    We often use frozen bananas in smoothies in our nutribullet - as long as your blender can handle frozen stuff, they are fine.

    Two frozen bananas and some frosty blackberries used up today in smoothies (with apple juice) unfortunately got a lot of bananas and blackberries to use up so could take a while. Nice to be making a dent in them though with something other than crumbles.

    The last of the broth, which had been livened up with chili flakes and enriched with some left over ka!e. ;)

    Very moreish, so I might add the ka!e, or even cabbage / Bussell sprouts (depending on other menus) a day or two earlier. (Broth made Saturday, first serving Monday, traditional tea on a school night).

    Cooked a homemade chicken jalfrazei last night following the hairy dieters recipe. It is the fourth time that I have cooked it. Hubby loves it.
    Last night I included butternut squash and mashed some of it up, this helped to thicken the sauce rather than use cornflour.

    Tonight is homemade shepherds pie.

  • Tonight's meal will be pasta bake made with HM tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella and parmesan, with broccoli and carrots on the side and oven-baked fish. (Discovered some frozen coley portions in the depths of the freezer so will be cooking these in the oven, in a roasting bag, serving half with the pasta bake tonight and using the other half to make fishcakes tomorrow.)
