This is a great recipe to use up any cold meats or veggies left in the fridge
These egg muffins can be made in advance. Cook a few portions and freeze the ones you don’t use straight away for another day
Dried fruit are a healthier alternative to processed fruit bars and cheaper too. If possible, try and limit dried fruit to 2 – 3 times a week and always only at mealtimes as eating lots of these things can be bad for your teeth
