I love making proper home-comfort foods — the kind that hit you with nostalgia and make you think of being a kid again, watching your mum stir something magical on the hob. That’s exactly the kind of food I want my boys to grow up remembering… and hopefully craving when they’re adults and come back home for visits!
So here are our top 3 favourite meals that never fail to bring everyone to the table:
1) Macaroni Cheese with Bacon
An elite classic and my youngest’s absolute favourite. He would happily eat this every single week if he could — creamy, cheesy, salty, perfect. Comfort in a bowl.
2) Pizza Spaghetti Bake
My eldest’s holy-grail dinner. Spaghetti tossed in rich tomato sauce and sausage meat, baked in a casserole dish, topped with pepperoni, cheese, and whatever extra toppings you fancy. It’s chaotic. It’s comforting. It’s irresistible.
3) Chilli Beef Noodles
A regular favourite for me and the OH — quick, simple, easy, and full-on fakeaway vibes. Perfect for busy nights when you still want something ridiculously tasty.
