Did you know that making sushi doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated? Our kids love rolling up their sleeves (and their lunch) and I mean there are worse things in the world than a few bits of stray sticky rice around your kitchen right? We even whip this up fresh before school some mornings, to be honest it’s usually the morning after we have chicken schnitzel for dinner, because that’s my kids sushi go to – but...

Don’t know about you, but winter screams comfort food in this KiA house, and here’s an easy [cheesy] dinner that we make ahead of time to pop in the oven after sport and it’s sooooo warming and yum. Plus it’s easy enough for the kids to help make and that’s always a win. We started making this because we have found spinach one of the easiest things to grow in our garden.
