Chicken thighs are a staple in our house but they can get a bit boring. Try this for a tasty mid week supper. Its easy peasy to make.

I knocked this up over Christmas when I was short of a pudding. Its mostly from larder ingredients and is very adaptable to what you have in store. It was a great success and quickly disappeared. If you have the time and inclination you could make the custard yourself. Frozen raspberries will do instead of fresh ones.

Most children love spaghetti and good way of getting more of their five a day into them is to hide veggies in the bolognaise sauce. You can pack loads in and help them eat the rainbow. Serve with a salad to really ramp up the goodness.

When vegetables are so glorious and plentiful time to make this classic soup. With some bread and cheese it makes a lovely summer lunch. In fact its almost a vegetable stew! You can keep it vegetarian or add chicken stock and diced bacon for extra flavour. Without the parmesan and made with vegetable stock it would be suitable for vegans.

I've adapted this from a recipe I found in The Telegraph - there are as many recipes as plates to put them on! It goes beautifully with fish curry. Its equally good with devilled chicken.

This is my daughter's favourite meal served with pasta and tomato sauce and we usually add garlic beans or a salad. Quick and easy to make its a good mid-week supper.

Delicious with roast chicken. Easy to make. Lovely for #Easter!

How to pack as many of your 5 a day as possible. This chilli is pretty vegetable packed. And you can add even more if you serve it with a salad.

Pork escalope with spaghetti and this tomato sauce is my daughter's favourite meal. I usually serve it with salad.
