Creamless Spaghetti Carbonara
This is a dish the kids love to order when we are out. The usual variant outside is creamy because it is usually cooked with thickened cream. I can't eat much of it and none of it when it's cooled. I tried out a carbonara recipe without cream and it works really well.

Sweet Roast Chicken Drumlets
This is a favourite dish of the kids. A chicken drumlet is small and perfect for their little hand. It gives them a sense of independence and promotes self-feeding.
