Chicken and Pumpkin Risotto

This risotto is incredibly easy to make, using only 10 ingredients it’s packed full of protein, iron and vitamins A and K. The recipe also calls for silverbeet which if you haven’t heard of it, is a type of leafy green but you can also easily opt for spinach instead if you prefer.

Halloumi, Roasted Pumpkin and Spinach Frittata

I love making frittatas as they keep so well for the week ahead and can honestly be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This frittata combo is heaven, but honestly, they’ll work with any veggies you have lying around like broccoli, spring onions, capsicum, asparagus, peas, cherry tomatoes or mushrooms. A little on this recipe – it calls for banana flour but you can totally use regular flour instead!

Maple Pumpkin Bowl

This recipe truly leans into the sweetness of pumpkin. The pumpkin is drizzled with maple syrup and then is given a sprinkle of cinnamon which once baked gives the pumpkin a deliciously sweet and maple flavoured glaze. The other ingredients are simple and fresh which let the pumpkin sing! This is also a great recipe for meal prepping, just be sure to cut your avocado fresh each morning to avoid it going brown.

Creamy Pumpkin Fettuccine

This pasta is what dreams are made of. Although the recipe calls for fettuccine, I’ll often use one of the KIC pastas as it’s a super simple and delicious way to pack in a little more protein. I also love that this recipe is vegan, however if you can easily use regular sour cream and parmesan if you’re not plant-based.

Creamy Mac and Cheese

This is comfort food at its finest and a guaranteed meal to get the family, especially the kids excited for dinner. I’m always told by friends with kids that they love how well this recipes masks the veggies and made from whole ingredients which makes it so much better for you than the stuff out of the box.

Pumpkin and Halloumi Salad

Most of you will know my obsession with halloumi and this salad is yet another way I can enjoy one of my favourite cheeses. I also love making this one for dinner parties or a gathering and so depending on the number of guests, I’ll often double the recipe so that it can serve the number of guests comfortably as a side!
