The Speedy Indeedy Meal


Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, served with grated cheese. We recently discovered that The Little Girl and Bean both enjoy their pasta sauce mince-free. We also learnt that some grated cheese always adds a fun twist to their taste and texture on a platter *slow parents*

Steamed broccoli. No brainer, 100% win for all as it is so easy to chop, rinse and steam *lazy mum*

Skinless pan-fried chicken breast. Wash, pat dry, score, marinate with pinch of salt and pepper, coat lightly with corn flour, fry with butter 5 minutes on each side. The trick to retaining juicy fried chicken is keeping the lid on while frying (use a glass lid, and kitchen timer) *slow learner*

In conclusion, there is hope for me in the kitchen. The trinity of my being a slow parent, lazy mum and slow learner all add up as odds against my attempt at being Annabel Karmel-Jamie Oliver-Chef Wan. 

The verdict is since my family cleaned their dinner plates last night, I will keep this combo as a fortnightly feature on our dinner rotation.

Feel free to try this meal if you are in a rush. Bon appetit!

    1. Joyce, I could have made the Bolognese sauce (Nigella Lawson has a very straightforward Bolognese sauce recipe, amongst all her other wonderful recipes, that can be cooked in a big batch and refrigerated/frozen) from scratch on a less busy day...but alas.

      Perhaps another day.
