Curious on people’s thoughts on how to approach kids when it comes to religion. My wife is religious, and I am very spiritual and believe in the benefits of religion (positive humanist aspects, not the useless ceremonious parts, to me they are just a distraction). We believe in multiculturalism and multi-religious beliefs (including atheism) and…

My Easy School Lunch Plan
Plenty of cooking books, TV shows and newspaper articles about kids school lunches and recipes. This is more of a laymen lazy dad guide for a repetitive 5 day schedule of school lunches that I use, because if I have to do more than 5 different lunch recipes a week I will burn out faster…
Ciao Andalucia, Mi Amore
A dream realised, Andalusia I have finally truly seen you.
Quick-impressive fruit salad
Always a tasty healthy alternative to desserts that even kids love. So simple to make, albeit the prep work can be slightly annoying, but wouldn’t take any more effort than a dessert half as good and half as nutritious. Great for the summer, especially with fresh seasonal fruits. Time: 15-20 minutes Serves: 8 Good for:…
For All the Tea in China….

Home-made Granola Bars
You all know this by now, anything homemade is great, anything ready made is evil (not quite) but in most cases that is true. Plus it’s way cheaper to do it at home. Granola bars are one such case, it’s so easy to make it should be a crime for you to buy the store…
Appreciation of Family and Traditions
One thing I’m always struggling to instil in my child is a sense of family and tradition. Whatever culture or tradition it might be, typically for those of us who are first generation immigrants this is very agonising as we want them to experience and maintain a sense of our former “home” and what makes…
Easy does-it trifle
There are probably as many trifle recipes as there are people. Trifles can be a combination of many things and somehow still come out tasting naturally sweet, fresh, and delicious. Here is an easy one for you with easy to find ingredients; you can just about substitute any of the ingredients to something equally good….
