This recipe is just so comforting, my daughter absolutely loves this dish. This cannelloni dish can be made vegetarian by changing out the bolognese to a regular tomato sauce and it is still just as hearty!

I always make this along with my bolognese and put it in the freezer to make sure we’ve got a variety of dishes to choose from. My daughter loves to help fill the tubes (though messy and she often gets bored after a few!) It's a nice activity to get her interested in cooking.

When I know I'm going to be busy or I know I’ve got time, I like to plan a few meals to meal prep and throw them into the freezer ready for a busy or lazy day! This recipe is based on the bulk recipe bolognese (Here! - https://youtu.be/nUEQBhCOdSM) using a ricotta base because I find that it’s so much easier and faster than making a bechamel. I always love a good excuse to throw in some extra goodness with the spinach. 

I like to use these small 1 litre glass tupperware dishes that are easy to throw into the freezer and into the oven (NB. If cooking from frozen, you will need to defrost the lasagne slow in the microwave or overnight in the fridge to prevent extreme temperature changes that could cause the glass to break).

Cornbread is just a comforting dish! This recipe has extra corn because I love that extra bite and a garlic, parsley vibe through it making it an absolutely delicious savoury snack or the perfect accompaniment to stews, fried chicken, pork chops, chili… pretty much anything to be honest. My daughter loves this on its own and it comes along with us on picnics often.

I significantly reduced the sugar content in this recipe as I’m not one for super sweet cornbread and I like it to lean more to the savoury side, there’s enough sweetness from the creamed corn, corn and a little sugar to give it a nice buttery, sweet and salty balance!

I love a good hearty stew, something I can throw into a pot and leave. It really is a dish that is comforting for the soul and makes a good amount for a big family or for multiple meals. Sometimes I’ll throw in some spinach or kale at the end to have a more well rounded dish for the family. 

Leaving the vegetables chunky and using waxy potatoes means that they don’t disintegrate in the cooking process. My daughter isn’t much of a meat eater but loves all the vegetables served with warm rice. This really is a great dish to make ahead and heat up when you’re ready to indulge!

I love soup! It feels like a good, healthy meal and this soup is quick, easy and will give your soul a nice, comforting hug. You can include whatever vegetables you have in the fridge and use vegetable stock and exclude the meat for a meat free meal. I always keep some sliced meat in portions in the freezer alongside some frozen vegetables to throw in with my pantry staples. This soup will be on the table in 10 minutes with next to no prep and very little washing up!

This is my go-to pasta sauce, it’s super easy, family friendly, involves very little work and has a whole lot of flavour! It’s especially good at getting veggies in for non-veggie eaters. Sometimes I load this up with some frozen chopped spinach or some roasted eggplants, broccoli or cauliflower.

It’s a really great sauce to have in the freezer, ready to spread onto a pizza or with a bowl of pasta. My favourite thing about it is just throwing all the veggies into the food processor and letting technology do the work!
