Fast work! Please can we come for tea Gallivanting and Wobbly? What goes in your stew? Tapas? Not sure what Jambalaya even is but sounds more exciting than anything I offer!

Get yourself a cookery book by somebody whose recipes you like the sound of ( River Cottage veg my current fave) and make yourself cook something from there once a week.

I usually have a stash of bolognese in the freezer but also make that for DD's packed lunch as well some days, so have been holding it back on evening meals.

So have been doing tomato, basil and mascarpone sauce with pasta.

I love carbonara but DD isn't keen.
