As a Mum of an active (read that as 'always on the go, only stopping to sleep') toddler I am always on the look out for snacks.

I like to keep a small supply in my bag for those times when you are out and about for longer than imagined planned, or which also happens with a very active toddler when lots of energy has been expelled and a snack is in need..

So I have been scouring my recipe files for dinners that fit that criteria.
