    You can't stop at one!

    This is a recipe that you can’t stop at only one, I have been making this over and over again just because my kids love eating it. They can be quite fussy and if I have a chance that they like something healthy I tend to stick with it. It tastes great, kids loved it especially the chicken and rice mixed together. They enjoyed the different type of rice as well, not just the normal rice and would definitely recommend MAGGI One Pan to anyone that wants a quick and easy meal.

  • Still going Strong!

    I have said it before and I am saying it again we love Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto. We are still cooking it for the family and each time I see it on special at the supermarket I buy a couple so I always have it in stock in our house. Great for a quick dinner prep and off we go...

    Really find it good value for money and a dinner that we all enjoy especially because its rice and chicken but it also has those vegies that are really good for your body.

    It is always a winner in this household.

  • Maggi 1 pan Risotto

    I love risottos but I usually am not too successful with making them myself - for a long time I gave up trying and just having plain rice as a side dish. Maggi 1 pan Risotto was really quick and easy, I will be buying again, would like to try the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Risotto.

    Love that you can chuck it all in and let it cook itself, quick, easy and great for parents who always are busy like myself.

    Have made this risotto quite a few times now, my family have become a fan of this and my kids will actually eat it and ask for seconds (rare). It's great finding a recipe that is quick and easy to make and the family loves. Good for myself when I have finished work and the last thing on my mind is to cook dinner and then I think oh hang on a second risotto is easy, quick and very yummy, hmmm I might cook this!

  • Risotto

    I love risotto yet it seems to take ages to make but now I have found the most easy and quick to make recipe for risotto. I made double for work meals and it tasted better re heated. Xxx. I was unsure about freezing this recipe yet the ingredients kept well for a week.I placed it in zip top plastic bag and froze . They virtually took a up no space.

  • Great Recipe for large family's

    Having a recipe that has all its goodness in one is great, the rice tastes wonderful and fills up your belly and the mixture of the recipe base gives it that extra flavouring, you can really just have the sauce and risotto together and your toddlers would love the flavour. But with all the ingredients put together is an amazing dish, filled with flavours that jumps out of your mouth. The mixture of Chicken, Pumpkin, baby spinach and Risotto rice blended together is perfect, wouldn't want it any other way. Definitely great for large families as it does go a long way.

  • A one pot wonder.

    Wow : I followed Nikki's directions and my risotto turn out perfect. This is truly a one pot wonder meal, quick and delicious and no sink or bench top full of dirty bowls and dishes. I loved the freshness of the dish and the combination of ingredients were perfectly matched.

    Maggi you really are magic.

  • Risotto - what a breeze!

    MAGGI thanks a bunch for simplifying a dish I have always liked the sound of, but never tried. The ingredients were in my fridge and it took no time to prepare, and even less time to eat! The kids really enjoyed it, and there was enough left over for school lunches - yep, my kids like cold leftovers as do I !!! This is one we will add to the pantry and family staple dishes. Thanks again Maggi

  • An average meal

    Unfortunately the kids didn't love this meal. I cooked it exactly as per the instructions. One of our children, I must admit, doesn't like rice so I never expected to change that, but the other two kids were calling it boring and wanted cereal instead - lol.

    My hubby and I didn't really love it and both agreed to try something else instead next time.

    The ease of cooking was definitely there though.

    The flavours weren't offensive - just not as delicious as hoped!

  • Overall very yummy!

    My husband and I loved this, my daughters was a little fussy. It was super easy and it tasted very yummy. It was a flavour mix I wouldn't usually put together but it worked well and was tasty for something different. Will definitely buy again and have recommended to friends. I like the one pan convenience, much better than using every pan in the kitchen

  • Awesome!

    Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto is so very lovely. I just love the combination of pumpkin and spinach!

    My kids enjoy having Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto for dinner as well, and eat everything on their plates.

    Maggi makes cooking risotto so much easier with these one pan dinners. No long continuous stirring required.

    For a quick, tasty, easy risotto, Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto is hard to beat.

    The combination of pumpkin and spinach is a winner for me, and the rest of the family seem to enjoy this too!

  • Easy to use and very tasty!!

    I love using maggi one pan! It easy to use, especially for Mums like myself who aren't good cookers at the best of times.

    The last thing you need is a intense and million step process.

    Its easy to remember and after a few times you even remember what components you need without having to check your list.

    We enjoyed more then the kids, Baby Sam just decided to squish the spinach in his high chair! But most bowls were empty, and i went back for seconds!

  • Quick and easy

    We have had this risotto a few times at home and I love how it is so quick and easy to make. Plus it tastes delicious! I'm not a big pumpkin or spinach fan so we often use this risotto base with just the chicken, and perhaps some beans. Once I added bacon and it still tasted yummy!


  • So easy and so tasty

    I made this for my family and by family I mean 6 adults!!! My husband and I live with my parents and we also have my brother and his wife living with us atm as they are renovating. Plus my 15 month old daughter and their 11 month old son!!

    I brought 2 packets and just doubled all the ingredients, it was so easy to use and loved that you only need one pan!!! Everyone loved the taste and even had seconds! The only thing I would change is there wasn't much chicken in it even when doubling the ingredients. My daughter ate all of hers (but she's not really a fussy eater!) I would definitely make this again as it was really easy and tasty but I'll use more chicken

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

    Reply

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

    Reply

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
