Cheese and Bacon Scrolls

Today I made some cheese and bacon scrolls with the kids for their lunches this week at school.  This is a family favourite and so easy to make using the dough setting in the bread maker.  Eme started off helping ...

Then Hudson decided to get in on the act which he tends to do now he can carry his stool over to the bench.

We made cheese and bacon and vegemite and cheese scrolls.  We subsituted MeadowLea for the usual butter and I have to say no one could taste the difference, they were delicious. 

As you can see the kids gave them the thumbs up!

MeadowLea luncbox switcheroo project

I have been lucky enough to participate in a number of projects through thesoup.com.au .  They are an awesome marketing company that will periodically send you products to trial and report back on how you enjoyed the products.  This time I was lucky enough to be invited along as an official blogger for the MeadowLea switcheroo project. 

This project invites users to switch from butter to MeadowLea which in a year can save you up to 2.5kg of saturated fat.  The soup sent me a replica of 2.5kg of saturated fat modelled below by my husband.
It was gross and did make me put down my kit kat that I was halfway through munching!
So with a large tub (because I love value) I set about making the kids lunches using MeadowLea instead of the usual Western Star. 
My fussy eater who will can smell salad before she has opened her lunch box was the luck recipient of a banana, apple and honey roll made using the MeadowLea spread.


For my healthy child, meaning Mac I made chicken breast rolls, with Meadowlea spread, spinach leaves, grated carrot, baby beetroot and dijionaise. 

The Rolls were all eaten as evidenced by the ball of gladwrap in their lunchboxes and upon questioning was told lunch was awesome, so noone noticed the switcheroo!
