π When you need lunch NOW: Pizza ToastThis is barely a recipe - which is exactly why I like it! Grab a slice of bread, add pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you have around, then bake until everything is golden and melty. Let the kids build their own and lunch pretty much makes itself. π Let's make Pizza Toast!
π₯ When you've got little helpers: Rice Paper RollsThese are a fun one to make with the kids rather than for them. Get all the fillings ready, put them in the middle of the table and let everyone have a go at soaking, filling and rolling their own. They don't have to be beautiful. In fact, the first few almost certainly won't be. They'll still taste good. π Make the Rice Paper Rollsβ
π₯¦ When dipping is half the fun: Broccoli BitesCrispy around the edges, cheesy in the middle and very good dunked into a favourite sauce. These Broccoli Bites are baked rather than fried, you can freeze the leftovers, and they work just as well as a snack as they do as part of lunch. Serve them with whatever else your kids enjoy and let the dipping commence. π Make the Broccoli Bitesβ
One more week of lunches at home before the lunchboxes make their comeback. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Stacey |

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. Something fresh: Baked Teriyaki Salmon This is such a lovely one-tray dinner. Salmon, broccolini and...
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. π Something savoury: Pizza Muffins Pizza flavours in muffin form? Yes...
