4 recipes to make this Halloween mid term break

Halloween midterm is nearly here, and if you're looking for some fun, easy recipes to make with the kids, I've put together four family favourites that are perfect for the school holidays!

Here is 4 recipes to make this Halloween mid term break, perfect for baking with the kids! I love having a few simple recipes up my sleeve for midterm break. Whether we’re spending the day at home, getting ready for Halloween, heading out on a family adventure or planning a little car picnic, having some homemade food ready to go makes life that little bit easier.

This year, I’m making the most of delicious Irish seasonal butternut squash with two comforting recipes that are perfect for autumn. I’ll also be making some easy Apple & Date Oat Bars for lunchboxes and snacks, along with my Super Soft Milk Bun Bread Rolls, which are always a hit with the kids!

I love using budget-friendly ingredients from Aldi Ireland and preparing extra snacks for the fridge or freezer during busy holidays.

Easy Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

This Easy Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect comforting recipe for chilly autumn days. Made with seasonal Irish butternut squash, red onions, garlic and a hint of mild curry powder, the vegetables are roasted until tender before being blended into a smooth, creamy and flavour-packed soup. It's budget-friendly, packed with vegetables and loved by the whole family. NB: The images show a larger amount of veg than stated in the recipe.
