Being veggi myself, I would have loved both of these dishes. I laughed about the 'barely disguised gagging'.

Your recipe challenge is a great idea. We have just joined Hello Fresh here, who deliver three meals with all the ingredients and the recipes each week. It was great when I worked and I wanted the kids to cook dinner on those days. I think it is good to get out of your foody comfort zone otherwise it tends to fall to the same old each night...<br />Wren xLittle Wandering Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461692611319918593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-14908545588979841352017-02-03T11:57:20.005+00:002017-02-03T11:57:20.005+00:00Well done for trying out these new recipes.

I still want to try making new Filipino dishes though as I do miss them and I also want the girls to try them. I might dig up my Filipino cookbooks and try something new this February.

I don't imagine an all-vegetarian diet would go over very well in my house but we have been practicing Meatless Monday for about a decade and everyone is used to it. Our big problem here is that both children have decided they hate potatoes all of a sudden. Potatoes are awesome! I don't know how anybody can hate them. I make them anyway because I'm mean, ha. I hope they'll get back to liking them again the way they used to, so I'm going to keep trying...Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-34186951813107467512017-02-02T22:27:06.354+00:002017-02-02T22:27:06.354+00:00Glad you had a good months eating in January, I ho...Glad you had a good months eating in January, I hope that February is good too.

This post is quite timely - I cooked risotto tonight the first time in about 2 years after both children used to describe it as 'Ugh, wet rice'but big girl said it was nice and little girl has a cold but said it didn't taste of anything (but then she can't taste anything at the moment!) so not a total loss yet. I put our dinners on the fridge too. I treated myself to a big magnet board from paperchase with a tear off weekly meal planner. I have so much to say on the matter, I think I should write a post of my own...

All four of them are meat and three veg types, which is a shame as I'm quite a good cook, and would love to have more flexibility around meals. I've noticed Sam's taste buds changing now he lives away from home, and Olly will try something new. Alf would eat spag Bol or chicken korma every day. I like vegetarian options, and try to have them myself. I do like the idea of changing the name of a known favourite to something different,just to gauge their reactions; a Mum needs a few private giggles from time to time!<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-60905396090721842092017-02-02T10:30:07.249+00:002017-02-02T10:30:07.249+00:00I could never be vegetarian and even less so vegan...I could never be vegetarian and even less so vegan and be self sufficient in food,impossible to achieve in the UK and have a healthy diet, I love meat but dont eat it at every meal, tofu sorry I find it yuck Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-73564256116618430672017-02-02T09:45:51.472+00:002017-02-02T09:45:51.472+00:00Like most I love veg but sadly love meat more, we ...Like most I love veg but sadly love meat more, we are trying a more holistic approach to our health and are eating a healthier diet.

I really must have a go at something from it again, it has some scrumptious things in it. Mine often tell me they don't like something before they've even seen it. And they'll leave the peppers, green or not. I used to cut yellow ones up really small and try and pass them off as sweetcorn niblets, but everyone has wised up to that one now. It worked with yellow courgettes for a while as well. I shall look forward to seeing what you cook next month. Lots of January things haven't quite happened here either. I shall get around to it all soon I think. Soon. CJ xxCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.com
