A Few of our Favourite Family Recipes...

Whether you're at home or travelling, it's often hard to find one meal that the whole family will eat, that's easy and quick to make. Well here at The Playbook Adventure we're on a mission to help make life easy, so we thought we'd share a few of our family's favourites...

PESTO EGGY BREAD:

Delicious Eggy Bread.

Whether you’re camping, heading off on a staycation or just looking for a quick meal to throw together for the family or kids then this is a winner.

All you need is:

• brioche or bread (works well with Gluten Free bread too)

• eggs

• pesto

• veg or salad to go on the side

How to:

🥚 Mix up the eggs and pesto

🍞 Dunk the bread/brioche into the mix

🍳 Fry it in butter or oil

🥒 Serve alongside green veg or salad & enjoy 😊 

CLOSED PIZZA WRAPS:

Yummy Ham & Cheese Pizza Wraps.

Most kids love pizza, but they're not the easiest thing to cook on a camping stove without an oven! So we use tortilla wraps with a tomato sauce and cheese to recreate the pizza taste in a much quicker and easier way. You can even grate some veggies into the sauce for fussy eaters...

All you need is:

• butter or oil

• tortilla wraps (works well with Gluten Free wraps too)

• tomato puree or sauce

• grated cheese

• optional: grated veggies (carrots & courgettes work well)

• optional: favourite pizza toppings (other cheeses, sliced meat, roasted veggies etc)

How to:

🍕 If using grated veggies, fry them in a bit of oil until they've softened, and put to one side

🧈 Add a knob of butter or oil to the pan, and put a wrap into it to heat up, then flip over

🍅 Spread over the tomato paste/sauce

🥕 Add in the grated veg (if using)

🧀 Sprinkle on cheese to cover

🌶 Top with your favourite toppings

🍞 Put another wrap on top and flip over so both sides are warm. Enjoy 😊 

CHEAT CARBONARA:

Creamy Cheat Carbonara.

All you need is:

• glug of oil

• onion

• crushed garlic

• chopped courgette (or green veg)

• lardons (or mushrooms for a vegetarian option)

• cream, creme fraiche or cream cheese 

• parmesan or grated cheese

• pasta, cooked

• green salad

How to:

🧅 Heat the oil in a pan and fry off the onion and garlic until softened 

🥒 Add in the courgette and fry for a few minutes

🥓 Add in the bacon and mushrooms and fry until cooked through

🧀 Stir in the cream/creme fraiche/cream cheese and a big handful of parmesan or grated cheese

🍝  Add in the pasta and stir through until warm

🥗 Serve alongside a green salad & enjoy 😊
