Episode Six Batch From Scratch - The Evans Family
Catch-em batching this week from Bridgend with the Evans family. Dom and wife Kellie are full-time carers for their two sons, Xander, who has Cerebral palsy, and Lucas with Down syndrome. With next to no time for meal planning and everyone wanting to eat something different, they rely on quick and easy convenience food, hitting their health and pocket. As Dom is the main cook, he worries that he’s not providing enough healthy, nutritious meals within the family budget.
