Food

We have visited Spain a few times as a family and the kids love it. Great food, great people and most of the time great weather. We have always come back wanting to eat more of the delicious Spanish food.

After our last visit in the summer, I came home with a Spanish Paella Dish, so keen to give it go. We were having a cheap and easy version of this amazing dish.

Another back to basics one and a firm favourite of the little lady! In fact it was over a spag bol (although one that had become dull and boring over the years with recipe changes), that started this whole thing in the first place! I decided to go old skool with this and phoned my mum for a traditional recipe! Admittedly, it takes a while to cook and prepare, however you are not chained to the cooker and can be left. In my case some guess who, and uno. Oh and a little bit of fortnite too!

Who doesn't love a nice pie? This beef and Guinness recipe is one of my favourites. I already had the diced beef in the freezer from a yellow sticker haul previously and I had a can of Guinness leftover from Christmas, so didn't really need to buy much. For speed I did buy ready rolled puff pastry.

Who wants another easy mid-week meal? If so, this is for you. Taking only ten minutes from start to finish the easy pasta and meatballs recipe is a family favourite. Made from just a few store cupboard ingredients, it comes together in just a few minutes.

The kids love this meal and often request it, which suits me fine. Especially on the nights, we are rushing around together to fit in all the out of school activities that fill our diary's.

Why not give this easy pasta and meatballs recipe a try for yourself.
