5. CHICKEN AND BACON
ROLL-UPS
Roll-up, roll-up! This dish will put your leftover chicken to good
use – and it doesn’t involve cooking (unless you need to
make the chicken, so focus on leftovers for an easy dish).
But kids really do love these and it makes a good school
lunch. So, get your teens rolling, while you roll over and press
snooze on your morning alarm for another 10 minutes.

4. GREEN BEAN FRIES
We once read a story where the mom was making bean soup.
The child said, “I don’t want to know what it’s been; I want to
know what it is now!” Green beans aren’t the most popular of the
veggies amongst the youth – they seem a little has-been if you
ask me, but if you get your kids to make them this way, they’ll be a
new favourite. And if it’s green you know it’s healthy for your teens.
YIELD: FEEDS 6-8
PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES
Ingredients
• 2 cups green beans
• 1 tablespoon parmesan
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Spices of your choice
COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES
EASE OF RECIPE: EASY
Method
Place the green beans into a
bowl, pour the olive oil, parmesan,
a pinch of salt and your favourite
spices onto the beans.
Stir them well and lay them out
on a baking tray and bake for
200°C until they turn into chips.
Note: You can do this with almost any veggie, and they will taste amazing!
