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.

Vegetable soup

Vegetable soup and easy cheese scones (which only I liked, but whatever).

Easy cheese scones
2 cups self-raising flour
2 cups grated cheese
1¼ cups milk

Mix the flour and cheese together then stir in the milk until all blended. This will make a wet dough. Use two spoons to scoop lumps of the dough onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 200°C.

(Optional: add herbs, spices, garlic, etc to the dough if you want to.)

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.

Poppy seed chicken

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tin cream of chicken soup
about 70 Ritz crackers, crushed into coarse crumbs
125ml sour cream
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Chop the chicken breast into bite size pieces and sautee until cooked. Add soup, sour cream, half of the crackers and half of the poppy seeds. Mix and pour into an oven dish. Mix remaining Ritz crackers and poppy seeds together and sprinkle over chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter over top. Bake 30 minutes at 180.

I served this with rice and steamed carrots, Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

For dessert we had Nutella brownies - so quick and easy. Just whisk together half a cup of Nutella with one egg, then mix in 5 tablespoons of plain flour. Turn into a dish and bake until just set.

Toscano soup

5 potatoes, peeled, halved, and sliced in ¼” slices
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
450g sausage meat
600ml boiling water
3 chicken stock cubes
1½ cups frozen spinach
100ml cream
parmesan cheese

Stir the sausage meat on medium to medium high heat and break it up as it cooks. When the sausage is halfway done, add the potatoes, onion, and garlic.

Continue to cook until sausage is no longer pink, and the edges of the potatoes are translucent. Add the boiling water, stock cubes and frozen spinach. (The stock cubes might sound like a lot but the potatoes absorb the saltiness.) Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20-30 minutes. When potatoes are fork tender, remove from heat and stir the cream in (I just used tinned cream as I don't usually have cream in the house). Sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese and serve.

Grant really liked this soup.

Hot dogs and sausage soup

We had our main meal at lunch time (low fat oven chips and salad with steak for Grant and me and turkey dinosaurs and beans for the boys) so for supper we just had hot dogs and sausage soup. Grant and I had the soup rather than eating more hot dogs (we each had one) because we're watching our weight.

Beef and Bean soup

Pinto/sugar beans, chopped tomatoes, onions, some shin/stewing beef and salt. Doesn't sound like much but it's so good. Always goes down well in our house.
