Some of this week's meals

Homemade hamburgers with oven wedges.

Chicken thighs "roasted" in the slow cooker, served with potato puffs, gravy, and steamed carrot, broccoli, corn and peas.

Creamy Lemon Tortellini Bake (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I left out the lemon zest and used leftover chicken instead of bacon (I think it would be awesome with the bacon though!) Everyone liked it - what a miracle - although Noah did pick out the spinach.

Beef stew with rice and steamed Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

Four Cheese and Sausage Stuffed Shells (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I couldn't find pasta shells so I just did the pasta, cheese mixture and tomato mixture in layers. I also halved the recipe as the original serves 12.

Some of this week's meals

Pork chops with roasted diced potatoes, steamed carrots and broccoli, and gravy.

Skinny Chicken Enchiladas (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I only had 10 inch tortillas so I used 4. I found this recipe serves 4 if the enchiladas are all you have. They were delicious! However, the kids didn't think so and acted as if I was poisoning them.

Stuffed pepper soup (link to recipe) out of the freezer as I wasn't in the mood to cook after a day at work.

Bobotie served with rice and steamed carrots and broccoli.

Pam's Lamb stir-fry (frozen product). It was okay, probably won't re-purchase.

Some of this week's meals

Slow cooked BBQ beef (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
We had this on rolls with not much else - bit of a rushed meal. It was good but the sauce is quite strong - I'll use fewer ingredients next time and add some water.

Cheesy taco pasta (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
Delicious. It is a small-ish portion, don't know if it would truly feed 6 as the recipe states. We got 4 generous portions out of it - in future I'd probably split it into 5.

Pasta with Italian chicken sausage, peppers and escarole (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I tweaked it a little: left out the red pepper flakes, added a can of chopped tomatoes to the sausage mixture, and left out the escarole.

Cheeseburger casserole (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I didn't have turkey mince so I used 350g steak mince and the rest turkey sausage meat. I also didn't have low fat evaporated milk or the cheese product - I used grated cheese and low fat sour cream. Everyone except Noah enjoyed this. I found the recipe served 4, not 6 (the portions would have been too small) but maybe that was because I was so hungry by the time it was ready.

Spaghetti Bolognaise

I had been to the hospital and Phillipa had been picked up and fed by a friend and so she asked if they could eat Spag Bol, they sent some home with me so I wouldn't have to cook as we got back quite late.

Cottage Pie

Don't have it very often but always enjoy it when I do.

Spaghetti Bolognaise

Phillipa had a friend over and so it was quick and easy to make a simple meal.

Chibotie

This is babotie but made with chicken, the kids asked for it so it was that with yellow rice and peas.

Taco Salad

Nice slightly spicy meal for a grey Sunday, yum.

Taco salad

Inspired by you, delicious taco salad.

Spaghetti Bolognaise

I think of Italians as great lovers, so it seemed apt to have Italiano on Valentine's day. Had cake for dessert too.

Lasagne

Good old lasagne and veg for dinner. Had I not been fleeing so awful it might have been with salad and fresh baked garlic bread too, but veg will have to do. That's ok tho, I love veggies.

Babotie

We have the missionaries over for a DA and so before church I popped the mince part into the oven and set the timer so it would be cooked by the time we got home. Made the rice and some peas when we got home and that was our delicious meal.
