Tuna Pasta Bake

Watch along as Theodora shows us how to make a filling tuna pasta bake. For an extra nutritious meal, use wholemeal pasta. This contains extra nutrients & fibre which helps us stay fuller for longer. Got leftover veg? Lots of vegetables work in this recipe including, peas (add with sweetcorn), chopped pepper or leek (add with the onions), broccoli (boil for 5 mins and add to ovenproof dish). 🧅🥦🌽

Oaty Apple Crumble

Follow Thedora's step by step video and make a delicious, warming Oaty Apple Crumble. Cooked apples are particularly good for our gut health as they release pectin which is a great source of fibre for the bugs that live in our digestive system. Well fed gut bacteria may influence our immune system and even brain health!
