Simple, Tasty Food to Kick Off the School Year

Hello Reader

Back-to-school season is here—and that means busy mornings, packed lunches, and weeknight dinners that need to come together fast. I’ve rounded up my favourite family-friendly recipes that make the transition smoother (and more delicious!).

From quick breakfasts to lunchbox heroes, these recipes are all about saving time without skimping on nutrition or flavour.

And keep an eye out for my roundup of easy weeknight dinners - coming soon!

Grab and Go Breakfasts

👉 Lemon Blueberry Muffins - The secret to these delicious and moist blueberry muffins is in the yogurt! This muffin recipe is foolproof and endlessly customizable!

👉 Spiced Pear Baked Oatmeal - Even if your kids are not into porridge, why not try baked oatmeal instead? Easy to throw together and the taste is firmly in the dessert category!

👉 Apple Turnovers - Flaky and delicious turnovers, perfect for an exciting breakfast on the go!

👉 Chocolate Almond Butter (Homemade Nutella) - My version of homemade Nutella is easy to make and even easier to enjoy! Smear some on a bit of toast for a easy breakfast option!

👉 Natural Maple Peanut Butter - Easy to make and with ingredients you know and trust! The added sweetness of maple makes this next level!

​

Lunch Box

👉 Tuna Salad Sandwich - This sandwich is loaded with meaty tuna, protein-heavy egg, mayo, crunchy celery, a mustard punch and a cheeky pickle.

👉 Egg Salad Sandwich - Brimming with protein rich egg and a sprinkling of greenery, this healthy and humble hero makes for a perfect packed lunch.

👉 Puff Pastry Pizza Margarita - Non-traditional? Perhaps. But there's nothing my kids loved more than a slice of pizza in their lunch box! This one is quick and easy to make at home.

👉 Pulled Pork and Cheese Quesadilla - Another sandwich alternative that kids love! They're amazing hot, but fantastic cold as well.

👉 Manuka Honey and Oats Granola Bars - These bars are made with all natural ingredients are so much tastier and cheaper than the store bought ones!

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!
