Freeze leftovers wherever you can. Make sure you’re not throwing any veg away (make soup!), and plan, plan, plan! You know I love a one pan recipe (I’ve even written a book full of them!), and seeing as my one pan pastas like Fajita Pasta and Peri Peri Pasta have gone down so well, along with the hit that is my Big Mac Tacos recipe, I fancied trying out a hybrid of the two. What are the staple and versatile ingredients that you’d advise any household to get in if they’re struggling with keeping the cupboards full and nutritious food on the table?

BITE-SIZED:

However, juggling twins and that business, it was time for a change and the more recipes I shared online, I realised that this could actually end up being my day job (it still amazes me that I get to do this thing I love every day as my job). This blog is about how I feed my family whilst busy juggling life. I originally named it as I thought I’d write about parenting, but predictably it ended up being all about food because: You’ve said that the blog opened up worlds for you that had felt closed as a mother of twins. Not only do you help people with food ideas, but you have given people confidence to travel with toddlers. That must have felt wonderful! What advice would you give to people travelling with small people? Massive congratulations – your first book, What’s For Dinner, hit the shelves yesterday. Can you tell us a bit about it?

I’m Sarah Rossi (was Sarah Barnes) and for the last 10 years, I’ve shared recipes online to help make your life easier. about me: Sarah Rossi

HarperCollins reserve the right in their reasonable discretion to substitute any prize with a prize of equal or greater value. Pasta and potatoes of course, but also don’t forget protein in your meals as that’s what will keep everyone full for longer. Lentils and pulses are a brilliant source of affordable protein and can be used to ‘bulk up’ so many meals. Also, frozen and tinned vegetables are often much better value than fresh. I’ve always loved eating, does that count? My mum cooked with me when I was a child which gave me a good start. I find the routine of a home cooked dinner each night, in a busy and sometimes fraught world, very comforting.
