When travelling, it can be challenging to have all the ingredients to prepare a flavoursome meal. Add some fussy eaters to the mix and it becomes near impossible. In trying to satisfy two 6 year old boys, I whipped up some bolognese sauce, but didn't have any herbs to add flavour.
Then it dawned on me, I only needed one item to add flavour, our very own Vegetable Stock! So simple, so fast and YUM!
