We have just started our next round of our FREE Freezer to Lunchbox 5 day cooking challenge! This round is all about swapping the sandwich. Each day for 5 days we cook one new non-sandwich lunchbox recipe. We are keeping that theme going on the Facebook Page this week. I will be posting some great freezeable lunchbox recipes for you to enjoy!
This is a quick and easy dish that kiddies love and is perfect for the lunchboxes! You can sneak in any extra veggies you like to which is great and you can certainly add some shredded chicken or ham to the recipe too for a meat option.
These are a little on the blander side to be a little bit more kiddy friendly but feel free to add additional flavourings to these.
