Last nights dinner for a hungry 13 year old, quite carbohydrate-rich but he needs the energy! With cucumber always a favourite.

Chicago Town Ham and Pineapple pizza, with potato wedges courtesy of Aldi,  and sons favourite one-piece salad starring cucumber!

Tonight's one pan dinner....

Pasta with peas, sweetcorn and Pek Chopped Pork! 90%  pork, a handy store cupboard post-work dinner. With a little side salad drizzled with a touch of Olive oil.

Tonight's meal , home made Lasagna with salad

Simple, everyday food for an ordinary family on a budget, this blog is about what we eat in our house. Mostly plain, occasionally a little fancier, but hopefully as tasty as possible. Trained in cookery and catering in years gone by, I try to adapt some of those tips to home cooking, without having to buy in expensive ingredients that may not be used.

Inaugural post for the Little Stanwix Kitchen- hello and welcome! This blog is intended to be about food - baking, boiling, sauteeing, stewing, stir-frying, simmering, always aiming to save time and money, where at all possible. All made with love and mixed in with large helpings of real life!
