I blogged a few times about what we really ate for dinner and people seemed interested, and relieved that they were normal in not feeding their families gourmet food every night, so I took a note of this week’s meals again. The title is a reference to my blogpost last…
This is a very regular feature on our dinner landscape, it’s tasty, it’s eaten by the whole family (including babygirl now too) and it’s on the table in under 15 minutes. If the kids are hovering I employ them in grating the courgette and mixing the parmesan and egg together.…
Butternut squash reminds me of introducing my kids to solids, both boys loved it and it destroyed many’s the bib. For some reason I rarely cook it these days, but all that will change soon as Miss L is about to enter the world of “real food” consumption. The motivation…
I’m getting tired now of posting our dinners, especially when they are like this week’s (nothing to boast about) so this might be the end of this short series. You’ll notice that dinners here at the start of the week are very homemade and healthy and that as the week…

We all know that fish is good for us and that we should include it more in our diets, yet people seem to be wary of cooking it and hate the lingering smell that preparing it in the house leaves. Atlantis Seafood which trades as “Kilmore Quay” in your…
You know the way the supermarkets do special deals on veg? Well, this led to there being an inordinate amount of broccoli in our house during the week, which in turn led me to googling recipes involving broccoli that would mean that I wouldn’t have to go to the shop…
Regular readers will know that I am all about easy recipes, especially those that involve as little washing up as possible. (Aha, cookbook idea “Bumbles of Recipes that don’t involve much washing up”, must remember that one, if you’re a cookbook publishing person feel free to contact me!). I…
