Pork Souvlaki

As well as a great family dinner, this is ideal for lunch. Make extra pork and for dinner, serve it with rice and Greek salad. The next day, put the extra cooked cubes in a container to enjoy cold for lunch. Send along some pita bread and put some tzatziki in another container for your child to assemble a very tasty sandwich at school.

Pizza Puff

A favourite pasta sauce and bread team up any time to make a popular meal. Use up any stale bread (or hasten the process yourself, see Tip below) and any cheese that you have on hand as long as it isn't too salty — soft or hard, low-fat or regular. Spoon the soft cheeses such as ricotta and shred any others such as mozzarella, provolone, fontina or Cheddar. A crunchy-fresh leafy salad completes the meal nicely.
