Fay's Family food!


Good morning! 
In the post this morning my new recipe book arrived by Fay Ripley called 'Fay's Family Food'. I had to put a comment up about it because after reading it there is honestly not one recipe that i dont want to make! its fabulous! I have shelves of cookbooks that i have purchased and hundreds of recipes eagerly await me to cook them, i am a firm believer in making one meal to suit all, i have been there and done the whole making 3 different meals a night and i hated it so much that by the end of it i usually skipped mine for some tea and biscuits!
I love food and i love cooking for my family, unfortunately i have a husband who will not eat vegetables...i have tried everything and have resorted to blending them into sauces and such to get some goodness into him...i dont see much change for him on the horizon but i live in hope and still put a potion of veg on his plate. My daughter Phoebe goes through stages of liking something and then squashing it into my carpet the next....life its a battle ground but i stick to my guns and i make the same meal for everyone every night, if he doesn't lie the veg he can pick it out! (i love you)
Anyway back to the book, its fab! she bases all her recipes around cooking one meal for the whole family that can be adapted to suit babies and children's needs and they are all delicious meals healthy and kind to both big and small tummys!, tuscan sausage stew is on the menu tonight! i really does work out cheaper to cook one meal, perhaps bulk cook and freeze some! i love the feeling of having good homemade food in the freezer if i need it for emergencies :)

oh no cradle cap!


My poor little boy Miles has a bad case of cradle cap on his head, he was born with beautiful dark brown punk hair which is now falling out on top :( he has gone from punk rocker to little old man in the space of a week, the doctor prescribed a special shampoo for him which is coconut oil and tar...lovely! but it does seem to be working, we tried olive oil to no avail, i really hope it will grow back as it was cool hair!

an introduction..

Good evening!
 its rather late but im starting to write my new blog (new years resolution). Just a quick comment to say what to expect from my future posts! 
My aim for this blog is to be an honest mum and give honest accounts of my moments in my life, my life changed when i had my daughter over 2 years ago from full time work, parties and romance to full time mummy, gymboree and 'quick the babies are asleep lets have a kiss'. Sounds fun huh? well it is! i love it, believe it or not my life is so much more fulfilling than it used to be, my day from beginning to end it filled with adventure and the odd tea break or two and i plan to let you all in on it! I have a great many hobbies including cooking so i will be posting lots of tasty family recipes and also just everyday things such as reviews and tips
