Easy homemade Egg Foo Young 🥚
AD - We love eggs in our house and this easy recipe is the perfect way to feed the family a quick and nutritious dinner.

Egg Foo Young is Mikey’s favourite dish from our local Chinese takeaway so I thought it was about time I created a healthy version at home. 🥡🥢
He said it tasted even better than the bought one and the boys loved it too. Egg foo young is a super affordable midweek meal the whole family will love. 😋

Cheesy Meadow Mushroom Pull Apart Loaf
AD - With the warmer weather ahead it is time to start thinking about eating alfresco.
This cheesy loaf is filled with delicious Meadow Mushrooms, it is the perfect savoury snack to pack for a picnic or afternoon tea.
You won't believe how easy it is to make, just mix together the dough the night before. Leave it to sit on the bench overnight then roll out and fill with the sautéed mushrooms and lots of grated cheese.
Bake until golden and eat while it is still warm. #sodelicious
