I've been doing even more fish than normal in the recent weeks and we've had quite a few fully vegetarian days also. I am going to continue on this great path. Husband did point out that although he is absolutely loving all this and appreciating my culinary support of his cardiovascular health, he is also a man after all and will need a certain amount of meat. Manhood is a meaty business.
Here are some of the week's culinary escapades:
Creamy Finnish salmon and prawn soup |
Moroccan chickpea, lentil and butternut squash stew |
Mediterranean fish stew |
Greek lamb kleftiko It looked more appetising after 6 hours in the oven |
Pear and brandy cake with almonds |
Pink raspberry cake at the Buckingham Palace cafe |
This week started off quite busy and Monday night I resorted to leftover moose burgers from the freezer. Last night I did a sweet potato and chilli soup. Wednesday a friend is visiting so I will do a bit of a Spanish theme, it's a work day and I am picking her from the airport on the way home from the office, probably driving to at least two wrong terminals before eventually finding the right one, so I will keep it reasonably simple.

Sunday another friend is coming over for a cookery experience. Cooking has not really been top of her agenda and she would like to learn more. So we are going to have a fun afternoon learning to cook chicken a couple of ways and some other things. I'm still working on the ideas, we might even bake a cake. But we also just want to sit around the table, eat and gossip.

Sharing with Mrs M's meal planning Monday and Organising Junkie.
Hmmm, sounds very similar to my husband who gets a bit twitchy when the number of meat based meals decreases - he's away for a week in October and I plan lots of those veggie dishes that I never manage to slip past him!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a lovely week planned - enjoy. x
