When we finally come to am agreement on what they will eat we sit on the settee (or if we do picnic style we get a blanket and eat on the floor) which then we have complaints that one has more than the other so they swap food which more often than not ends.in a food fight and me separating them. But no electronic, we discuss our day, any problems or worries. It might seem crazy to most but it works for us.
We try to get together with our family here as often as we can. A good cooked roast is a firm favourite. Its the comforting feeling of home. Though they do love ny lassgne and paella cooked from scratch.
I was in catering originally and love to cook. I rustle up my own takes on foods too. Gurkha chicken and Nasi Gorang have been new recent dishes.
I still have my late mom Good Housekeeping book from 1955 when she married my late father
Family time is the most important. It is bonding and intimate. Meals are so much in shared, love, nurture and time together
I've attached some pictires of family favourites 1/ Homemade Lassgne. 2/ Csntonese Curry and fried rice 3/ White chocolate, Scottish raspberries with vanilla cheesecake is a firm favourite along with my sticky toffee pudding
Cooking dinner can be stressful though as I have two fussy diners!
We often all cook together which is great fun and I find it encourages my girls to eat more.
Money can be tight and I do like to make a homemade dish that will last us a few nights, lasagne is a family favourite and lots of pasta dishes are great too but often we struggle knowing what to eat for a change!
Weekends we always make something our own pizzas or take inspiration from restaurants, this weekend we made another favourite dish which was Spicy nachos.
