Tonight's supper (forgot to take a photo) was homemade Tomato & Basil Penne. I was going to add aubergine but I got home too late from visiting my sister and forgot to cook the aubergine until it was too late. Alongside the main dish we also had garlic spinach which was cooked in butter.
I have "strange" children when it comes to eating. Though we've had our share of disliked foods over the years (yes, I'm looking at you G), my kids eat amazingly well. There is little that they won't at least try. Z & E have always been more adventurous but even G will now eat much more than she used to. If she doesn't like something then she'll happily go off and cut up some salad instead.
Tonight's sauce consisted of chopped and sauted onions and garlic, fresh tomatoes and a box of passata. The addition of some balsamic vinegar and a little brown sugar with lots of seasoning was perfect. All that was needed at the end was to stir in some fresh basil.
Z was very helpful and did some of the prep before I got home. That sped things up considerably. At 15, he's quite good in the kitchen. He's brilliant at making Ramen dishes and is working up quote a repertoire of other dishes. E is also pretty good. By the time they leave home they should be able to fend for themselves fairly well. G has also caught the cooking bug and has become quite a good baker.
