Fettuccine with prawns, peas, tomatoes and cream sauce.

Last night I remembered the reason why I started my blog over two years ago.  I wanted to write about our family dinners, but mainly, I wanted to share how we can create a delicious meal on a very short period of time, and still have time to enjoy the little precious time we have in the evening with our family. Last night was my test.

After a day packed with “To Do’s”, dinner came upon us like lightning. I had a recipe in mind that will not take long to prepare, so I felt very comfortable in beating the clock.

Reading the recipe I started collecting all the ingredients necessary. Well… my pantry had a different idea…. a part from the prawns, fettuccine and turmeric I had nothing that I needed in hand. What a great opportunity to create something new out of sheer necessity.  Refrigerator open, I was staring at the content as a painter stares at a white canvas.

With a few ingredient on hand last night meal was, if I may say so, delicious.  My son not only had double helping, but stole all my prawns and ate them with gusto.

His comment to me: “Mom, wow… this is absolutely delicious, you must make it more often”.

and to all have a great week-end.
