I have not written a blog in a long time, I have been slugging away at an assignment on the social and emotional development of pre-school children. It was the hardest assignment I have had yet in college but definitely the most interesting. I am thinking of doing some posts called what I learnt today; to share some of the most interesting things I have learnt so far but I don’t know if I can find the time really juggling ‘Mummy’, ‘Wifey,’ ‘Chef,’ ‘Cleaner’ and now ‘Student’ is proving very difficult. Quick dinners are something that have helped me to create a little more time in my evenings as I just don’t have time to throw those complex gourmet meals together the way I used to. Ok who am I kidding I have always always been lazy in the kitchen and the quicker something is to make the better.
In the lead up of the Dublin Bay taste and music festival I have been thinking a lot about food. My hubby recently had a birthday and I got him this great book Jamie Oliver 30-minute Meals. I figured it was a double present he could enjoy cooking from it but also enjoy my cooking from it; I tend to stick to the same four or five recipes and rotate them.
There is a great Jamie Oliver recipe that I use all the time; I have replicated it here as I remember it so it may be slightly different to the original. It is such an easy and tasty meal that I cook at least once a week. If you are a sea food fan this in one for you, if you are looking for some really tasty recipes checkout Jamie Oliver online, he is a bit of a genius when it comes to food. http://www.jamieoliver.com/
