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 in 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 beating the clock.
Reading the recipe I started collecting all the ingredients necessary. Well… my pantry had a different idea…. apart 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. The refrigerator open, I was staring at the content as a painter stares at a white canvas.
With a few ingredients on hand, last night’s 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 weekend.
