Yummy…..

Just got back from a trip south. Met up with father-in-law. Ate too much fast food. When I got home, my Amazon order was in the mail box. Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.  I have been watching the TV program with interest. Interesting to see that some people consider a french fry to be a vegetable!!! Mind blowing that the kids eat such crap each day.  There are no meals at my son’s school and I make my son’s lunches myself. Try to make them as healthy as I can.

Jamie’s book is all about learning to cook simple but healthy meals. They don’t take long and he explains everything step by step. I just made his Bolognese Sauce and my son is still raving about it. It had carrots, celery and mushrooms in it and I served it on wholewheat spaghetti.  We had a mixed lettuce side salad. Jesse cleared his plate.  I even ate my salad and I don’t eat raw anything as a rule. I have my own recipe for bolognese sauce but I think Jamie’s is probably healthier.  I don’t have anybody to teach his recipe’s too so perhaps somebody reading this will make one from Jamie’s website and let me know how they got on. The easiest of all is Classic Tomato Spaghetti . Add some shrimp for a great added extra.

We all need to eat a lot healthier than we do. When I read the labels on some frozen or tinned food, I am shocked at the additives in all of the food. We don’t need to feed this shit to our kids or ourselves.  Go Jamie Oliver!!!
