This is our dinner tonight….
Chicken bolognaise spaghetti and avocado-organic french beans-cherry tomatoes salad, sprinkled with organic sunflower seeds and drizzled with Japanese sesame seed salad dressing.
Simple and wholesome and the kids loved it!
These days, I am into making salads as it does not involve garlic/ onion peeling and chopping and no stir-frying too. For busy WFHMs like me, we take the shortest way out, without compromising on the kids’ health 🙂
So happy to see my little one enjoying her dinner 🙂
That would be exactly what I’d make when kids were younger. I’d even make more of the sauce and freeze it. I learned another lazy dinner….throw pork shoulder or tenderloin into crockpot for a few hours with whole garlic cloves/ sliced onion/ cup of BBQ sauce ( can of beer also works well, and no, kids will not get drunk!). Then remove, “pull” the pork ie 2 forks to pull apart or shred. Serve with some of the yummy sauce on a bun or even a steamed Chinese-style bun ( check out what David Momofuku does). Leftovers can be frozen. Another approach is stir-frying the leftovers with spaghetti noodles and BBQ sauce and some added vegt. Was a big hit with the family.
Here’s another thing to do with spaghetti. Noodles can be warm or cold…stir in a beaten egg/ parmesan cheese, salt/ pepper. Arrange the prepped noodles in a pie dish or casserole like a pie crust. Then add in spaghetti sauce ( I used meatballs with sauce) , sprinkle on whatever cheese you have,throw in the oven, bake till hot, 20 – 30 mins. I made this for company 2 weeks ago and we all loved it!
Thanks for the great tip Chris! Will try the pork in crockpot soon!
