Family get-together at beach house

Cooking at the beach house always inspires me to do wholesome things with simple ingredients. This weekend I made dinner for 5 adults and 2 children and had a just-right amount of leftovers for a small nibble the next day between swims.



On the menu:
4 pizzas; vegetarian, prawn, prosciutto and cheese (for the kids) and porsciutto and veges
Nachos with chilli con carne, guacamole and sour cream
Chicken nibbles marinated in honey and soy and done on the BBQ
Authentic hummus served with cut-up wholemeal tortillas
and for dessert...... strawberries and whipped cream, served with nutella!


Top tips:
Bake pizzas in the oven on a pizza stone to get a crispy crust
Grate cheese for pizza very finely for a more delicate pizza and even melt - and you don't need alot of cheese to enjoy a pizza
Keep kids food simple. For real fussy eaters, give them pasta flavoured with some butter and salt.
