🍝 It’s the question that keeps on giving: “What’s for dinner?”

Tonight, I’m cooking a simple but delicious Neapolitana pasta — plenty of extra virgin olive oil, onion, garlic, basil, tomato passata, tinned tomatoes, salt, pepper, and a dash (or splash!) of balsamic vinegar, plus a teaspoon of sugar (my Nonna’s recipe ❤️).

It’s a no-fuss meal — I might toss in some chicken for my husband, add a few capers for me, and the kids will have it plain. Of course, we finish the meal by dunking bread into olive oil and balsamic. Heaven!

The thing is — it’s good to have your go-to meals. They keep you sane. They keep things easy, consistent, and regular.

If you haven’t already grabbed them, I’ve got 5 great healthy kids’ recipes that will make your week easier.

And if you already have them, but want 100+ delicious, nutritious, dietitian-approved family meals (these are unique because they specifically boost nutrients kids often lack),

Seriously, not much worse than going to pack your child’s lunchbox on a Monday morning…
only to realise you have to wash it first from Friday. 🫣

Anyway — such is life, the joys of parenthood.

But if you’re like me and want to make school mornings just that little bit easier — think lunches that don’t take brainpower, snacks that actually nourish, and kids who might even eat them — you’re in the right place.

💚 Making healthy eating doable is what I’m all about — no stress, no guilt, just real food that fits into real life.

We often jump to blaming screens for our kids’ mood swings, meltdowns, or lack of focus — but here’s the truth: what they out in their mouth could be having just as big an impact.

As a Paediatric Dietitian, I’m certain that processed food and food additives do far more than change a product’s colour or shelf life — they can change how our kids feel and behave.

💢 They affect attention and behaviour.

Artificial colours and preservatives have been shown to increase hyperactivity and inattention — especially in kids who are more sensitive, like those with ADHD or other neurodivergent traits.

🦠 They disrupt gut health.

Many additives interfere with the gut microbiome — that delicate balance of good bacteria that supports digestion, immunity, and even mood. When the gut’s off, everything else follows.

🍭 They mess with blood sugar.

Processed foods are highly refined- often causing big sugar swings — those ups and downs that lead to moodiness, fatigue, and emotional outbursts.

Now, let’s keep it real — we can’t avoid every additive. But wherever we can reduce them, it matters.

Because I truly believe we’re only just beginning to understand the long-term effects these chemicals have on our kids’ health and brains.

💚 That’s exactly why I created Supermarket Guru — to help parents like you decode food labels in under 10 seconds, spot the sneaky additives, and feel confident you’re buying better options.

You don’t need to read every label or Google every ingredient — I’ve done it for you.

✅ Mini tutorials
✅ Cheat sheets
✅ Clear guides on what to buy — all in one place.

I use these five snacks regularly in my kids lunch box - they offer fibre and other nutrients.

1. lightly slated
2. Favva beans or chic peas
3 original muesli bars
4. Real food grainy corn thins
5. Seaweed (various brands)

I’ll usually include them with fruit as a part of morning tea.

If you want to know more ideas- about what I put in my kids lunchboxes, head to the free site on my website. Comment LUNCHBOX for the link.

Let’s face it, most Kids love snacking, and as a mum I find this a challenge- to find half decent snacks that are actually going to nourish them.

Which is why I recorded a podcast episode for you on strategies to reduce the junk snacks and instead find easy swaps to healthier options- that they will still accept!
