Some days you just need a bowl of comfort food and only creamy cheesy pasta will do! I love mac and cheese but calorie wise it can start to get a bit high especially when made the traditional way with butter, flour and cheese. So I set out to make my own version, that's easy to whip up just for one person, is quick and lower in calories too. Check out the exact ingredients I use to make a single serve for just 460 calories!

Slow Cooker Spaghetti Meatballs
If your kids are fans of spaghetti and meatballs but not so keen on veggies, then both you and them are going to love this recipe! I've made this recipe as easy as possible, using as few ingredients as possible. Whilst also trying to maximise on taste and flavour. Everything gets chucked in the slow cooker earlier in the day when the kids are still at school and by the evening you have a delicious dinner ready to serve up!

You know by now that I'm a big fan of One Pot or One Tray meals. If you can chuck it all into one pan and save on washing up then it's a big thumbs up from me! This recipe cooks all the elements of the meal - the meat, the carbs and the veggies - together in one dish in the oven. So simple and perfect for a quick and easy mid week dinner.

A frittata is a fantastic and versatile dish as it can pretty much be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We ate this as a healthy lunch with some extra salad but you could also make a more substantial meal by serving it with crusty bread or potato salad.

This Macaroni Cheese with Secret Cauliflower Sauce is so so good and my fussy eater couldn’t get it into her quick enough when I served it last week and she didn't even notice the hidden veggie ingredient! Mac ‘n Cheese is so versatile. I made the classic recipe here but you could also add some chicken or bacon and any veg that your own fussy eaters will tolerate. My recipe can also be adapted to be vegan friendly too. #macandcheeserecipe #hiddenveggiesforkids #veganrecipes #fussyeaters Beef Mac And Cheese, Pumpkin Mac And Cheese, Macaroni Cheese, Baked Macaroni, Mac Cheese, Chicken Pasta Recipes, Healthy Dinner Recipes Easy

YES! Nachos CAN be healthy! I knew it! Nachos have to be one of my family's favourite meals but I’ve avoided making them recently as I thought they were just too unhealthy. After a little pestering on their part I decided to come up with a recipe for a healthier version. I have to say the whole family really enjoyed these nachos and hopefully you will too! #nachos #healthiermealideas #familymealideas #healthyrecipes Healthy Nacho Recipe, Healthy Nachos, Nachos Recipe, Hallumi Recipes, Hotdish Recipes, Lasagna Recipes

Although I’d love to spend hours in the kitchen cooking up impressive new dishes, with two small kids I just don’t have the time and that’s why I absolutely love slow cooked one pot meals. I can prepare dinner earlier in the day when my oldest is at nursery and the baby is napping and then leave it to cook. My recipe for this lamb casserole is super easy to make and is a delicious and warming dinner idea for the family! #lambrecipes #casserolerecipes #slowcookedlamb #onepotmeals #dinnerrecipes Lamb Recipes, Stew Recipes, Dinner Recipes, Casserole Recipes, Risotto Recipes, Meat Recipes
