I don't normally post a whole lot of recipes here because, you know, I'm not exactly a gourmet cook! I mean my husband eats my food and says he likes it... but he's got to... right?! :)
However my parents are away on holiday and so my younger siblings are home alone... so I've ended up feeding them a good bit the last week. Last night Trev was at work at dinner time and they were over so I decided to make one of our favourites from Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food. When cooking for them it's always somewhat taxing because 1) they are INCREDIBLY fussy eaters and 2) they are my siblings so they will tell me exactly what they think of it- so if it's awful, they'll say! So last night when my brother thought dinner was 'amazing' and my sister even ate peas; I knew we were on to a winner!
