With leftover boerewors from Sunday’s braai you can make a quick, tasty tomato frittata to liven up Monday’s lunch box.

You can add any other leftover veggies, such as roast potatoes or mixed peppers, to keep things interesting. If you don’t have boerewors use any protein you have in the fridge, such as bacon, ham, and chicken, all of which work well. One can easily double this recipe for extra servings.

That ever-present tin of tuna lurking in the back of the cupboard and pack of mini-pitas in the freezer can give rise to mini-pitas with tuna, carrots and lettuce.

Whipping up these tasty morsels takes just minutes. They can be served with home-made (or store-bought) tzatziki.

Chicken meatball skewers are a flavourful addition to any lunch box.

One can easily make the meatballs the night before and just create the skewers before popping them into lunch boxes.

Vetkoek with feta and biltong, a super-easy recipe gets an even more “local is lekker” twist with the addition of biltong. But it is important to make sure the biltong is nice and dry, or else one will struggle to chop it finely. The feta in the centre is a yummy surprise when you bite into it.

Sunday nights are mini flapjack nights for many, and with the leftovers that are always there you can make mini-flapjack mini-pizzas.

The leftover flapjacks can be used as quick pizza bases. Any toppings available can be used and one can get creative, and involve the little ones too! Just a few seconds under the grill is all one needs to create these tasty treats.
