Food this week

Dear Family & Friends

If it's not gardening that takes my time, it would be food preparation. That's part of a mother's job description, I suppose. Well, it certainly all adds up excitement for our family!

Salad and pita bread for a starter
Our family partakes and shares the joy of everyday life. We are all one as a unit! We all share responsibility and we take pride in doing them.

My little girl baked us filo pastry that was rolled and filled with feta cheese
My little girl as always seem to want to take over my kitchen. She enjoys feeding us for some reason!! I think it's because we couldn't resist her offer either!!

Sushi of any kind always brings a lot of joy to this family
Not everyday finds me inspired in food preparation...some days are better than others. When I feel lousy, I sometimes just prepare sushi with very basic filling such as eggs etc...  The man in our house would say: WOW! we have starter meal today...what's our main course? and my response is: "I'm afraid, that's 'the' main course, dear..". Believe me, even with just sushi rolls on our table, my little family will finish them with great joy and contentment!

As always, there's the weekly homemade ricotta cheese for sandwiches
In the kitchen, there's always some staple food prepared and stored in the fridge for quick sandwich fillers and snacks such as the weekly cheese making, all done by the two girls.

Life is simple and happy...for as long as we have contentment in our hearts. Enjoy your everyday life too...because that's important:)

Yours

  3. The ricotta looks like a good sandwich filling, how do you make it? As for food, some daysI rreally struggle with what to cook for tea. My girls love helping me cook, but I'm not sure how much help they are!
