Good Morning Lovelies, 

Growing up, I was a school dinners kid. Until I decided that I wanted my mum to make me a packed lunch instead. Something I think came from the fun shopping to find the right lunch box to house it in. 

From crisps to wraps, she always tried to make the best meals to fuel my day. Including baking up some real delights. However, they were of the more sweet kind than the recipe I have to share with you to day. Both of which are truly delicious! 

Using only a few kitchen staples, these cheesy vegetable muffins are a great sandwich and salad replacement that are both tasty and delicious. The whole family will love these and the change in packed lunch finds will be a real winner too. It’s time to tuck into these tasty to these wonders…
