Do you have days when you spend most of your time in the kitchen baking away to prepare for the week ahead? Today I had one of those days with no plans and the girls happily playing it was a good chance to get some baking done. I really like trying simple new recipes and cooking for my family, I feel like I've achieved something productive, I only wish I didn't have the clean up afterwards which can sometimes takes as long as the cooking. After many dishes today I baked a couple of sweet and one savoury dish for the girls lunches. So in their lunch boxes this week will be:
I found this site today when I goggled ideas for lunch boxes. There are lots of simple and child friendly recipes there to fill their lunch boxes and yours too.
The sun seems to be disappearing here now and it's cooling down, Winter is on it's way and I love snuggling up. What do you love most about Winter?
Have a happy Monday♥
That Kid's Recipe site looks great Catherine, have bookmarked it to check out properly later. It's fun having a big cook up and seeing all the yummy things you have prepared for the week waiting in your fridge :) I don't like the clean up part either.
ReplyDeleteI am a cookies person and your cookie photo definitely caught my attention! Will check out the site later for the recipe! Thanks for the reference!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look divine. I don't do biscuits. They scare me like bread does (yes, strange, I know).
ReplyDeleteBut I like the idea of making chocie bickies for my son. He will love that treat.
Those biscuits look superb. I have been in the kitchen much of today as well.Custard, biscuits and a roast dinner all knocked over today. melx
ReplyDeleteOh yum! Great selection Catherine.
ReplyDeleteDef spend a bit more time baking in cooler months also without a dishwasher the clean up can be painful :)
oh how i love those productive days that makes you feel entirely organised for the week ahead. Those biscuits look amazing by the way. Check out 'exclusively food' - some great recipes on there that always turn out just right!
ReplyDeleteThey look yum. Like the link to all the ideas for lunchboxes. I so need that.
ReplyDeleteOh yum! Those biscuits look deeelicious. I'm a bit like Sonia... biscuits and bread are a bit terrifying. Baking days are normally scones or cupcakes or big cakes here. Our freezer is empty so I think I'll whip something up tonight. gxo
ReplyDeleteI hope that there were blogs suggesting recipes when I had 4 lunch boxes to prepare every morning for 4 hungry children! The 'Ham and vegetable slice' would be nice also for my lunch!
ReplyDeleteI'm salivating over those biscuits!

Those biscuits have it!! Such a fabulous shot. I wish I could smell them too. Pruxxx
ReplyDeleteOh yum - I'd like one of those biscuits right now!
ReplyDeleteLike the look of that easy loaf too! Might have to be a morning tea option instead of lunchbox as Goose doesn't eat any kind of dried fruit! Grrr
