Rice cake pizzas

These cute little rice cake pizzas make a great snack for the kids and you can even get them to help you make them. We have shown you some exact ingredients but you can create your own with whatever you have in the fridge.

Messy cheese pies

These little quiches are a big hit with my kids because the flaky (messy) pastry appeals to their taste buds and sense of chaos. I like them because you can hide egg, corn and other yellowish vegetables (pureed pumpkin, carrot, yellow zucchini etc)

Mexican crunch

All the flavours of Mexico combine to make this easy, kid-pleasing dinner. Serve the crushed corn chips in individual bowls and let the kids help themselves to the spiced mince, veggies and cheese. Easy peasy.

Chicken jambalaya

Chicken, pork, sausage and veggies, this colourful Jamaican rice dish is one-pot and full of flavour. A great one to make when there's a hungry crowd to feed.

Owl cupcakes

These cute owl cupcakes are easy to make with the kids and perfect for fundraisers and fetes. Get baking for a cute afternoon tea treat.

Tomato and onion pie

This easy vegetarian dish makes a lovely light meal on its own or can be served as an accompaniment. With softly cooked tomatoes and onions at its base, it also has a delicious crunchy topping of baked breadcrumbs.

Quick scones

These quick scones are just like Nana used to make! A splash of lemonade and a dollop of cream in the mix and you've got a soft, easy to knead dough that will be in and out of the oven before you can say, butter and jam!

Banana splits

Pretend dessert can be healthy with this recipe for banana splits! Topped with chocolate topping, marshmallows, smarties and nuts the whole family will be begging you to make these again.
