Some recent meals

Swedish meatballs (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
The first night I served them with oven chips and steamed carrots, corn and green beans. The next night I had the leftover meatballs and sauce over pasta (delicious!) while the rest of the family had chips from the fish-and-chip shop and battered (fried) snapper that Grant had caught.

Chicken Divan (link to recipe)
I adore this and would eat it at least once a week. I add a teaspoon or so of curry powder to the sauce and it just makes it. Serve over rice.

We've been eating a lot of roasted butternut, potatoes and beetroot - I sometimes throw some onion in there too. So delicious and easy and I just add some chicken breasts or minute steaks to make up a full meal.

Pizza

We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut tonight - well, the boys and Grant had that and I had leftover lasagne.

Lasagne and macaroni cheese

We had the Coyles visiting and we had lasagne, macaroni cheese, steamed carrots and corn, and garlic bread. Sticky toffee pudding and ice cream for dessert.

Potjie

Our main meal was in the afternoon when visiting with my uncle, aunt and cousins - we had the most divine potjie I've ever tasted, served with rice. I made brownies and German apple pudding with ice cream for dessert.

Spaghetti bolognese

Spag bol - a different recipe than my usual, from the River Cottage cookbook I got out of the library.

Spag bol

Spaghetti bolognese - actually taglietelle, not spaghetti.

Frankie & Benny's

I went out with friends to Frankie & Benny's; Grant BBQed some sausages and they had them in rolls.

Pies and veg

Daniel had an eye appointment at Tesco opticians at 4pm so we picked up some steak pies to chuck into the oven when we got home. We had them with steamed veg.

Hamburgers

Tonight we had burgers done on the BBQ and salad.

The Blossoms

As the shippers were still busy and there were boxes everywhere and nowhere to sit and eat we went out for dinner again, this time to The Blossoms as it's nearby and cheap. Grant and I had a loaded burger and lamb shank, Noah had spaghetti and garlic bread, and Daniel had chicken nuggets, jacket potato and beans.

Carvery

Because the shippers are coming tomorrow and everything we're sending has been washed and separated from everything we're keeping, we decided to just eat out today. We've been sorting and doing laundry and packing all day and cooking and keeping the kitchen sorted was the last thing on my mind! We went to a carvery.

Beef curry

Beef curry served with rice, chutney and buttered bread.

Mexican casserole

Mexican casserole for supper tonight.

Jackets, lamb, salad

We had fish and chips for lunch so supper was light - jacket potatoes, salad, leftover roast lamb.

Lamb dinner

Roast leg of lamb, roast potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower.

Sausage and mash

Leftover sausage meat fried in patties, mashed potatoes and steamed peas and carrots.
