Last week's meals

Pollo in Pottachio (link to recipe)
I've made this before and we all enjoy it. I use stock or fruit juice in place of the wine. I served it on pasta.

Slow cooker beef stew served with pasta or rice.

Jacket potatoes with cheese and baked beans.

Homemade pizza with ham and pineapple on.

Chinese style sticky pork served with rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Low fat oven chips with oven fish.

Toasted sandwiches with cheese and baked beans or ham and cheese.

Poppy seed chicken (link to recipe) served with rice.

Some of this week's meals

Chilli - super quick and easy: just sautee some mince and add taco seasoning, a drained can of kidney beans and a jar of salsa. We had it with rice, salsa flavoured corn chips, a smidge of sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese.

Easy crustless spinach and feta pie (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I made this recipe for lunch and it was YUM! I halved the recipe, made it in a small pie dish and ate half of it for lunch.
The only changes I made to the recipe were:
- used a small onion (and sauteed it) rather than spring onions as I didn't have any
- I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, but chopped it and wilted it down with the onions
- don't know what "Asiago cheese" is so I used grated parmesan as I always have a tub of it in the freezer
- left out the dill
- regular flour instead of wholewheat

Homemade WW sausage rolls (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)
I could not believe how much Noah ate! He didn't like them at first - they are drier than regular sausage rolls (much less fat) but then Grant got him to try them dipped in a little ketchup and he loved it. I served them with gravy and steamed carrots, peas and corn.

Homemade pizza for the boys, while Grant and I had homemade Weight Watchers friendly meals out of the freezer (bobotie and brown rice).

Lightened Up Cheesy Pastitsio (link to recipe)
(A new-to-us recipe which I will make again.)

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.

Take out

Take out from the Noodle Box (sweet and sour pork with noodles).

Pizza

Our ward was split and we have church in the afternoon so our main meal was at lunch time. I made homemade pizza topped with sausage, bacon, red pepper and pineapple.

Stir fry

Stir fry made with cabbage, courgette, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion, carrot, broccoli, leftover chicken, leftover pork and chicken flavoured instant noodles.

BBQ

BBQ with teriyaki marinated pork loin chops (they were so tender!), jacket potatoes and salad with my new favourite salad dressing - half a tablespoon each of malt vinegar and oil, a tablespoon of pesto and a tablespoon of mayonnaise, all mixed together.

Spaghetti carbonara

Weight Watchers recipe spaghetti carbonara.

Chicken and bacon risotto (WW recipe)

Daniel and I enjoyed the risotto but Noah wasn't keen. WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

Sausage soup sauce

I made sausage soup but kept it thick (didn't add stock, just a stock cube) so we could have it as a sauce over pasta.

Sausages

Sausages, curly fries, broccoli and cauliflower cheese, steamed carrots and green beans. Ice cream and hot fudge sauce for dessert.

Breakfast

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

Carbonara pasta bake

Dolmio carbonara pasta bake, with added onions and bacon.

Frankie & Benny's

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

Sausage

Clearing out the freezer so we had sausages with hash browns and potato croquettes and steamed veg.

Macaroni Moosh

We all like Macaroni Moosh - click here for recipe.

Hot dogs

Tired after sorting the house out once the shippers had left so we just had hot dogs for supper.

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.

Pizza

Daniel is having a sleepover so we had frozen pizza, garlic bread, sausages and salad.

Sausage and mash

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