Five on Friday



Today's post is about food that my husband loves to cook and that
everyone in our family enjoys. I've chosen five that he's made for us
this past week, all firm family favourites. I'm always grateful that
 I'm married to a man who can cook. He's happy when he's in
our little kitchen, listening to sports on the radio, preparing,
simmering, cooking, making delicious meals for his family.
 We're so lucky, the girls and I. He does this for us everyday and
even better, he doesn't mind washing up too!

So here are the chosen five:


1. Pea, parsley and mint risotto, topped with pancetta


My husband's risottos are always great. All the ingredients for
this, save for the pancetta, we already had at home. He's good
at this too- making use of what's available at home and not
wasting much.


2. Grilled lamb with salsa verde, roast potatoes and braised peas


The girls had roast chicken instead of lamb. They enjoyed theirs, we
enjoyed ours too.


3. Tuscan style sausage pasta


Hearty, meaty and always tastes good.



4. Mushroom risotto with pancetta


Yes, we always love some pancetta. And we also love rice
in our house, either in risottos or the plain boiled jasmine
rice we usually have with Filipino dishes.


5. Chocolate Nemesis


He made this for dessert last week. It's like baked chocolate mousse,
very rich, dark, scrumptious and irresistible.



Those are my five this Friday. Thanks, as always, to Amy for
organising this.

  3. Well you are lucky and he seems both inventive and as previous comment mentioned budget friendly too. My husband lives to cook but comes home in week nights too late, however he does all the cooking at weekends. Love men that cook ;)

  7. I quite fancy stopping by for dinner one day! Risotto is one of my all time favourites but I am the only one who really likes it here. I am also lucky to have a man who cooks! We are blessed indeed. x

  8. Oh my word, I am drooling! My husband also loves to cook, but not every night. Risottos, pancetta and pasta also feature very regularly in our weekly meals. x

  12. I would happily eat any of those dishes, Marion, and all the better if someone else cooked them! I do like cooking and all, but can really appreciate it when someone else takes the trouble. What a lovely hubby you have! Wishing you a super week ahead :-) xx

  14. Great post Marion with some lovely photos. Oh how I wish my husband would love to cook. He just isn't interested although now he's retired maybe he'll turn his hand to it. Your dishes look delicious. I particularly like the idea of risotto with crispy pancetta on top. P x
