Roasted a chicken last night. We had some with rice.
Made some soup with it for lunch and x2 portions gone in freezer.
Using some of the chicken to make chicken/broccoli pasta bake for tonight's dinner
Will probably cook something else with the chicken tomorrow night too. .5 -

I did TITH - FF + roast potatoes/parsnip + carrots/onions + gravy. Baked a sponge pudding - used up jar of Ginger Conserve + tiny catering jar of marmalade + 2 spoonfuls of raspberry jam - so lot of flavour under the sponge.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

I felt like I didnt stop cooking tonight, I made an irish stew, a quorn stew with dumplings, a soda bread, a chilli con carne, jacket potatoes and two apple crumbles.
We had the stews for dinner. Theres a dish of the meat one to go to the inlaws for their dinner tomorrow, along with a wedge of soda bread and an apple crumble.
The jacket potatoes will be made into wedges for tomorrow with the chilli.4 -
Lunch today will be Moroccan Lentil Stew with Harissa seasoning with basmati rice and a light yoghurt for dessert.3

A real comfort food menu tonight at our household. I made HM steak and kidney pie; LC pastry for me and puff pastry for DS. Served it with swede puree, TS broccoli and some spiced red cabbage.
For pudding I had a pice of S3x in a pan which is a lovely dessert similar to tiramisu but more chocolatey. I freeze small portions of it so I can just grab one out of the freezer when I need a dessert.4
