I was rummaging through my kitchen the other day and thought I would have a go at making up something with food that was probably going to be wasted. I found some broccoli, some ends of a loaf of bread and some grated cheese that my son refused to eat (it wasn’t the right colour apparently!!)…

It’s Monday and for MyMiniMeals Mates Monday my lovely friend Anna has given me her delicious and totally easy Meatloaf Muffin recipe. This is a bit like my Any Mince Burger recipe but they are a bit firmer and stick together really well from being made in a muffin case so are perfect for little fingers to pick up. Anna’s original recipe uses beef mince but you can try it with any mince you like or even mix minces. I hope you enjoy!

I buy a lot of salmon as Little Lady loves it and occasionally I can get The Boy to eat it (usually by hiding it in something else and dousing it in ketchup!). It’s so good for kids as it contains Omega 3 and it has a mild creamy taste so usually is very popular with children. Here are 6 simple salmon ides for you. I hope you enjoy!

It’s MyMiniMeals Mates Monday so today I am showing you all a great recipe from a lovely lady called Esther – Homemade chicken nuggets. Esther claims she isn’t a good cook but she made up this recipe and they are so delicious! They actually taste better than chicken nuggets you find in certain fast food…

Let me just say at the outset that I buy processed frozen fish fingers. They are so convenient and 20 minutes in the oven and they are ready and, as both my kids love them, I’d be crazy not to buy them and make my life easy. But I also do make my own fish fingers (when I am feeling very Nigella-esque and virtuous) and they probably are as quick to make as the frozen ones. I hope you enjoy them! Continue reading →
I buy a lot of salmon and Little Lady eats it quite often. I usually make her Salmon with Broccoli and Cheese tomato sauce or Salmon and Broccoli Fishcakes but today I fancied making something that didn’t use flaked or mashed salmon. So I came up with these ever so easy, ever so tasty and ever so simple salmon bites. They only took me about 20 minutes from start to finish and were gobbled up by my little pink dustbin in no time.

I love it when I make something and then think of other ways to use the same ingredients. I was tidying out my freezer the other day (as you do!) and found a bag of frozen butternut squash that had been lurking in the depths of my freezer. Little Lady loves butternut squash but I haven’t used it for a while so I decided to attempt to make her some risotto. You know me well enough by now to know that I have no patience in the kitchen so I wasn’t going to stand there stirring my rice for hours to get the perfect risotto so I came up with my own version that, as usual, is far easier to make than the proper one. I then decided to experiment with the cooked risotto and see what, if any, finger foods I could make from it. So here is the result of my experimenting – Easy Butternut Risotto 3 ways!

This is another recipe that I found online but made some slight amendments and I have to admit I think it tastes better than the original. Its a carb filled, protein packed pie that is, yet again, so easy to make.
