Curry and rice

Curry made with a mix of lamb and beef mince, served with basmati rice, Mrs Ball's chutney and buttered bread.

Breakfast

Our main meal today was lunch and we had grilled garlic mushrooms, bacon and egg on toast.

Pizza

We were out running errands so we picked up some pizza from Tesco and had it with a little tiger bread.

Beef curry

Beef curry served with rice, chutney and buttered bread.

Sausage stuffing skillet

I made this recipe with half the stuffing and it still tasted too "stuffingy". We had it with oven rolls.

BBQ

BBQ with salad, oven rolls, corn on the cob and lamb chops.

Picnic

We went to the park for a picnic. I made bacon and mushroom quiche, sandwiches and salad.

Freezer clearout

We cleared the freezer of odds and ends and ate them for supper - garlic bread, a little Ikea hash, a few Ikea meatballs, a tiny pizza, oven chips, etc.

Toasted sandwiches

Daniel and I had cheese and bean toasted sandwiches, Noah had pesto pasta, Grant was at work. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

Toasted sandwiches

Just a casual meal of toasted sandwiches. Feeling very stressed this week and haven't been on top of things at home, like meal planning.

Leftovers

Leftover beef curry tonight.

Bits and bobs

Toasties, pasta with pesto, egg on toast again. Grant is at work and we've had a busy day plus I desperately need to do a grocery shop.

Bits and bobs

I had egg on toast, Noah had pasta with pesto, Daniel had toasted sandwiches, Grant was at work.

Toasties

Toasted sandwiches with cheese and beans on.

Pea & bacon soup

Yellow split pea and bacon soup, served with home-made foccacia bread.

Paninis

We've been wanting to replace our snackwicher and buy a new one to ship over to NZ. I spent some time looking at reviews on the Argos website and we decided to get the Cookworks Signature Panini Press instead. Lucky for us Grant got £30 in Argos vouchers from work at Christmas time so it didn't even cost us anything.

So we used our new panini press to make paninis (cheese and ham, cheese and onion) and toasted sandwiches (cheese and beans) for supper. We had peppermint crisp dessert for pudding as it's my no-count day and I had to make it to photograph for my e-book.

Goat's cheese chicken

Grant and I had chicken breasts stuffed with goat's cheese, topped with tomato slices and roasted, served with green beans and microwaved potato. The boys ate earlier and since I knew they wouldn't eat what we had, I did cheese and bean snackwiches for Daniel and pesto pasta for Noah.

Butternut, potato and carrot soup

Always goes down well, especially with some tiger bread. Yum.

As above

Delicious butternut, carrot and potato soup with bread at Di's house :)

Tomato and Basil pasta

Got this great recipe from a cook book for a basic red sauce which is good for lasagne, bolognaise etc and I just use it for a simple pasta sauce when we feel like no meat. Tonight we're having it with fresh baked garlic rolls and salad.
