For those of us struggling with the tweens, and particularly the female version of ourselves, this is a book recommended to all parents. I’d advise you to read it before they turn 7, and try to implement a few of the ideas as soon as possible. It’s likely this book will be well thumbed by the time they turn 13!

Teenage secrets
January 5th, 2011 These days we tend to hand it all to the kids, and they expect it. The parents that don’t do this will win in the end. Those kids will succeed, will prosper, and will feel proud members of society.
Eggs Wraps
December 15th, 2010 I never thought of wrapping eggs in a Tortilla wrap until I saw a picture if it, but it’s a great idea. Kinda like a egg pancake. I guess you could make pancakes and do it with that too!
Delicious Indian Samoosas
October 27th, 2010 Samoosas are one of my favorite foods. Either vegetarian made with potatoes, or sometimes with minced beef, potatoes and onions inside. I’ve also had chicken ones, and once even a spinach and potato one, they are a versatile meal, and a great lunchbox snack.

Tagliatelle with Ragu and Italian sausage
September 28th, 2010 Ok, so I admit I am not a big one for pasta, and I think some Italian dishes are such a production, you are often too exhausted to eat them afterwards. However, my family seems to think they are great, so he’re’s one with Italian sausage you can try.
For an excellent tasting sauce for this dish of pasta with sausages, be sure to use fresh ones from a butcher or a good Italian deli.
Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche
September 24th, 2010 This mushroom and asparagus quiche recipe has no milk ( it uses soy milk) and no eggs ( we use tofu instead) so can be cooked for vegans as well!

September 22nd, 2010 I love sweet chilli sauce – especially over a soft cheese like Philadelphia. However, I’ve never really tried it in anything else other than a stir fry, so I thought I’d try this mixture and see how it turned out… It’s YUM!
