The summer holidays now seem like a long distance memory, With myself and my hubby back at work and the boys back into the school routine, it can get a little crazy around here so its important everything in our home runs as smoothly as possible. Which normally means as soon as the boys come home from school,they are hungry and want some to eat, which means i have to have to prepare something quick simple for tea.
So i was ever so delighted to take part in the Bird Eye after school Chefs Challenge with Bird Eye.
Birds Eye Products are one of our all time family favourites, so it was great to take on the challenge, with two hungry boys everyday at tea time this meal is an important part of the day. We often opt for quick and simple options, Here are two of our favorite Fish Finger wraps and Bird Eye Rice Infusions teamed with Bird Eye Inspirations - Pink Salmon in a sweet chili and ginger sauce.
But we wanted to share one of our all time favorites Spicy Couscous & Birds Eye Petits Pois & Waffle Croutons. A very simple quick and healthy meal which the boys love.
