After a successful first get-together, we couldn't wait for the following month and this time around, we accidentally decided to make comfort foods. I say "accidentally" because we never decide way in advance what we're going to cook. What happens is that a week before our event, we tell each other what we plan to make and it just so happens that for this gathering, our recipes revolved around comfort foods, which were:
* Spinach Lasagna
* Healthy Chicken Nuggets
* Apple Crumble
Have you seen the episode of Jamie Oliver's show where he explains to children what are in chicken nuggets? That just makes you swear off chicken nuggets forever. But, the thing is, children still love chicken nuggets and they still ask for these tasty small bites. So what can we do? Why, make healthy versions of them of course! :)
As for the Spinach Lasagna, it was delicious! A great recipe with of course the perfect ingredients such as ricotta cheese, mozzarella, bechamel sauce... all so very italian! It might scare you at first but it's definitely worth a try, especially if you're trying to impress your family :)
Our last recipe was the classic Apple Crumble found in Nigella Lawson's cookbook. It's a no-fail recipe to make; everyone who tries this recipe is satisfied. The only thing to know is that this dish is best eaten when hot, with cold vanilla ice cream.
