Beef and Ale Pie

Hearty and traditional cooking at it’s best. Let the slow cooker do the hard work for you with this simple to make Beef and Ale Pie. The flavours are amazing and if it’s even possible, the pie tastes even better the next day!

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.

Penne alla Vodka

Love this dish – so simple to make yet packed with flavour, especially with the added vodka. As the alcohol in the vodka evaporates, it makes this meal suitable for the whole family.

Beef Stroganoff

This is Russian recipe is a classical family favourite. With the inclusion of red wine, tomato paste and paprika, this meal is flavoursome and delicious. You don’t need to resort to pre-made sauce mixes. Next time make this – at least you know exactly what ingredients are added!

Zoodles with Lemon Garlic Chicken

This is a carb-free meal that is quick and simple to make. It’s also super healthy! The kids might not be a fan of this noodle substitute but if you’re looking to eat healthier, this is a recipe you’ll love.

San Choy Bau

San Choy Bau is amazing for a number of reasons. It’s pretty quick to make which is great on the occasions you’re time poor. It’s low-carb as uses lettuce leaves as a wrap for the meat mixture. And lastly because you can have a meal with added kick by including fresh chopped chilli without it impacting the kids.

Spinach & Ricotta Rotolo

Rotolo is a lesser known Italian pasta dish with this version being similar to the popular cannelloni. The filling is rolled up in pasta sheets, cut and placed into the pasta sauce then baked in the oven to get delicious crunchy bits.

Jambalaya

Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you off – most of those are spice related which gives the complex smokey flavour that is Jambalaya. Despite all the ingredients, making this meal is simpler than making a risotto.
