Hi everybody!

Welcome to my new blog! 

This blog is all about recipes, food, cooking, shortcuts, kiddies meals, one-pot meals, end-of-the-month dinners and everything inbetween.

I am a mother of 3 (1 girl and 2 boys) and have discovered over time what to feed them so that they are healthy without me sweating over tons of dishes or the bank balance at the end of the month. So most of these recipes will be from my own tries, and some are known recipes with a little tweak to make it easier - or more affordable.

Your comments are welcome! Please read, cook and share - food is after all meant to be fun!!
