Lentil Pate
I haven’t made this for the longest time. I’m enjoying it on a slice of my home made granary bread, toasted, for breakfast. Do give it a go, super cheap, great for breakfast, hollow leg filling and packed lunches too
Lovely veggie Nut balls in a tomato sauce
These veggie nut balls are very simple to make, not requiring any complicated method, equipment or skills, although you’ll need to be able to chop the nuts and make breadcrumbs. They can’t really be frozen as they turn to mush, but they don’t take very long
Cabbage, sultana and nut pasta bake
This pasta bake is delicious! Very filling, packed full of vegetables and likely to be enjoyed by the kids as well. Great cold too the next day in lunchboxes.
Another Trio of Vegetable Hummus – Beetroot, Parsnip and Swede
I make chickpea hummus and different flavours all the time. This week I found the joys of vegetable hummus. Made using beetroot, parsnip and swede. Many more flavours to try still. Vegan and low Syn too!

Couscous Snacky Lunchbox Bites
I’ve been enjoying these Couscous snacky lunchbox bites for a couple of weeks now. I thought I’d explore making them from scratch. You know me, I don’t use ready made stuff if I can avoid it.
Spiced Broccoli Soup. Delicious with tomato scone or herb bread
This is a delicious soup. Mildly spicy and creamy, a lovely cold weather lunch, filling, warming and tasty. It is exactly the same as the Spiced Parsnip Soup recipe on meal plan 4, except that I have swapped the parsnip for broccoli. Whist enjoying the parsnip version, I thought that it would probably work for all kinds of different veg. So as I had a yellowing head of broccoli to use before it was unusable, broccoli was the first one I tried.
Bacony tomatoey pasta
Tomatoes and bacon with pasta. Quick, delicious and easy…. and cheap! What could be better!
