Celebrations
Add some delicious healthy options to your celebrations.
Vegetables, either in dips or with dips, are simple to prepare and delicious to eat. Everyone loves to nibble before a meal or with drinks at barbecues or parties.
This is a yummy easy dip family and friends will love! It's also wonderful over any cooked vegetables.
An easy, yummy winter dessert the whole family will enjoy.
Older children enjoy making these fruit kebabs. Use any combination of your favourite fresh and tinned fruit - look out for what's on special at the market or supermarket.
Serve up this delicious and healthier alternative to traditional sausage rolls at your next celebration. It is worth keeping a spray can of oil in the cupboard as an easy way to cut down on the amount of oil you use when making filo or cooking food in a non-stick pan.
Children love helping make pikelets. Get the kids involved in making this snack and put any leftovers in the family lunchboxes.
