☆ Sushi Sandwiches☆ My new favourite way to make sushi for lunch boxes! You may have seen this pop up on my stories in the last couple weeks, and after so many DM's, I just had to make a reel to show you all how it's done. You'll never go back to making rolls again, because this way is quicker, easier, and so much less mess! I've used cucumber, and a tuna + mayo mix, but you can use any fillings you like. If you want to see how I make my sushi rice, scroll back through my reels and there's one dedicated to making sushi rice 🍣 🍣 So who's making this for lunchboxes soon!??? by @feeding_five_frugally

☆ Dumpling Soup ☆ Served 5 of us (2A+1C+2preschoolers) This is ALWAYS loved by the family when I make it. It can be done in 20mins, and feels really fancy and special, when it's really so simple to make, and budget friendly too! You'd easily pay $19 for ONE serve at a restaurant, but you can make this cheats version, for the whole family, for the same price! 》NEED • 4 tbsp Kikkoman's Dashi Tsuyu Japanese Soup Base Sauce <$1.50 • 1L chicken stock $2.25 • 400g udon / hokkien noodles (wok ready / fresh) $1.79 • 1 bunch brocollini $2.50 • 700g prawn hargow $10.99 • Pantry staples: 1tsp salt, 4tsp sugar, your choice of garnish - sesame seeds, chilli flakes, chilli oil, furikake, etc 》》Total cost $19.03 * Used only a small portion of the bottle 》PREP None 🎉 》COOK - place hargow into a Bamboo Steamer over a pot of simmering water & steam. - in a saucepan, place chicken stock, soup base sauce, salt & sugar. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 1 min. (If your dumplings or hargow come with any soy sauces or dipping sauces, that might work well in the broth too. I added the sauce sachets from the aldi prawn hargows into the broth 👌) - I take a shortcut, and add the noodles to the simmering broth for 2mins to cook, then remove. - I then add the brocollini to the simmering broth for 4mins and remove. - place noodles in serving bowls, followed by hargow & brocollini. - spoon the broth over each bowl - finish with sesame seeds or your choice of garnish by @feeding_five_frugally

⛺️ What we eat while camping - Day 2 - LUNCH ⛺️ ☆ Cheeseburgers ☆ Each burger had: • Brioche bun • meat patty • sliced bacon • sliced cheese • lettuce • tomato sauce Served with packet French Fries on the side. I had some fruit leftover from yesterday's lunch, so served that again to make sure it gets eaten. As I'm intolerant to red meat + bread, I cooked some pork sausages on the BBQ and served with similar fillings on a wrap. Another lunch done. Minimal mess. Minimal effort. Full bellies 😍 ⛺️ Hit save to make this on your next camping trip, and watch this space for more great camping meal inspo Or comment CAMP for a quick link to all our previous camping meals in the past! ⛺️ #campfood #camping #campingfood #camplunch #campinginspo by @feeding_five_frugally

⛺️ What we eat while camping - Day 2 - BREAKFAST ⛺️ ☆ Breakfast Burritos ☆ These were pre-made at home, so all I needed to do when camping, was heat them up + toast them on the grill plate. No mess. No fuss. Can do other tasks while these are heating up. And then your fed a full breakfast, warm, toasty and filling. 😍 Each burrito had scrambled eggs + cooked bacon + hash browns + shredded cheese + BBQ sauce. Rolled up. Placed into a container, and into the car fridge. Trust me, the camping version of you will LOVE the organised version of you, when you sit down to a meal like this to start the day! 😍 ⛺️ Hit save to make this on your next camping trip, and watch this space for more great camping meal inspo, Or comment CAMP for a quick link to all our previous camping meals in the past! ⛺️ #campfood #camping #campingfood #campbreakfast #campingmeals by @feeding_five_frugally

⛺️ What we eat while camping - Day 1 - LUNCH on arrival ⛺️ ☆ Picnic Style ☆ We always arrive to the campsite around lunch time, which means there's the juggle of setting up the tent, watching kids, and making lunch all at the same time. I usually have a picnic lunch pre-packed for this reason, with easy access so we can reach it straight away. Some simple planning ahead like this, makes meals a whole lot easier 🙂 Today we had: • Wraps: shredded chicken + shredded cheese + cucumber + mayo • Cheese Sticks • Selection of fruit • Oreos • Sour lollies ⛺️ Hit save to make this on your next camping trip, and watch this space for more great camping meal inspo, Or comment CAMP for a quick link to all our previous camping meals in the past! ⛺️ #campfood #camping #campingfood #camplunch #campinginspo by @feeding_five_frugally
