Tuesday 30th November - Prawns, cous cous, rice, carrots

Dinner - prawns, cous cous, rice, carrots (and garlic mushrooms and a lime cream sauce)

Cooked the prawns, cous cous and carrots in the varoma and rice in the bowl (different preferences amongst the family over rice and cous cous so did both). Whilst it was cooking I cooked up garlic mushrooms in a frypan (could be done in the tmx after but we were in a hurry) and then added the juice of one lime and a dash of cream to the remaining garlic butter and heated through. This was a really tasty sauce. All thekids loved it, even dd2 who doesn't usually eat the sauces.

Also bread rolls

Monday 29th November - minestrone soup, mince, taco sauce

Lunch - minestrone soup (from the forum recipe not the edc one which isn't meant to be any good).

Dinner - Taco's - made the mince (beef and pork) and then cooked it with taco seasoning.

Sunday 28th November - bread, Teriyaki Chicken, chocolate gelato

Made a loaf of bread for lunch.

Dinner - Teriyaki Chicken using the Teriyaki beef recipe from Meat on the Menu with a longer cooking time for the chicken.
Was really yummy. Next time will add a bit more liquid with the longer cooking time as I loooove sauce. But this was a massive hit with everyone. All three kids loved it and dd3 had seconds (dinner is not her big meal and she usually picks a bit) and dh and I also loved it. Will be a regular here. Also added carrots at the same time as the chicken to make it a more all in one meal. Served with rice noodles.



Dessert made a chocolate gelato recipe from the forum, this was ok. Couldn't get it to set in the icecream maker at all (the girls happily ate it as a soup/custard) so will see what it's like after freezing tomorrow.

Saturday 27th November - porridge, pasta

Breakfast made porridge.
Out all day but made the girls tomato pasta for dinner.

Friday 26th November - smoothie, curry, spinach and feta chicken, rice, veg

Lunch - chicken 'super quick curry' - Made my super quick curry for lunch using the tikka paste I made from the Indian cook book last week - very yum!!! Served it on wraps with salad.

Thursday 25th November - smoothie, LTM's, bombay potato, stock

Breakfast - smoothie.

Made LTM's (rice bubble snacks for the kids)

Made a potato dish for lunch - based on the Bombay Potato recipe in the Indian cookbook but without the chili as had mother's group around and wasn't sure if some of the other kids might want some and probably don't like chili like my 3 year old. Was very nice so looking forward to making it properly.

Made stock from the chicken bones from lunch.

Wednesday 24th November - smoothie, bread, beef casserole
