Summer is on the way and if the gorgeous weather outside is anything to go by, we are in for a hot one this year, people.
But by this time of year we can all use a little bit of fun in the sun, and what better way than to pack a picnic basket and head out to the park or the beach?
If, like me, you are tired of remaining indoors and eating those heavy, but delicious, winter stews, soups and breads, then you know it’s time to take out your summer wardrobe and hit the outdoors.
Of course, now that we want to be out and about, we no longer want to spend so much time in the kitchen.
How to make hummus and grilled vegetable wrap
But not only is it expensive to treat a family to fast food, it’s also not very healthy, especially if you’re trying to shake off a few winter rolls.

I buy the packs and just heat them up a little bit before filling them with anything from Nutella and bananas, to leftover curry topped with cheese. My girls will have it even without any filling.
