Pizza Scrolls
Pizza Scrolls are the ultimate family friendly snack, perfect for easy weekend lunches or midweek lunchbox treats. This one simple dough can be home to a whole range of fillings, but the pizza scrolls shown here today are a classic hawaiian flavour.

French Onion Potato Bake
Not for the feint of heart, this French Onion Potato Bake is incredibly rich and full of bold onion flavour. A great accompaniment to a fresh, crisp green salad & BBQ meats. It’s intense, but in a good way. The overnight onions should produce plenty of leftovers. There’s ideally enough in the recipe to make two batches of this potato bake, depending on how heavy handed you are with the onions. It can be easy to overpower the whole thing though so it’s best to err on the side of being more cautious in this case.

Butternut Pumpkin Cannelloni
Pumpkin Cannelloni is a beloved staple in our house. This isn’t your normal spinach and ricotta cannelloni.

Ellen’s Turkey Sandwich
It probably seems crazy to dedicate a whole blog post to “just” a turkey sandwich. Over the years with various diet trends and fads the humble sandwich has fallen greatly out of favour. Pairing a high fiber bread with lean proteins and vegetable fillings can actually result in a very favourable macro profile. If a single sandwich doesnt feel like enough volume to carry you through the afternoon you can add in a low calorie & high volume side (i.e. popcorn, carrot sticks, etc.). Alternatively you can pack a quality afternoon snack like my High-Protein Vegetable Slice . FAQ Key Ingredients
