LIFESTYLE | Dining
We made a goal at the end of 2020 to start to make an effort into dining together more.
Our current lives as a family doesn’t lend itself to the traditional ‘family dinner’ every night, but we do find joy in eating and experiencing that togetherness through the creation of food, atmosphere and conversation.
It seemed the best way around this was to pick a handful of recipes out at the top of the month and make sure that we make the effort of enjoying those meals together however and whenever we make them. It also means that during the times we are busy, we can fill in with our fav meals or our go to healthy fillers (salads, smoothies, oatmeal etc)
As a sampling
For the month of February we settled on the following:
DINNER
Spicy Pesto and Asparagus and Ricotta Pasta with Crispy Prosciutto
Phone Box Red Wine
FIKA / COFFEE BREAK
We also choose a new / seasonal recipe for:
Breakfast
Lunch
Happy Hour
Dessert
Doing this at the top of the month allows us the freedom to go with the flow of our week, not put too much pressure on when we can have a sit down meal / dining time together, but it also gives us the motivation to find ourselves in the kitchen with music on and enjoy the foods of the season.
Let’s just say that this month was a lot of chocolate, and decadent recipes.
