Welcome to my blog on all things food, family and fun.
Let me introduce myself. I am the mother of 2 sons and the grandmother to two little boys too. I am also a wife to a wonderful husband of 30 years this year, a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin and a friend. I love my family of course but I also love cooking and entertaining - there is nothing better than a group of family and friends gathered around a table sharing food, drinks and chat.
But sometimes we run ourselves ragged trying to achieve perfect meals, parties, etc. and as I am rather lazy, I have always tried to achieve the best and easiest way to do things. I will share those with you here and if you have any labour saving tips please email them to me.
Learning to cook is such a great thing to do. You can make those family meals for much less than you would pay for ready meals from supermarkets. Not only that, but you know exactly what has gone in to each dish.
I love finding ways to economise with food. I believe you can have delicious food without blowing the budget and achieving this has become a bit of a challenge for me. I love being able to make meals for a small amount of money and I will cover this in my 'BUDGET MEALS' section.
Many people find the thought of throwing a dinner party daunting but if you are organised and learn a few simple dishes you will be able to do this almost with your eyes shut. And when you think how little it costs to produce a fine meal compared to restaurant prices, it really is something everyone should learn.
As I have said, I am rather lazy and there is no person better than a lazy person to learn the quick and easy ways to achieve a job well done! I hope to share tips I have both read/heard and/or found out for myself with my readers.
So, currently I am gathering recipes to share and taking photographs of meals to add to this blog. I hope to have the blog up and running before the end of January.
If you have any recipes, hints or tips you'd like to share, I'd love to receive them. Please email them to foodfamilyfun@gmail.com
