Budget Bites

Healthy(ish) recipes for hungry college kids. 

College life is full of learning curves—

cooking shouldn’t be one of them.

Give your student the gift of good food, simple instructions,

and a side of “you’ve got this.”

This little recipe book didn’t start as a business idea…
it started as a mum standing in a kitchen, realising her baby was about to leave it.

I created it for my son—
because suddenly, I couldn’t make his meals anymore.
I couldn’t remind him to eat something green.
I couldn’t stock the fridge with “just in case.”

And if you’re here… you probably get that.

So this became my way of still caring from a distance.
A way of saying, “I’ve got you”… even when I’m not there.

Inside, you’ll find simple, affordable meals—
the kind that fit into messy schedules, tight budgets, and late nights.
Food that fuels study, friendships, and growing independence.

But it’s more than recipes.

Scattered through these pages are little notes…
the kind you’d usually say across the kitchen bench.
Memories. Encouragement. Gentle reminders.

The things we still want them to hear.

And this is where it becomes yours.

Because every meal you send them off with…
every recipe they make…
every note they read…

is another quiet way of saying,
“You’re still held. You’re still loved. And you’ve got this.”
