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!

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!

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 Mac Cheese Recipes, Chicken Pasta Recipes, Healthy Dinner Recipes Easy, Healthy Snacks, Healthy Eats, Vegetarian Pasta

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, Casserole Recipes, Dinner Recipes, Risotto Recipes, Meat Recipes

I have been trying as much as possible lately reduce our food waste. I often have leftover bread and bits of veg in the fridge so rather than buy more food, I'm trying to saving money and reduce food waste by making meals from leftovers. My recipe for this tasty savoury bread pudding that uses up your less than fresh bread and other leftovers was a real success and got a big thumbs up from my family and even my 3 year old ate the broccoli! #leftoversrecipes #dinnerideas #moneysavingrecipes Bread Pudding Recipe, Pudding Recipes, Pork Recipes, Pudding Ideas, Broccoli Casserole

On these cold Winter days it’s really nice to be able to whip up something hot for lunch if you are at home. A cold salad just won’t cut it at the moment!

All the ingredients are cooked together in one dish in the oven leaving you to get on with other things. #salmonrecipes #onepanrecipes #onepotrecipes #healthymadeeasy #lunchideas #lunchrecipes Lunch Recipes, Healthy Lunch

Homemade chicken nuggets always go down well with the kids and these crispy and crunchy nuggets cooked in the air fryer are no exception! The outside is cripsy and crunchy whilst the chicken on the inside stays tender. These nuggets honestly look and taste like they have been deep fried but of course with a fraction of the oil so are much lighter and healthier! #chickennuggets #airfryernuggets #foodforkids Chicken Recipes For Kids, Actifry Recipes, Homemade Chicken Nuggets, Sandwiches, Fussy Eaters, Pasta

If your family loves curries but they’re also fussy eaters, then I’ve got a recipe that’s hopefully going to go down a storm with everyone. It’s a simple chicken curry hiding four nutritious vegetables that would fool even the pickiest of eaters! It’s a great recipe to batch cook too, either storing just the sauce or the sauce with the chicken in the freezer for a meal another day. #chickencurry #hiddenvegrecipe #myfussyeater Hidden Vegetable Recipes, Hidden Vegetables, Chicken Recipes, Mild Chicken Curry Recipe, Picky Eaters
