Revisiting family favourites

I’ve been revisiting recipes that have been some of my old school recipes and family favourites that were our staples when we got started as clean eaters. I first posted this recipe in 2015 , at that time, the kids were fussy, vegetables had to be hidden and disguised, and there was no potential for intense flavours or spice. 

Times (thankfully) have changed, the kids have grown (like man-sized grown), and they now enjoy a wide range of foods. Things like vegetables are enjoyed, spice and chilli are consumed without complaint, and new ingredients are tried without tantrums.

I’ve been revisiting recipes that have been some of my old school recipes and family favourites that were our staples when we got started as clean eaters.

Times (thankfully) have changed, the kids have grown (like man-sized grown), and they now enjoy a wide range of foods. Things like vegetables are enjoyed, spice and chilli are consumed without complaint, and new ingredients are tried without tantrums.

As the kids have grown my recipes have changes organically to meet their palates and preferences, I’ve updated this recipe because of that, but fear not, all I have done is make it a little bit better.

Spicy, not bland

My previous experience of fish cakes was of bland white burger-shaped food that was a bit blah. I used a recipe from a food magazine as the base for this but swapped out some of the ingredients to clean it up. It’s a great way to use up leftover cauliflower rice or fish if you get leftovers that is.
