Not sure what to cook tonight?

We often feel the same!

That is why we always have some meatballs or patties from our Single Serves recipe book in the freezer, ready to go. They make the healthy choice the easy choice on those "I've had a long day" or "simply can't be bothered" nights.

We have found they work well with a simple mediterranean salad of tomato, cucumber, parsley or some oven roasted diced veggies such as tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini - whatever takes your fancy come meal time!
