I have a lot of trouble making food for my kids that they will eat. I am not a great cook, and I don’t have a lot of love of cooking, but I am constantly trying to think of things that they will eat. There are some old staples that I roll out that I know that they will eat like fried rice and bolognese.But I get very bored of eating these.

Last night I completely ran out of energy to make the kids something interesting. Instead of making something interesting like cassoulet or lasagna (neither of which they love, but I do), I just made up some spaghetti with olive oil and parmesan. I felt really guilty about serving something so basic, but they completely surprised me by LOVING it. and Liam told me “Dad, you are a great chef!”. They even ate multiple helpings…

Maybe this is the direction I should be going in for meals. Simple food is better. I just need to get over the guilt…
