Friends on Friday - Don't get your Sausage in a Roll

This is a protein and veggie packed easy pesy meal for the whole family - the grownups love them and the little picky eaters eat them! Top it off with a homemade tomato sauce and a yummy garden salad. Just delish! 

My mate Fran, a designer, a busy mum and a business owner put this recipe together she says, ‘I make a batch and freeze them for those quick last minute meals’. Being a busy mum myself I love that this recipe can be made and frozen, served for dinner, afternoon snacks or parties, it ticks all the boxes.

Fran's just launched her spring/summer range of jewelry a must to checkout! www.mooku.com.au
