In no particular order...

Bacon mushroom and Philly cheese pasta
Cheeseburgers and possibly fries
Char Sui pork stir fry
Spicy chicken drumsticks, cooked on the BBQ with the burgers if weather allows

Chop it up and serve it on the side with the peri peri or spicy chicken.

(I love mixing fruit and savoury)

eta - I'm looking for suggestions for next week...

I've got 6 frozen figs, and I'm thinking something tomato based, maybe with chicken and BN squash?

Not sure if it'll work, and wondering what spices to put in to complement it.

Recommendations appreciated.

This week for me:
Monday: sausages, salad and nice bread (a last minute change because of hot weather)
Tuesday: risotto (This might change too)
Wednesday: Quiche
Thursday: meatballs
Friday: Salmon cakes
Saturday: Mexican chicken
Sunday: home-made pizza


I spring cleaned my kitchen the other week, so I am doing a few different things from normal, because I have a few things that I have too many of, especially tinned fish, tinned fruit and herbs and spices.
