Happy Halloween! While this celebration typically involves children receiving copious amounts of treats and candy, it is not something that needs to be feared. Because having a healthy relationship with food, is one where Halloween treats can be enjoyed and truly savoured….

Who doesn’t enjoy a delicious slice of the veggie-packed zucchini (or courgette depending on where you are from) bake? I find this is an incredibly versatile dish, the only limit is your imagination! You can use any veggies in place of or alongside the zucchini.

Perfect for lunch boxes or when you feel like a sweet treat.

I must admit when I first heard of using lentils (or other legumes) as a base for baking, my initial thought was YUCK! But seriously, you shouldn't knock something until you try it, right?

As another school term starts, many parents will be asking themselves again, what should they be packing into their child or teens lunch box? It's an age-old question, which needs to strike the fine balance between foods which will help to keep them powering through the day but also ones that you know will get eaten…. 

Hate veggie waste? Then why not give these little beauties a try? They're a cross between a muffin and a frittata, using up all the uneaten veggies leftover from my boy's dinners during the week. Perfect for snacks and lunchboxes, I also store them in the freezer so I have something at the ready on the days I need something quickly!

This recipe couldn't be any easier and it's perfect for those of you who are trying to have a #meatlessmonday. It's also a great way to use up any leftover or old vegetables and thereby helps to reduce food waste. 

Corn and vegetable fritters are a great way to reduce food waste and they are super versatile too. Your only limit to what they include is your imagination. Not only delicious for any meal of the day they also make a nutritious snack or lunchbox filler.
