]]>I am always trying new recipes that give old ideas and ingredients new life. If you have the same old meals on the menu every week you become bored so it’s always nice to have something exciting and different. When you hear the ingredient sausages you instantly think of bangers and mash or a sausage sizzle and while these are delicious comfort foods, this chipolata sausage cassoulet recipe with parmesan cheese garlic bread is to die for!

]]>The post Delicious and Easy School Lunches + IGA GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>With school starting back this week it’s time to start thinking about getting organised and getting a head start on lunches. I like to have a stock pile of goodies in the freezer ready for the boys lunches and having a range of options already prepared makes lunch different and exciting each day. I started doing this so I didn’t have to put too much thought (or effort) into packing the kids lunches during the week and having the options in the freezer means I only have to add the basics to their lunchboxes. There are lots of great options that are suitable for morning tea, lunches and even afternoon tea.
I make sure there are always a few staples ready to go and these are usually chocolate chip cookies, banana muffins and double chocolate chip muffins (shown below). What I love about these recipes is that are easily adjustable to suit your taste and nutritional needs. Your local IGA caters to most dietary needs which I found out when my sister was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. IGA has a huge range of gluten free, lactose free and even culture specific foods which can be used as alternate ingredients in my recipes. Click over to their facebook and Instagram pages to check out local stories, inspiration and ideas. I am also running a giveaway for IGA Australia to help you get organised for getting back to routine which you can enter here!
I want to share with you my personal favourite Double Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe so you too can get a head start on keeping the kids’ lunches exciting and delicious with minimal effort required. I love this recipe because it is so easy to make and the muffins are always moist and delicious!

]]>The post Entertaining Made Easy + Loads of Recipes! appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Entertaining can be a stressful experience regardless where you live, though I must say when you are confined to the walls of a small dwelling or apartment it can take it to the next level and make you rethink ever hosting again (in your home anyway). It’s not only the lack of space you have to prepare the ingredients and cook your meals that makes for a frustrating event but trying to find the room to dish up, present and serve your meals can be near impossible. Then you can often throw kids into the mix and all their special dinnerware, cups and bottles and you’re really left with no space.
Unfortunately when you are entertaining and trying to have an enjoyable time the last thing you want or feel like doing is hand washing dishes just to make room on the bench so you can pour a drink or prepare the food. This is where the Fisher & Paykel DishDrawerTMmakes for the perfect appliance in not only a small kitchen but any household. They come in a variety of options to suit every family’s needs and lifestyles. It doesn’t matter if you are big on entertaining or a quiet family with young children; there is a DishDrawer designed to fit your kitchen and your requirements. Just because your kitchen is deficient in size and lacks space doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the conveniences of having a dishwasher to help out with your daily tasks of washing dishes and entertaining guests. The DishDrawer has so many benefits that I can’t list them all but the ones that grab my attention the most are that it reduces water usage, saves you money and comes in a range of sizes: single or tall and double or extra wide so there always a dishwasher to fit your kitchen design – you can even get a dishwasher installed where you would normally have a drawer!
If you are planning on entertaining or even just looking for something delicious to serve up that doesn’t require too much effort to prepare (or too many dishes) than here are some of my favourites. Garlic and Chilli Prawns on rice, Thyme and Lemon Pork Belly, Thai Coconut Chicken on rice, Tomato Bacon and Basil Soup, Chilli and Chorizo Fettuccine and Creamy Bacon and Basil Gnocchi. Once you are finished cooking let simply stack the dishes into the dishwasher and you can enjoy the rest of your night while Fisher & Paykel take care of the soaking and scrubbing for you.
This is an S1 POST.
