Show Notes

Today I’m sharing my top 10 “go-to” dinners, to make planning dinner a whole lot easier! These are meals that I regularly cook for my family – they’re healthy, simple, and, most importantly, they work!

Episode Highlights:

1. Cheats Pasta - Simple, quick, and always a hit with the kids.

 2. Poke Bowls - A versatile meal that can be customised for each family member. 

 3. Satay Chicken - A one-pot wonder with secret additions to boost the nutrition.

 4. Easy Green Curry - A simple yet flavourful green curry that can be adjusted to suit various taste buds!

 5. Homemade Pizza - Get the kids involved in making their own pizzas with whole grain bases and various toppings like cheese, veggies, and lean meats.

 6. Schnitzels - either homemade or I share my favourite shop bought option!. 

 7. Stir Fry - a fast and healthy dinner option, served deconstructed or mixed! 

 8. Sushi - a favourite with the kids!... and/or rice paper rolls!

 9. Soup! - including little hacks to make it more fun and increase acceptance!

 I hope these dinner ideas inspire you and make mealtimes a little easier and more enjoyable. Remember, there's no judgement here – some weeks are scrappy, and that's perfectly okay. The goal is to get some nutritious food on the table without the stress.
