MONDAY

Cottage Pie – this is the Woolworths Family Classics Cottage Pie. It’s 1.1kg, so plenty big enough for my whole family, and a great way to give yourself a break from the kitchen mid week. I served the cottage pie with steamed veggies.

TUESDAY

Chorizo Pasta – a very easy and light pasta recipe to whip up when you’re in a hurry. Plus I think you can never go wrong with pasta and chorizo. This is a really great one pan dish. I served mine with ricotta and basil.

WEDNESDAY

Pumpkin Soup – winter is the perfect time for soup, and this pumpkin soup is really easy to make – and very tasty too! If you haven’t made your own pumpkin soup before (or you have sick kids at home), then I recommend you try this one.

SATURDAY

Chicken Fritters – these chicken fritters team together a combination of juicy chicken, capsicum and corn. The recipe makes crispy golden fritters that are seriously delicious, and super easy to prepare too.

SUNDAY

Slow Cooker Beef Casserole – Sunday nights should be easy and relaxing. I usually slow cook on Sundays, because I bake so much that I want a night off from cooking a big family meal and standing in the kitchen. Prepare in the morning, throw it all into the slow cooker, and enjoy your Sunday.

BAKING

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins – my kids are on schools holidays now, so I did a bike bake up of these delicious muffins to keep them satisfied. These muffins are also freezable, so I was able to do a triple batch and freeze heaps for a later date.
