Here are 14 vegetable packed soup recipes that will keep you full, warm and boost your vegetable intake this soup season. I like to make big batches and freeze serves in ziplock bags so that I always have a quick meal on hand. Do the kids turn their nose up at soup? I serve them […]
Slow Cooker Potato and Leek Soup
On the Gold Coast we have had our first taste of cooler mornings and evenings which means it’s time to start enjoying warm filling meals. My slow cooker is gracing my bench again for the season and first up is this Potato and Leek Soup. If you love your potatoes then you are going to […]
Three Ingredient Ham & Cheese Horns
On a Sunday afternoon I love to get some cooking down to see us through the week, especially for lunchboxes. My 6.5 had asked for sausage rolls to be made for this week, which I made. I had a couple of sheets of puff pastry left that had already defrosted so I got creative with […]
Easy Cheesy Chicken Bolognese
Chicken mince made it’s way into the shopping trolley this week. I don’t buy every week but when I do buy it I buy it at Woolworths and you can get two packets (500gm each) for $9 normally $6 each so it is a great price. I used one packet to make Chicken and Vegetable […]

I’m not saying that premade baked beans aren’t good as they have saved me on many occasions when we have needed an easy dinner or lunchbox filler. What I am saying is that if you are after something a little wholesome and filling then […]
