Me, the Cook?

This year one of my resolutions is to cook more at home. In a 7-day week, we should have more home-cooked meals than eat out. It has only been 12 days but I am very happy to report that for week 1, I cooked for (the bare minimum of) 4 days & for week 2, 6 days. Feeling quite pleased with this resolution & will push myself further as we progress into 2018.

One of the tricks that I learnt (and observed): how to get the children to eat tomatoes & onions/ shallots/ garlic? Just put them in a blender & mix it to the gravy. Mix it well and the children will not know any better. More importantly, they will not spend too much time sorting/ isolating the non-favourite foods from their plate before eating. Yesterday for one, we had sweet sour fish & the gravy was quite a hit (thanks to the ever-present & wonderful food processor!).

Secondly, where do we find the recipe? The internet! Google it up and voila. One way to do it for someone who doesn't really fancy cooking and doesn't really cook unless she really3 have to, is to type "Simple sweet and sour fish recipe" in the search key. That ONE word actually made a whole world of difference for someone like me.
