    I’m making roasted red pepper halves stuffed with minced beef, chopped shallot, mushrooms, spinach and cheese which I’ll cook in the Ninja.

    I always want to do something like that and never get round to it.  Must try harder.....

    Pizza tonight!!  Not sure what sort as OH did the shopping.  I was told however that if I wanted it I had to buy more mozzarella.  And I want it!!!

    I just cooked some snacky bits from the freezer, in the actifry. Arancini, breaded mozzarella, mini pin wheels. Served with salad, potato salad and coleslaw. Husband had an omelette.

    I’m making a salmon noodle & veg stir fry in teriyaki sauce tonight, with cheesecake for pud. 

    I picked up an Aldi bag full of fruit and veg from the community fridge yesterday afternoon so I’ve got lots of cooking/kitchen-freezer prep to do this morning.

    chicken tacos - there's a kit with the tortilla/tacos & cooking sauce they're selling at Aldi and OH bought 2 of those (bbd 2025 I believe) and some boneless chicken thighs.  We've lettuce, spring onions, tomatoes, creme fraiche and guac.  Oh and extra tortilla chips and salsa too.  

    and we had a lovely breakfast of bake at home sourdough rolls and eier im glas.  Only issue I had with it was the chives from the garden seemed a bit woody for some reason - I'd avoided the flowering stalks so it was a bit of a surprise.

    We had an Indian takeaway from our local, which made a lovely change and was actually very tasty.

    Have been awol due to a busy but lovely half term, so just catching up. Had quite a few visitors to cater for this week and also a lot of eating out so the budget has suffered 😬 

    Yesterday we had a day out with friends who suggested we go to Five Guys for dinner, sure why not, we said - £58 later (FIFTY EIGHT POUNDS) for 4 burgers and a large chips, I wished we’d declined! It was nice but…..!! 

    Today we had relatives over, did a big walk and had a drink in the pub but I made dinner for everyone - we had chicken tikka thighs, Chana masala, mustard seed and ginger green beans, and turmeric/pea rice. Delicious, economical (£15ish for 6 people?) and leftovers in the fridge 👍
