Feed Your Family started off as a small Facebook group with the aim of helping to re-educate a generation of parents who are relying on expensive ready meals and jars of sauce to feed their families.

We post recipes, tips and advice and in just over a year we have built up a following of over 500,000 people and we love to carry on spreading the work that we do.

00Garlic Butter SpaghettiNormally, we focus on meals for families, but occasionally, we get asked for meals to suit 1 person. This is my favourite 1 portion meal that is ready in under 15 minutes, and can be as simple or as complex as you want. It can be adjusted to feed as many as you wish and adapted to use whatever you have in the fridge at the time. My favourite optional extra is King Prawns if I get them reduced. Eve x
00Treacle SconesMemories of my Nanna and Mum making these on a Sunday morning for a wee treat through the week. The hint of sweetness from the treacle meets the spice from the cinnamon and melts on your tongue for a touch of nostalgia. Why not give these a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
00Slow Cooked Minted Lamb ShanksLamb shanks can be tough, so cooking low and slow is the answer if you want soft succulent meat. Using the Slow Cooker is one of the best and easiest ways to ensure it's melt in the mouth tender. Seared first to seal in all the flavour, rubbed with your favourite marinade- mint in this case and then slow cooked for 4-6hrs. You could also do this in the oven, but the SC is much more economical. I've made my mint sauce.... (Recipe at the bottom of the page) but you can use a jar. This feeds 2 but it's easy to adjust the quantities to feed 4 or more. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
00Warm Noodle Salad with a Sweet Chilli DressingFresh Egg Noodles are great if you want a quick and easy lunch or dinner. They are the Asian equivalent of pasta so only require a few minutes cooking. The long flat strands of the noodles hold on to a sauce really well, and by adding a few extra ingredients you have a filling meal in no time. I added some vegetables, some cooked meat (ham and chorizo) that needed using up, and some Sweet Chilli sauce (recipe on the website) and had a filling meal in under 10 minutes. This can easily be adapted by changing the vegetables, or the meat and using a shop bought sauce. This feeds 2 but can feed 4 by doubling up the ingredients.

00Tagliatelle with Sweet Chilli Steak RaguSteak ragu? I hear you ask. We all deserve a treat now and then and this dish is mine. Beef steak simmered in a rich tomato sauce till its melt in the mouth tender. I've cooked this on the stove but it can also be done in the Slow cooker. It's easy to adapt to you and your families tastes so why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
00Beetroot and Tomato SoupThis is a very forgiving recipe. The principle ingredients are Beetroot and Tomatoes, but then I added a red pepper, some wonky carrots and brussel sprouts that needed using up (No, you don't see or taste them once they are blended), along with Spinach and Chives, and it made 4 bowls plus 8 for the freezer! It's speedy, fresh, and full of nutrients. I'm sure you and your family will enjoy this recipe as much as mine did. Whilst I've done this in the Ninja Foodi, it's just as easy to do on the stove or in the Slow cooker. I used fresh beetroot that I had previously pressure cooked - you can find the instructions for this on the website. It's easy to adapt this recipe to suit your own tastes.

00Pressure cooked BeetrootThis is more of a "how to" than an actual recipe but it's worth knowing nonetheless. Prep work is important, as it saves time in the long run, saves waste and helps you plan meals more efficiently. Especially when you buy a load of reduced veggies or have a glut of some things that, on their own don't make a meal, but if prepped and stored correctly can be as important as the main ingredients of a meal. Vegetables are the backbone of our meals and are easy to prep and store, or freeze for another day. Beetroot is one of those that I love to prep in advance. I can then add it to soup, salad or various other dishes. I pressure cooked mine in the Ninja Foodi, but you could cook it in the Slow cooker or on the hob instead.
