Well, I'm a Mum to 4 girls aged 25,22,14 and 10. I have a yummy American Husband, we've been married longer than is decent, I was a Child Bride!!!!!! Raising the girls(which hasn't always been easy,(teenagers have been a challenge) and looking after my husband has been my life since dot and is largely momotonous and a bloody grind, BUT I do like to mix it up a bit by cooking different and exciting meals that leave them all saying " Mum, that was great, can I take leftovers to school?) We don't have cafeterias here!! I really need to get a life. I'm 45 and still pick up after the lot of them!! I love some inspiration for yummy family,not too fattening, dinners????!!!!
My favorite things to cook
Italian, Hubbys an American Italian from San Diego.Grills,One pot meals,??? Family stuff, healthy but tasty.
y 10 yr old, Charlie is soooo difficult!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Probably birthday dinners, Christmas. To be honest, I feel kind of burnt out and wish someone else would cook for once!!
My cooking triumphs
My Rissotto is pretty darn good!! I also cook a mean lamb roast!!
My cooking tragedies
Offal, never to be mentioned in this house again. Also corned beef and pickled pork, my dad broke his leg and stayed for a while. Yikes, the kids went on strike. NO more corned anything!!
