This is one of those…

Thanks to my good friend and super-mum Kirsty DeRoach (https://www.instagram.com/babyderoach), I now know another great use for vegetables and leftovers that are past their best.

KT’s Dippy Eggs and Soldiers
My toddler loves a soft boiled egg and soldiers and when he wants them for breakfast he asks for ‘dippy eggs’. The name has stuck I am happy to say :). The problem was that I had always cooked hard boiled eggs, using this method, growing up. So I had to ask my wife if…

PK’s Chicken Puff Pastry Parcels
These little chicken parcels encourage variety and experimentation when it comes to their fillings. They especially lend themselves to using up leftover chicken and those limp vegetables at the back of the fridge.

Kat’s Ladybird Cupcakes
To satisfy her latest favourite thing, I decided to make ladybird cupcakes for daughter’s 2nd birthday cake (cup cakes rather than one big cake to allow for mistakes!). Red velvet cupcakes seemed fitting and I’m afraid I used a box mix as I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, decorating or baking.…

Crumbed Baked Chicken Sticks

Chicken chippies were chip shaped slices of chicken coated in breadcrumbs and then snap-frozen for retail sale. The advert was hilarious: I am not sure if you can still buy them but I now…

PK’S Broccoli Filled Beef Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a great way to make a little go a long way. I use minced beef, vegetables and cheese to hook my fussy little eaters (lamb, pork, chicken work a treat too). My wife loved it as well, mostly as it is a ‘one pan’ dish! The broccoli filling was supposed to stay hidden…

These chicken, cheese and vegetable patties make for a nice change to burger night. Made from chicken mince and the old veggies you have lurking at the back of the fridge, they could not be easier to make. You can even make them in huge batches as they freeze well and we use them as…
