In this post I share 3 recipes that I think your kids will love (because my kids do!)

1. Homemade Doner

A delicious and healthy alternative to takeaway doner.

1. Add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix with your hand or a large spoon until wee combined.
2. Transfer half the mixture onto a sheet of baking paper or foil, and flatten to create a thin layer of meat (0.5cm in thickness). Place the rest of the mixture onto a second sheet of baking paper/foil
3. Place the meat onto oven racks, and bake in the centre of oven for 7 minutes or until brown. Turn doner meat halfway to cook evenly (optional).
4. Slice the meat into 1 inch wide strips using a pizza cutter or large knife.

1. Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cut salami slices into small squares and mix with the eggs, then mix in the cheese.
3. Transfer the mixture to a jug, then pour it into the muffin tray, splitting the mixture evenly between the cups.

3. Mini Chicken Bites
