Lentil ragu and spaghetti
This freezable veggie ragu or Lentil spaghetti veggienese, packs in four of your five-a-day and is high in fibre and protein.
Rice Pudding
Find comfort in a bowl with this old-fashioned pudding, especially when it is cold outside. You do need to use short-grain rice and take it out of the oven before all the milk has absorbed, so that it is still creamy.
Mince Pies
Mince pies are Jen’s FAVOURITE Christmas food! This is her quick hack if you don’t have the ingredients (or time!) to make your own from scratch – just use shop-bought pastry and a jar of mincemeat.
Non-cheese straws
These non-cheese straws make a very quick snack that adults and children enjoy and are special enough for a party.
Chocolate-dipped Candied Orange Peel
When Jen’s father and son, Isaac, discovered a mutual love of oranges they experimented with different ways to use the leftover peel.
DAIRY-FREE BRANDY BUTTER
For Jen, the best thing about Christmas pudding is the brandy butter. She has been known to eat it by the spoon when no-one is looking.
