Jamie Oliver’s fish pie: A British classic–pimped with nutrition

This video showed up in my Facebook feed last week. I shared it to remind myself to make it. And make it I did. Last night.  I was seduced when he said: “I make it for my family all the time.”   Everybody ate up! Including Mpants who always says: “I don’t like XXX.” Mpants finished …

One-pot spaghetti puttanesca

Easy, one-pot, midweek dinner for the whole family. Double it, and invite your neighbours. Recommended with Caprice du Temps Pinot Blanc. I invited my neighbour over for dinner on Wednesday. Both of our husbands were somewhere else for dinner. Better for us. The kids can play together. We (I) get some adult conversation. She arrives …
