It was all change at ours this week, not sure we had one meal as planned:o Ah well...
Am starting again for the next week, from tomorrow night, until the Sunday, as we are then on holidays for 2 weeks (YAY! don't have to work or clean for 15 days!! Don't mind the cooking part lol) OH was supposed to work this weekend, but doesn't need to now, so we had to replan sat and sunday, and a friend for dinner tomorrow night.

So:
Fr 5th -boeuf bourguignon with baked spuds and cabbage (friend round for dinner)
Sa 6throasted squash salad with spatchcocked poussin (nigella kitchen inspired)
Su 7th poss roast lamb if we have friends round, otherwise greek roasted lamb and potatoes from nigella kitchen, with carrots involved somewhere

I made the spinach and feta filo pastry pie... it's delicious! Advice though, cook it a bit longer on the bottom than you think... and make sure the thing you cook it on the hob in, can go in the oven.

Pen-Pin - hope you feel better soon.

Boodle - can I ask how you make oat bread, please? I've really enjoyed oaty bread when I've bought it and would love to be able to make my own.

I'm still storecupboard challenging and am starting to get to some more unusual combinations now in order to use stuff up:

Friday - pork* and leeks in cheese sauce with crusty bread
Saturday - aubergine parmigiana
Sunday - arancini with spicy tomato sauce (risotto balls dipped in breadcrumbs and fried - I don't know what flavour risotto, though, as once again I didn't label it )
Monday - mince beef and vegetable pie
Tuesday - plaice fillet, curly chips and mushy peas
Wednesday - Spanish sausage casserole with roast squash wedges and garlic bread
Thursday - cheesy leek and spinach pasta

Have a nice week, all.


* well, I think it's pork, but it might be chicken. I really must start labelling things when I put them in the freezer.
