The Food Monologues

Over the past few days, post the Christmas excesses, I have been thinking more about random foodie thoughts - mainly what sort of food resolutions to make this year as well as what crazy food related experiments and recipes I would like to try in 2016.

It has been a very long while since I last updated this blog - erm seven years in fact.  I guess that has been rather a long time and a lot has happened in that period.  Motherhood being the biggest event and I am now the very proud mama of a growing four year old little boy and the most recent food thoughts have often been on making sure he, and hubby too have good, healthy (though sometimes treats are nice too) food that we can eat as a family.

The Resolutions

1.  Family friendly, easy to make, quick and healthy meals is sometimes a real struggle - especially if I am lacking in inspiration or short on time which is why I should keep notes on meals that work and what doesn't and hopefully be able to draw inspiration from.

2. Keep food waste at a minimum and portion control!  This is not only good for your pocket, the environment but also for the waistline.  The problem when you love cooking is sometimes your imagination runs away with you and you really want to make everything and try everything.  I have a foodie wish list of things I would like try to make that is ever growing but I don't always have willing food tasters.

3. Have fun with food and keep on experimenting - especially with baking and write down the recipes!  Especially the ones that work really well.
