    Savoury pancakes filled with a mix of chicken supreme, mushroom, spinach and corn.

    We had the last of the Thai style butternut squash soup for lunch with some part bake baguettes. Glad that was the last of the soup as it was so spicy for me, DH didn't mind it though. Won't be making it again! Will still make a spicy butternut squash soup in the future but with less spice!

    Dinner tonight will be shepherds pie with colcannon top. Will add various veg to the mince to up the veg portions for the day and to use up some bits in the fridge before going on holiday at the end of the week.

    I have 14 more days in which to make enough freezer space for my Heartier meat order, today I have liberated a salmon and a cod fillet, frozen peas and sweetcorn and using up some LO mash from the fridge to make which a fish pie. I have a plan for tomorrow's offering too which involves bean, pasta and gammon soup, cooked gammon ham, more peas and sweetcorn and suet dumplings. Perhaps I had better plan a pudding in case it only ends up fit for the dog:rotfl:

  • Roast a lovely rib of beef at the weekend for us + family. Sent some left-overs home with son, and enough bits left to shred and make into a big sandwich with grilled onion rings.

    Stripped the meat of the belly of lamb (bought 1/2 of lamb last autumn) and minced it up. Mixed with seasoning, onion and red currant jelly. Made two lamb burgers. Having it with rocket onion and chips. (Using things up from the freezer).

    You mean two meat pies, and two 'surprise' fillings :rotfl:

    Tonight is pasta with roasted squash (squash from the freezer and then roasted) with half a jar of LO sauce.

    Yes, I’ve got a funny feeling that it was the reminants of a stew that I had liquidised ready to make into a soup!

    Of course you can ask:rotfl:; it's mashed potato with chopped spring onion stirred through. Just adds a bit of interest to boring mashed potatoes and makes it a bit tastier too.
