Good morning! I have a half Berkshire-pig coming at the end of the month, so need to carry on with emptying the freezer :)

My plan for this week:

Sunday - HM raised pork pie (possibly with apple and cranberry??)

Monday - leek risotto with parmesan crisps

Tuesday - pasta with pork and squash sauce

Wednesday - chicken satay sticks

Thursday - quesadillas

Friday - out with friends :j

Saturday - I'll wait for inspiration :)

Having found 4 jars :o of peanut butter in the pantry, I'll also be having a try at peanut cookies today :)

What are you all having?

    Sa: L-Out
    D-Steak with creamy mushroom sauce, chips and green veg (whatever we get at the farmers market)
    Su: L-BBQ (hopefully!)...HM burgers, chicken kebabs, sausages, corn on the cob, potato salad & mixed salad
    Tea: Boiled eggs or biscuits and cheese if we want something.
    M: Not sure yet but have pork belly & turkey mince in freezer so probably something with one of those.
    T: Out (midweek cheap deal at pub before my book group)
    W: Bean chilli, guacamole, cheese & sour cream (& rice for DH and
    DS)


    Breakfasts are toast & pb/eggs/bacon/mini frittatas.
