Cucumber Sushi
A Lunchbox Filler. Do your kids like sushi? Unfortunately my kids don’t and they’ve picked up my dislike for it. I’m saddened by this as sushi is really healthy, filling and nutritious. Perfect for growing little bodies. That’s why I’m really happy to have discovered cucumber sushi. It takes on the concept and uses flavours…
Tomato Basil Penne with Chicken
Fresh is best. As a working mum and the chief cook in this household, I can say there are times I just don’t want to cook. It’s either too hot to cook, I’m tired after a long day, or just can’t be bothered. Ordering takeaways is the last thing I want to do. After all,…

Easy Chicken Hoisin Noodles
Lots of noodles! My two kids love noodles. Like, really really love noodles. They would be absolutely thrilled if they could have noodles every night for dinner. I don’t even bother asking them what they want for dinner anymore as know what the answer will be. It’s pretty predictable. I’m sure just about all kids…
Garlic Brussels Sprouts
The Cinderella of all vegetables. Over the decades, brussels sprouts have been so incredibly misunderstood. They’ve long been cast aside as a lame bitter vegetable hated by kids and adults alike. I grew up with mum serving these for dinner. She would boil them and serve them as is. Naked. It was quite unappealing to…
