These hearty, wholesome and totally satisfying meals will make home-isolation that little more creative, tastier and happier.
Beef cottage pie
This classic beef cottage pie takes just 15 minutes to prep and is a brilliant way to transform everyday pantry ingredients into a family favourite. Even better, you can freeze it. Ready to go meals at home… because you know, we aren’t going anywhere.
Hearty chicken and barley soup
You don’t need to be ill to enjoy this crowd favourite. Packed with Pearl barley (good source of fibre and packed with nutrients) this hearty chicken, vegie and barley soup is a brilliant way to get your daily dose of nature’s best – carrots, thyme, bacon bones and chicken stock.
Barbecued French toast
With a thick, crunchy layer of caramelised demerara sugar, this is simply too good to save for brekkie alone! Make a batch for afternoon tea or dessert, and serve with barbecued peaches or pears instead of the apple, if you like. It’s Sunday morning café style fancy, served at home.
