#SummerSorted Pitta Pizzas


Sainsbury have launched the Summer Sorted campaign, offering practical help and entertainment ideas for parents across the UK this summer. It’s all about getting the best out of the summer holidays – giving inspiration for simple solutions on how to keep the kids fed and entertained, as well as offering practical help to manage the household budget and take advantage of some great promos in-store. The campaign is fronted by three real and inspirational families who will be sharing their top tips, recipes, ideas and more! Find out more at http://inspiration.sainsburys-live-well-for-less.co.uk/campaign/summer-sorted/

As part of the campaign, Sainsbury will be launching a fun competition to encourage readers and their families to upload a ‘platie!’ That is, a photo of their attempt at a Sainsbury’s Summer Sorted recipe uploaded to @Sainsburys with hashtag #Platie #SummerSorted with a chance to win a £200 grocery shop.

The Summer Sorted recipes include Apple Thins, Pitta Pizzas, Meatballs and Sloppy Joes and Yoghurt Buttons and they're quick and simple, as well as very tasty.



They kindly sent us through all the ingredients to try out one of the recipes and it was a unanimous hit with the kids and grown-ups. I love the fact that it's a real timesaver too and needs no forward planning.
