Filled with some delicious vegetables, onion, celery, mushrooms, you could also add carrots and capsicum too!

Vege Packed Bolognese – Spaghetti Bolognese is my kids favourite dinner, they would happily eat it each week if I planned it. I usually double this recipe and either freeze it or plan to have it in a different meal later that week (left overs).
Beef and Bacon Pasta Bake – This beef and bacon pasta bake add’s in a little extra flavour beyond the basic jar of pasta sauce.
Chicken Coconut Curry Meatballs – Through my childhood I was always served meat and 3 veg. And I must admit sausages or chicken schnitzel, mash and vegetables would have to be one of my favourite weeknight meals. However, sometimes I like to fancy it up and this Chicken & Coconut Curry Meatballs is exactly that.
