Family meals don’t need to mean hours in the kitchen or a mountain of washing-up. These crisp chicken nuggets are a healthier homemade favourite that kids absolutely love, while the lamb lollipops are fun and surprisingly simple; the stuffed pitta pockets, meanwhile, are perfect for lunches, after-school dinners or eating on the go. Above all, all three dishes are built for real family life: quick, full of flavour and designed to make mealtimes a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.Lamb lollipops with mint yoghurt dip and pickled cucumber (pictured top)This delicious recipe is a firm family favourite, and it’s ready in no time. Children love anything on a stick, especially when they get to dip it into a creamy yoghurt sauce. You can cook these in the oven, if you prefer – they won’t be quite as golden or crisp, but they’ll still taste lovely.Prep 10 min
