6 days to go!

Only 6 more sleeps till we move into our new house with it's fantastic new kitchen!!

I am fed up with the boring food we eat and I'm feeling inspired by Sophie Grey of Destitute Gourmet fame http://www.destitutegourmet.com/index.php and by how fast they can cook a delicious meal on Ready Steady Cook! So my new take on family meals is to spend on small amounts of top quality food and see how far we can make it stretch by using it with cheaper ingredients. I;m hoping someone gives me the new Sophie Grey cookbook for Christmas as this will be a great starting place.

Of course the main difficulty is my incredibly fussy 3 yr old who doesn't eat anything saucy and considers fish fingers the ultimate food! The 2 yr old is less fussy and the baby doesn't eat yet so they should be ok :-) I'm really hoping that by exposing her to a more varied diet she will expand her eating horizons. Good theory anyway!
