Omega 3 packed salmon and tons of veg, all coated in a rich tomato sauce. The sweetcorn gives that bit of sweetness that kids (and adults!) love. It’s a good one for getting your fish in, even if you’re not a fan.

Easily prepped the night before, this can bring some variety into your breakfasts if you’re in a bit of a rut. Packed with healthy fats and with just enough protein, it’ll keep your blood sugars managed for hours and it tastes so delicious you can serve it as dessert too (maybe halve the portions though…)!

Vegetarian sandwich fillings can be a hard to come by. This one has everything you need, especially with fresh, juicy cherry tomatoes in the summer. It can be a little dry for some tastes though, so if you like a moist filling this isn’t for you.

Salads can often get negative press, but I love a warm salad, especially one as tasty and filling as this!

A lovely thick luxury tomato soup which can be knocked up in around 20 minutes, with hidden blended beans to make it much more filling.

Full of healthy fats, with a lemon and parsley sauce to add some flavour to the veg and a zingy spring onion mash.

Tomato and pasta always pair well, and black beans work too! Smoked paprika makes everything taste delicious, and you’re getting a good dose of veg here too.

Coupling delicious raspberries and strawberries with wholesome oats to get you off to a great start in your day.

Not a new idea and we all need a night off cooking something more complicated sometimes. The simplicity of frozen foods is always welcomed, and the kids live it. Here’s how to do it without guilt! Yes, it’s not the healthiest thing you’ll ever feed your family, but that’s ok sometimes!
