Simple Pumpkin Soup
A family staple recipe. Ask any mum if they make pumpkin soup and I’m sure the answer will be yes. It’s a meal that graces many dinner tables during winter. It’s also a meal that frequents a cafe’s menu too. With it being so incredibly popular, of course, we have our own version we make…

Warm, not spicy. I know, you’re thinking of course this meal is spicy. After all, it has spicy salami as the key ingredient. Well yes… it does have this.

Creamy Scrambled Eggs

Smoked Salmon Spaghetti
If you’re after a quick and easy family meal, this should be on your rotate. It’s one of my favourite pasta meals to make plus a great way to pack in some omega-3 into the diet. The kids love this when I make it but I think they’d love anything with pasta.
