Some super delicious teatime inspiration for you t

Some super delicious teatime inspiration for you today from @hellolunchlady - these black bean bowls are an easy yet filling weeknight tea.

Put a large pan on a medium heat. Add 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 diced onion and fry for about 5 minutes until the onion is lightly golden. Add 4 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tbsp paprika and 2 tbsp ground cumin and fry for 2 more minutes until fragrant. Pour in 400g tin of passata and 1 cup of veg stock and bring to a simmer. Add 2 x 400g tins of black beans (drained and rinsed) and 500g sweet potato (cut into large cubes). Simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on. When the sweet potato is tender, it’s ready. Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper. Ladel into big bowls and top with grated cheese, a spoonful of yoghurt, slices of avocado, a few tortilla chips. Add hot sauce and corriander for the adults.

Our last recipe bags included all the ingredients

Our last recipe bags included all the ingredients to make our cozy apple baked porridge and it’s been a big hit on these chilly mornings.

Preheat the oven to 200c. Put 75g jumbo oats and 1 tsp cinnamon in to an ovenproof dish. Roughly chop 30g hazelnuts and add them to the bowl, then grate in 1 apple. Pour over 300ml almond milk and 25ml maple syrup and mix together until well combined. Stir through a handful of frozen blueberries. Thinly slice another apple and lay the slices on top of the porridge. Top with little dots of coconut oil or butter and sprinkle over some more cinnamon. Bake for 30mins, until golden brown on top and bubbling. Serve warm with a splash of almond milk and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.

Make the porridge the night before you want to eat it and pop it in the fridge until the morning. You’ll just need to put it in the oven in the morning and you’ll be rewarded with a delicious, cozy breakfast 😋

Our special munch recipe bags are available to order on our website now, for delivery in Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Uckfield and surrounding areas at the start of half term.

Cooking together is a fun way to encourage an appr

Cooking together is a fun way to encourage an appreciation of food and where it comes from whilst introducing new ingredients and skills — helping to set children up with a positive relationship with food that will last a lifetime. Encouraging children to take an active role in choosing, preparing and cooking simple meals is a great way to get them excited about food.

But it can be easier said than done, right? Here are a few of our ideas to make cooking together stress-free and enjoyable!

1. Get hands on — get your children to touch, taste and smell the ingredients you’re cooking with. The more familiar children are with ingredients and the more they feel involved in the process, the more likely they are to eat the food at the end.

2. Take your time — cook together when there are no time pressures and no rush to get a meal on the table. Make a batch of snacks to enjoy during the week, or something for tomorrow’s breakfast. Let them taste the food along the way, and ask if they think it tastes good or needs anything else adding.

3. Make it fun — give them the fun bits of a recipe to do, like shaping energy balls in their hands or blitzing a smoothie in a blender - smoothies are a great first step for children in the kitchen as the method is so easy, and you don’t need to be accurate with the measurements.
