Mummy’s Fast & Easy

I can’t believe how fast the days go by!
It feels like Monday but it’s already Wednesday (night).  A toddler can definitely keep you very very busy. Not that I’m complaining.
Today’s recipe is a new one for me, meaning I made it for the first time the other day but it turned out really  yummy and all the eggplants you see in the pictures were gone just for dinner.
It is really easy and delicious recipe and I’m sure your family will love it so if you haven’t tried it yet, please do!

Here’s what you need.

Tip: If these are too meaty for you, try mixing the beef with some rice!
