Served with sugar snap peas, broccoli and roast spuds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pork chops, roasties, sprouts some tenderstem broccoli and maybe a bit of red cabbage. Â Turns out the red cabbage was still in the freezer so we did without. then to cap it all the tenderstem had gone a bit yellow so we chucked it and had carrots instead.

Belatucadrus Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Today is Salmon fillets, sprinkled with Dill &Â White pepper before dosing with lemon juice and sea salted butter. Microwave for a minute then coat generously with hollandaise and finish off under a hot grill. Serve with new potatoes and green veg of choice, green beans or mange tout would be nice. ( Sprouts or green cabbage would not.) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Baked potatoes with canned tuna and chilli mayonnaise.  The chilli mayonnaise is mayonnaise with a finely sliced large size (but medium hotness) chilli stirred into it. This is stirred into the tuna pieces.  I've started to put a bit of truffle oil into my homemade mayonnaise but today I've been given a piece of real (local) truffle which I'll try in this. The remaining truffle is destined for a chicken liver paté which will be made on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 My wife and her sister have joined Slimming World and slavishly following the procedure. I can't eat some of the stuff Libby is now "enjoying" so I keep an M&S Butter Chicken Curry and M&S Steak Pie in the freezer for myself.  The curry is as good as you will find anywhere and the steak pie is quite nice - not as good as we do at home - but very acceptable. It actually has lumps of meat in it rather than mince. I had a steak pie tonight with some Maris Piper spuds, Sprouts and Bisto beef granule gravy. An easy, pleasant and low cost meal.  Meanwhile Libby had salmon and a mountain of salad...urgh. However, she has painlessly lost 1.30 kg in 4 weeks which is a third of the way to get down to her target of 67 Kg (10st 7lbs) . The instructor argues she isn't eating enough to lose even more weight, more quickly - something that defies my logic.  I swear she is only doing it as an excuse to buy more clothes.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
