Family Friendly Comfort Food
There’s something about this time of year, when it’s not quite Christmas but it’s getting cold and the days are getting much shorter, that makes me want to cook up loads of hearty comfort food. This year especially!
For me, that’s all things slow cooker, pies, one pot pasta dishes and of course casseroles!
If you are feeding a family then it’s important that the whole family will happily all eat the same thing which I know a lot of families struggle with.
But sometimes, it’s not about the food itself, but how you serve it! Casseroles are a great example of something that I would serve slightly differently to the kids than I would to my husband and I.
If you’d like to see how I serve it for the kids, then see how here:
What I Cook Versus How I Serve It
