Kids lunchbox inspo 🌟

Thanks for all the love on the lunchbox inspo series - I hope it's been helpful. Maternity leave coincided with the start of Rosy's new school (which requires us to send a lunchbox with - something we previously didnt have to do!), so I've had extra time on my hands. To keep myself accountable and to try make things interesting, I thought I would share some of her lunchboxes with you (for inspiration, feedback and suggestions!). A friend also suggested that I share what they look like at the end of the day, so I've been sharing those when I remember, too.

I usually make these lunchboxes the night before to give me more time in the mornings, straight after dinner, and little madam supervises - she is very invested! Some items get prepared on the morning of, depending on what they are. I try to make the contents colourful - an easy hack to try get all your food groups in. I also made myself a guide of foods for each of the groups (see last slide - and saved to highlights, too) that I know we usually have at home and that Rosy likes, so that the headwork is minimized. All that being said, Rosy has her breakfast before school, and gets a warm lunch at aftercare, so most of the items in her lunchbox are really just snacks and treats to keep her going throughout the day.

Baby brother arrives next week, so there may be a lull in posting - hoping this time wont be years' long 😂

What did you love getting in your lunchbox as a child / what does your child love to get?

PINK PASTA
.
I've been buying these vacuum sealed packs of cooked and peeled beetroot when I'm in the mood for pachadi or a beetroot thoran, but suddenly felt a craving for pasta instead. This is a mashup of a few different similar recipes, but boy, is this yummy! I wasn't planning on sharing it here (hence the boring photo), but it's too good not to share. Please do give it a try if you have a blender!
.
Reshipe:

Cook pasta per package instructions while you prepare the sauce.

Blend until smooth:
500g cooked, peeled beetroot
125g cottage cheese
1 wheel of black pepper feta
Drizzle of olive oil (or as needed)
Squeeze of lemon juice, to taste
Handful of dill, chopped

In a pan:
Dry toast walnuts, then set aside
Wipe pan, then add a drizzle of olive oil
Add dried red chilli flakes, to taste
0.5 Tblsp crushed garlic
Let sizzle for 30 seconds, then add in the blended beetroot and mix well (just slightly warm up, no need to boil).

Add in drained pasta and a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve topped with crumbled black pepper feta, toasted walnuts and chopped basil leaves.

Italian inspired ragu 🤌🏽
.
2 Tblsp olive oil
2 Tblsp butter
1 tsp crushed red chilli flakes
1 Tbslp minced garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
200g pancetta/guanciale/bacon, diced
500g beef and/or pork mince
1 tsp garam masala
125ml dry red wine or stock
50g tomato paste
400g tomato and basil pasta sauce or passata (and 125ml water to rinse jar)
1 tsp dried Italian spice mix
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper/capsicum and 100g baby spinach, chopped, and cute sous chef, whole
.
So, as a birthday gift, I went for a private cooking class with an Italian chef in Italy back in 2021. He didn't tell me to add garam masala to ragu (😂), but that's part of what makes it a reshipe! This is perfect over wholewheat spaghetti or layered into your lasagne. I hope you'll give it a try!
.
Also, voiceovers are hard! Please bear with me as I figure out how to bring this page back to life and share my reshipes with you - and let me know in the comments if there are any dishes you would like reshipes for!

CORNELIA'S SALAD
.
I've always loved a good salad (one with no unnecessary ingredients - lettuce used to be the bane of my existence), but have never really known how to put them together. I know it sounds strange, but salads were never really a thing for us while growing up, so I've only recently started appreciating them. This salad is light, flavourful and a pleasure to eat - on its own, or served as a side with heavier mains.
.

80g Baby salad leaves
0.5 Cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 Spring onion, chopped
.
Beat dressing together and add to the above:
2 Tbsp Olive oil
0.5 Tblsp Balsamic crema or balsamic vinegar*
0.5 Tblsp Honey
0.25 Tblsp Crushed garlic
Salt, to taste
.
Finally, add:
1 Avocado, thick cubes
Handful of toasted Pumpkin seeds
.
*Cornelia recommends using @rozendal_farm's fynbos vinegar

The Korean Wave is heeere 🇰🇷🌊
.
...and I'm here for it! I've been super obsessed with all things Korean lately (kdramas, kpop, fooood) so I thought it was about time that I play around with some Korean ingredients. I found this super easy recipe for a comfort food classic called kimchi jjigae (stew) on @koreanbapsang's website - perfect for today's rainy weather! It's served with rice and probably a few banchan (side dishes) but I didn't make any extras today. I found the kimchi, tofu and soy sauce at the local Asian grocer - and everything else at the supermarket. Enjoy!
.
P.S. Got any cool Kdrama recommendations? 👀

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE ICECREAM
.
This is a hybrid of a few no-churn ice cream recipes that I found on Pinterest. It literally tastes like you are having cheesecake - it's luxurious, flavourful and creamy. If you've never made your own ice cream before, give this one a go. It goes down a treat, irrespective of the weather 😋
.
• Ingredients •
2 cups fresh blueberries
3 Tbslp sugar
3 Tblsp lime juice (juice of half a lime)
1 tub of room-temperature plain cream cheese
1 tin condensed milk
1 Tblsp vanilla essence
500ml whipping cream
Tennis biscuits
White choc - opt
.
• Method •
💛 Heat deep pan on medium. Add blueberries, sugar and lime juice and bring it all to a boil, stirring regularly.
💛 Cook this for about 20 minutes until the berries turn bright red and the sauce thickens, and you can easily mash them with your spoon. At this point, you can remove it from the heat and use a regular (potato) masher to mash the berries into the sauce. Pour it into a bowl, let it cool down, then into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
💛 Whip your cream in a bowl, then keep aside.
💛 In a bigger bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese. Once it has become creamy, add condensed milk and vanilla essence and beat until it is combined.
💛 Fold the whipped cream gently into this mix.
💛 Pour the blueberry sauce into this mix and fold in carefully - about 4 folds (so that you can pretty swirls and not purple ice cream).
💛 Line a loaf tin with clingwrap with enough on either side so that you can fold it over the top.
💛 Pour a third of the cream mix into the loaf tin, then crush about 3-4 biscuits over the top. Pour another third, then top with more biscuits and then pour the rest of the cream over and smoothen out the top. Fold the clingwrap over the top to cover the ice cream. Refrigerate overnight.
💛 Take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving to soften it. Serve with crushed biscuits, shaved white chocolate and fresh blueberries. Yum!

CUCUMBER GAZPACHO
.
Mick and I love serving this cold spicy soup in the warmer months because it's super light and refreshing - and the surprise on guests' faces when they realise that it's cold is priceless 😁 It's always such a hit that we asked our wedding caterers to include it as one of the canapés... So, maybe we should think of this as Wedding Soup from now on! Welcome the warmer seasons with this super easy soup.
.
• Ingredients •
1 large cucumber, peeled
0.5 jalapeño
1 spring onion, chopped
0.5 Tblsp minced garlic
Handful of fresh coriander
Juice from 0.5 lime
250ml double cream yoghurt
60ml sour cream
0.5 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp ground coriander
1 Tblsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Garnishes: a combination of the above, plus microgreens or edible flowers
.
• Method •
💛 Blend everything together.
💛 Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes before serving (up to a day).
💛 Garnish with some finely chopped ingredients like cucumber, spring onion greens, coriander, micro-greens like pea shoots, or edible flowers. Mix a tablespoon of sour cream with 2 tablespoons water to loosen it, then pour it on top as well. by @reshipesza

UMNGQUSHO / SAMP & BEANS
.
This dish takes me back to King William's Town, when my mom would pick me up from school and sometimes go to the Spar across the road. There, after getting our groceries, we would sometimes stop at the hot food counter to buy a polystyrene container filled to the brim with umnqusho, and a simple beef stew, that we would always share 😊 That memory still slaps, and I've been trying to recreate it properly for ages. Thanks to @namhla_mgqibi for the tips! What's your favourite food memory?
.
• Ingredients •
1 cup dry samp and beans mix
4 cups boiling water
1 beef stock cube
Olive oil
0.5 onion, chopped
0.5 green pepper, chopped
1 tsp medium curry powder
0.5 cup water
Aromat, to taste
.
• Method •
💛 Wash and drain your dry samp and beans mix. Add it to the cooker, with the stock cube and boiling water. Pressure cook for 40 minutes. If using Instant Pot, set the IP to sealing. Then, select bean/chili mode and update time to 45 minutes. Quick manual release when it's done. Give it a stir to combine.
💛 In a deep pan, heat some olive oil on medium. Add the onion and green pepper and saute until the onion turns translucent.
💛 Add the curry powder and stir well.
💛 Add cooked samp and beans to the pan, and stir to combine. Then pour in half a cup of water, and stir until all the water is absorbed.
💛 Season with aromat! (No need to add salt because of the stock)
