Winter Warmer Dinner Ideas

Chilli

Spice brings the heat and it’s a great way to hide so much goodness that kids might not love on their own! It is an easy one pot wonder, and any leftovers can be frozen for another night. You can use this to make nachos, serve over rice or a baked potato. Here is a great recipe to check out.

One Pot Chicken Stew

Chicken and potato, are staples in the households and make for such a wholesome meal. One pot also means only a little bit of washing up!

Beef Stew

A beef stew is a lovely rich meal full of fiber and goodness. Make this and you’re sure to put a smile on everyones face!

Cottage Pie

An easy low cost meal to make which again can hide a few veg for all the fussy eaters. Proper comfort food! A lentil cottage pie also satisfies the craving for something warm.

Lasagna

We all love a good pasta dish, and lasagna really hits the spot. Substitute the meat out for a vegetarian alternative or just do veg, cheese and pasta. We love to serve this with some chips and homemade coleslaw!

Fish Pie

This is super easy and quick to make after a long days work. We love to crush the potatoes with the skin on and not have it fully mashed, as it adds another texture. You can use any type of fish that you prefer and great for everyone in the family. Here is a recipe we tried recently and loved!

Lentil Curry

You don’t need to include meat for a hearty meal. Lentils are high in protein and are delicious in a curry. Check out the recipe here.

Butternut Squash Soup

What is better than a good bowl of soup? This soup is creamy without all the heaviness of cream, tasty from roasting the veg and perfect for a winters day! Check out the recipe here
