We’ve been on holidays in Far North Queensland this week. As a treat we went to a fancy restaurant with the children. The cuisine was delicious but not exactly kid friendly. Large plates with small portions and subtle flavours. The kids enjoyed the chocolate brownies at the end but hadn’t had their proper “fill”. And as we drove home we saw the familiar golden arches. Cries went up for “Maccas chips”, but I drove on and said we’d get them something healthier at home.

Everyone was tired and getting a little ratty. I gave them 3 options. A fresh Italian salad; tacos; or cheese toast. After much discussion and debate, all three were axed and eventually Maggi noodles was the winner! Not exactly healthy, in fact far from it. But we are not so militant when it comes to healthy cuisine and sometimes, it’s comfort food which is best at the end of the day!

My comfort food is a thin crust, vegetarian, crisply cooked pizza with chilli flakes! What’s yours?
