Guys, it was another week of it. Honestly, November has consistently hated me for around 4 years now and I’m just done with her. I am always thrilled to see the back of November because it starts with me thinking “yay, party season, fireworks and funnnnn” and then it’s just MEH.
Anyway, here’s how we did:
- Monday :: Stir fry beef – I actually did this and most of the fam loved it, for once it was me that had to practice what I preached and just eat it. I wasn’t a fan but then I’m not a beef fan so…
- Tuesday :: Spag bol – I forgot to put it in the cooker, and as such Adam just didn’t follow my instructions and they all had plain pasta with cheese…
- Wednesday :: Peanut Stew – this was lush! I really enjoyed it, even if I had to listen to Edith and my mother pretend that veggies had the same effect on them that water has on the witch in Wizard of Oz.
- Thursday :: Veggie Lasagna – I didn’t do it. I know, I know. I was really looking forward to it too. I just ran out of time!
- Friday :: Take away – My fave day of the week.
- Saturday :: Chicken Gnocchi in creamy sauce – Oh gosh I was so excited about this one and I wasn’t here as a last minute opportunity came up for me and Edith to go to Birmingham. DAMN.
- Sunday :: Whole cauliflower – you best believe I did… not do this, but I did cauliflower cheese so basically it was the same and I achieved.
So that was last week, and this week I’m thinking a little bit more in the box to try and please the masses.
Monday :: Cottage Pie
Yup. Firm fave and frankly I think this week I’m aiming to just be chill and do recipes that I know I can cook easily and everyone will eat. I’m going to sneak a tonne of veggies in this too, all finely chopped up. This recipe from Savoury Tooth looks like a must try!
Tuesday :: We’re out!
We’re going to be out for my work, so the truth is we will probably nip ino Nandos or I will pack them something to eat in the car!
Wednesday :: Puttanesca
I actually have my own Puttanesca recipe that I adapted from a Gousto cooking one, and I have to tell you, I LOVE this dish. This recipe from Mama loves food is super simple, I cut everything up smaller and I miss out the anchovies.
Thursday :: Chicken artichoke & new potato tray bake
Legit one of my fave recipes. I found this years ago and I can’t even remember where, so I have given you this recipe from Good to Know.
Friday :: Take away
Saturday :: Sausage and Mash
What sparks joy more than this classic little bugger eh? I actually Linda McCartney sausages with Toby – I prefer them to the supermarket ones and he frets over pigs… unless the sausages are in a butty or bacon… he’s an odd one.
Sunday :: Fajitas
I’m going sheet pan too because I will be knackered by the end of the week and probably facing down a horde of hungry humans that make the walking dead zombies look placid. So YEAH. This recipe from Cooking classy is beyond simple and I’m here for simple!
Yum!! These sound GREAT!
