    I had another portion of my quorn cottage pie, it was nicer tonight as the flavours had developed. I had a load of mushrooms with it as they needed using up. Husband had the leftover potatoes from Sunday, sliced and baked, ham, mushrooms, baked beans and a poached egg. It's what he fancied.

    Defrosted a 2.09 Aldi chicken and jointed it into eight portions. Stuck them in a roasting bag with piri piri seasoning. I had halloumi fries from Aldi, with seasoned wedges, stuffed peppers, salad and coleslaw. It was really nice and leftovers for work lunches tomorrow.

    Date Night tonight - so DH provides dinner :)

    Yesterday, I baked for the first time in ages, Brownies for DH to take to work, some for Home too. I also made Vanilla Icecream.

    Today I am making Marmalade cakes and Jam, Stawberry and vanilla as I got a load of YS Stawberries. I will give some to MIL, some to neighbors, there will be too much for us to use.

    Klew I love Halloumi, it's salty, very mild in flavour and errrm 'squeaky' hard to explain, but it's not a normal cheese texture, I haven't tried the Aldi Halloumi fries, I thought they were expensive, I just buy a block, cut into fries, Shake in flour and ras el hanout and pan fry - lush dipped in chilli sauce :D
