Well, good Morning!!
Back to a cool, spring morning here in Brisbane and we are back at
school and work, which means I’ve been planning our fortnight. I always plan on a Sunday, as I'll just duck out and grab our groceries for the fortnight then. I’ve been through the freezer and have most of
the meat required for these meals, so I’ll only need to buy lamb and mince, and
my shopping is done. Cooking for two is
not as satisfying, but there’s always leftovers for lunch or for another night. Just
cause I know you care, (and I know cause I need to shop and budget) we are
having this week:
Tacos (I tried a soft taco once. It was wrong. Just wrong.)
Leftover spaghetti (I have several in the freezer for those
nights we are at soccer training)
Homemade pizzas
Mini roast chicken
I wish I could tell you I am amazing home cook who made
these meals from scratch, but .. I'm afraid not!! Son C gets home at 4:30pm, and I’m usually in
around 5, so I ideally like to have dinner on by 6:30pm, so dinner needs to be
something that can be whipped together quickly, or can be done in the slow
cooker. I’m still working on recipes I
like for the slow cooker, so I don’t have a particularly strong repertoire, and
honestly, I quite like the many slow cooker packets you can get in the grocery
stores these days.
There’s not enough here to fill a fortnight obviously, but
there will be leftovers on at least two nights, and I know that we are dining
out one afternoon, so I’ve covered most bases.
Yumm, I’m looking forward to these warm winter meals!
Peace out, bean sprout! :-)
