Spicy Sausage Cassoulet Recipe

This is another recipe my mum used to make us but it is a firm favourite with hubby - he loves it. It's one of those recipes that maybe doesn't look great on a plate or in a bowl but is just so tasty and the leftovers are always great for a lunch or even another dinner.  

The recipe says it serves two but we normally get at least two good dinners out of it and enough for maybe another dinner or a lunch.  I do have a tendency to add a few extra peppers into it but you could do so to taste and if trying to bulk it out add more veg or sausages.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Garlic clove, crushed
1 Red pepper, chopped
2 Sticks celery, chopped
200g Chopped tomatoes
125ml Chicken stock
2 Tsp Dark soy sauce
2 Tsp Mustard
400g Black eyed beans (I always used baked beans - it tastes yummy)
125g Pork Sausages cooked and chopped into small pieces
2oz Breadcrumbs
1oz Grated Cheese
2 Tbsp Parsley chopped

Heat 2 tsp of oil in a large saucepan/wok.  Ensure the pan you use can be put under the grill and won't melt!

Cook sausages on grill, frying pan, actifry - however you like to cook them.

Add onion, garlic, pepper & celery to the pan and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add tomatoes, stock and soy sauce.  Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 mins or until sauce begins to thicken.

Chop sausages into small pieces. Add mustard, beans and sausages and cook for further 10 minutes.

Before sauce has thickened

When the sauce had thickened

Mix breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley together and sprinkle over sausage mixture.

Place pan under hot grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

All ready to dig in!

Serve with salad/crusty bread.

Tuna Flan Recipe

This is a dish we would often have at home when I lived with my mum and dad.  It's simple and easy and I love it.  Not being a great fan of fish (only eating tuna or salmon out of a tin) this recipe is great for getting some fishiness into you.

Tuna Flan (Partially eaten - whoops, forgot to take photo before dinner!)

The recipe for the pastry is to the tea as its from my mum.  The filling however will be a little haphazard as it's from me and I've a tendency to add a little here and put a little dash here but if you'd like to try making it here we go....

To make the pastry

125g/4oz Stork Margarine

175g/6oz Plain Flour

1 Tbsp Cold Water

Place the flour in a bowl and rub in the margarine until it looks like breadcrumbs, then add the water.  Blend together.  You can add a little more water if needed but don't make it too sticky (strict instructions from my mum!).

Flour surface and roll the pastry out.  Greases the dish you are using with a little butter.  Place the pastry over the dish and pat into dish to fit.  Trim off edges if necessary.  Once the pastry is in position prick it a few times with a knife to ensure it does not bubble.

Place the pastry in the oven 200oC/400oF/Gas Mark 6 for approximately 25 minutes or until lightly brown.

To make the filling

1 Tin Tuna Chunks

Milk

2 Eggs

Frozen Peas

Cheese for topping

Put tuna in bowl and mash with fork until the chunks are broken up.  Add the two eggs and mix.  Add a handful or more of frozen peas (really add as many as you like and as many as you need depending on how big your dish is).  Add a little milk, until it raised by an inch or two.  Mix until peas are separated and everything is combined.  Pour the mixture on to your pastry base.  Top with grated cheese and cook for approximately 20/30 minutes at 200oC until the cheese is golden brown.

Serve with broccoli or any vegetable, baked potato and lashings of HP sauce (OK so the last one is just a personal favourite).

Mum's The Word Weekly Meal Plan - 22nd April 2013

 

 Can you believe it's Monday again? The weeks are just flying by.

Thankfully we got good news about Hubby's car, although there is a fault with the brake sensor (I think that's what it was) the mechanic said that VW are repairing the fault free of charge.  I checked with our VW dealer and it is the case (yippee), so as long as it comes up with the same fault code on their diagnostics we'll not have to pay to get it fixed.  This is just great as when Hubby was googling about it, it could have been £1000 - £1500 to get it repaired - ouch!

I took the little one up to see my Grandma and my mum on Wednesday. My Grandma just turned 90 in January and I think she's brilliant.  She lives in her own wee apartment attached to my Aunt and Uncles house which means she gets her own bit of privacy but the family make dinners for her etc, and it's nice to know that someone's not too far away if anything happened to her.

I got to enjoy some time this weekend catching up with friends and family.  Friday I had a lovely dinner catching up with one of my friends who has a 18 month old boy.  Saturday I got catching up with my best friend that I haven't seen in 7 weeks. We live 30 miles apart, which doesn't sound a lot but she works shifts so it's been hard to get a time that suits us both. It was great just chatting and laughing and of course doing some munching and shopping.

Sunday the lovely Lauren, my cousins wife, was over this week seeing her family and having some chill out time.  Although she was home chilling she kindly met up with the little one and I at her Mother in Law's house (my Auntie). Was lovely seeing them both as we haven't seen them since January at my Gran's birthday.

The little one was unfortunately a little strange at the start but came round pretty quickly and was giving plenty of smiles.  We had a lovely afternoon chatting and playing with the little one. It was  lovely to see her and only wish she was closer so we could see her more.

Some of last weeks meals were a great hit!  The Spanish Chicken was lovely, Sausage Casserole was very tasty (always popular in our house - recipe to follow!), Meatball Sub (a creation out of my head but was super tasty) and the Beef and Bean Burrito, although it did just taste like chilli in a wrap.

Lauren & My Little Princess

Little Princess & Me

This week we only (hopefully) have 5 meals to plan for.  Hubby finishes work on Thursday and starts his new job next Monday, so we're having a celebratory dinner on Thursday.  Friday he's out at his leaving do, so just dinner for me. Saturday we're hoping to have a day out in the town and get dinner out, so seeing if my mum can look after the little one for us.  We'll stay over at theirs on Saturday night so no lunch to make on Sunday!  It'll be good to see them and catch up and for them to see the little one too.

So on to this weeks meal plan!

I'm linking up with Meal Planning Monday over at Mrs M's Page so why not pop on by and nosey at what everyone else is eating this week.

Hope you have a great week.  

Tiny Love Sunny Stroller

As a new mummy the one thing you dread is going out and your little one getting bored or hungry and starting to get disgruntled with everyone turning and staring at you.

Before our little one was born I'd got her an activity spiral, the type of toy that you attach to their car seat to keep them entertained.  I was around at a friends house a couple of weeks ago and her little one had the Tiny Love Sunny Stroller Toy that could attach to a car seat, bouncer or pram, really anything that has two bars that the clips can go on to.

What the little one see's

What we see

I watched her little one play with it and thought it was great as there's so much to keep them entertained.  A handle to pull to make the flower spin, a mirror that they can see themselves, a wee bug toy that they can pull, crinkle and play with and a ball in one of the flowers that they can spin.  As well as that, the flower and the butterfly both are made of crinkly material that they can have fun with making lots of noise.

As it has a claw clamp on it, it can be tightened and loosened by turning the little spinner.  It can be bent backwards or forwards to bring it closer or further away from the little one. It even is made that you can push the sides down further, (instead of being one ridged arch), towards the child so they can reach the toys easier. It teaches them so many things, coordination for touching and reaching things and improving their motor skills.

Pushed down at the left side

Claw clamp that attaches to the chair, pram, car seat

Being a new mummy I get rather excited about anything the little one does. When she reached out to touch the bug for the first time I just thought she was brilliant. I love seeing her grow and develop and seeing her now make the flower spin on her own, multiple times, just makes me smile at how much she is growing and how well she is developing.

Little one, JD, playing

I'm really glad I bought this, I think it was £20 well spent. We mainly use it on her bouncer seat in the house. I love the seat we chose for her as its Winnie the Pooh but the toys on it aren't great. They're just hard plastic and don't really catch her attention, they do rattle but they aren't interactive and it really annoys me that Winnie the Pooh is backwards and doesn't even face her!  Whereas this keeps her entertained when I'm trying to get some things done.

It feels good quality so should hopefully last for another set of hands to enjoy it.  The one I bought is obviously aimed a girls, however, there is the Tiny Love Sunny Stroll which is aimed more at boys.

My little one enjoys it, hopefully your little one might too.

(This isn't a sponsored post, I just wanted to share my thoughts about this toy.)

Mum's The Word Weekly Meal Plan - 15th April 2013

How has everyones week been?  Our's was one of those weeks that I'm glad to be over.  Not that anything really bad happened but it just seemed to be 'one of those weeks'.

The little one is nearly 5 months old and I've been holding off starting weaning properly as the Health Visitors/Midwives recommend now a days that you wait until 6 months before doing so. Over the past wee while I've given her small bits of mashed up banana which she seems to have enjoyed and hasn't  had any problems with.  

This week I had some apples left, so pureed them and gave her some on Monday...Bedtime that night was awful, I was trying to make dinner, hubby was trying to get her to settle in bed and she was inconsolably crying.  It was terrible, she just about stopped crying for me.  It took us over an hour to get her settled, staying by her cot, trying to rub her hand to console her and get her to go over to sleep (normally she's very good).  Tuesday was no better, exact same thing, inconsolable crying and it just wasn't like her.  I hated seeing her like that, she must have been such pain.  Suddenly I put two and two together and thought it might be the apple that was causing it.  On Wednesday I didn't give her any and low and behold she went down perfectly without a fuss! ..... I think we'll leave apple off the menu for her for a while!  

Needless to say this week I've had some dinner mishaps due to having dinner on and then attending to the little one.  I was cooking the stir fry on Monday I turned my back for a minute or two to get something for hubby (to attend the crying child), looked back and the pan was black from the honey cooking. - Great!  I thought dinner was going to be ruined but kept on with it anyway, surprisingly it turned out rather tasty!

Disaster number 1

The Salt & Pepper Chicken (Salted Chilli Chicken) turned out OK too but was maybe a tad overdone.  We tried Utterly Scrummy's Sausage & Vegetable Hot Pot, I thought it was really nice but hubby wasn't really enthused so think it'll be a recipe just for me for the future.  The Spicy Tuna Fish Cakes were a real hit and as they made eight patty's we had them two nights in a row.  Fajita Lasagna turned into ordinary fajitas as we were out on Saturday in Belfast and then had popped into the in-laws...let's just say an impromptu bath had to happen for the little one ('nuff said) and so by the time I was starting dinner it was late and by the time we were eating it was about 9pm.

During the week, hubby also found a warning light had come on his car dash.  I'm taking it to get looked at tomorrow but from googling it it could be about £1000 - £1500 to fix - Just wonderful!  Whilst we were out on Saturday we heard this really bad rattle from his car too, it almost sounded like a clip had come off and some pipes were loose but we can't seem to see where it's coming from. It seems to have disappeared (for now) but not looking forward to what that problem may be.  We got told at the service recently that his brakes need changed too (front & back). Oh and to top it all off we ran out of oil on Saturday night!

I was meant to be meeting a friend on Sunday and so decided to change from a roast to something quick and easy.  We ended up having the left over fajitas for lunch and the Baked Pasta Dish for dinner.  You can find the recipe here http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/6032/the-baked-pasta-dish.aspx.  It's a great bulk dinner as you make the sauce once which makes 5 portions, pop in the freezer and then next time only have to cook the pasta, stir through and bake - yummy!

This week we are having the following:  

The sausage casserole is a recipe my mum gave us and hubby loves this so much that I think this is why he didn't enjoy the other recipe this week as much.  I'll do a post on it later in the week.

Spanish chicken is going to be a new recipe for us from Mum Reinvented's blog so looking forward to trying that.  Mediterranean Chicken is the Coleman's season and shake sachet - it's so simple but tasty!

Hubby came up with the meatball sub - this will be our own creation and I'll probably cheat and buy the meatballs.

Beef and Bean Burritos is another new recipe I found on The Resourceful Cook website/blog so hopefully it'll be scrummy as I like the sound of it.

Hopefully we'll have a better week this week.  

What are you having this week?

I'm linking up with Mrs M's Meal Planning Monday, so why not have a nosey at what everyone else is having this week.

Spicy Tuna Fish Cakes

Spicy Fish Cakes - yum!

I don't know about you but I'm not a big fish eater.  I would love to enjoy fish more, especially as it's so good for you, but if only it didn't taste so fishy! I only eat tuna and salmon out of a tin (I get mocked that it has to be out of a tin but the fresh stuff tastes, well, more fishy.

My mum used to make salmon fish cakes when we were at home and they were nice.  I've made them since being married but was searching the net for something different and came across these.  The recipe makes 8 fish cakes and so this should serve 4 people depending on how hungry you are.  We found two each was plenty.

Of course you know what I'm going to say, don't you?! This was yet another ad hoc recipe, I had checked the recipe but wasn't buying Dijon mustard just for this and so just used the powdered English mustard that I had in the cupboard.  I didn't add in the onion as I didn't have one to hand and used crushed garlic instead of garlic granules.

When mixing everything in the bowl I was worried if it would taste ok as the mustard smell was very strong but it was surprising how well the flavours blended together.  These were really tasty and I'd definitely make them again, hubby loved them too which is an added bonus.

Ingredients

1 large potato, peeled and cubed
320g tinned tuna, drained
1 egg
1/4 onion, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or English mustard)
1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs, or as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic granules (or crushed garlic cloves to taste)
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or seasoning (I used mixed herbs)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Method 

Put the potato in a small pot with salted water. Boil until the potato is tender, drain and steam dry for a minute or two then mash.

In a bowl add the tuna, egg, onion, mustard, breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper into the mashed potato until mixed through. Divide the mixture into 8 equal patties.

Heat the oil in the frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the fish cakes until browned and crisp. Approx 3 mins each side.

Salt & Pepper Chicken (Salted Chilli Chicken)

I found this recipe online when I was looking for something different to make for dinners.  It's pretty simple to make and tasty too, it's not exactly the same as the salted chilli chicken that you'd get from the chinese but I still think it's yummy.  You could add more chilli in to taste or perhaps find a way of making it more salty to try and make it more like the chinese if you preferred.  I also cook it for longer as I don't think their timings are right as how could the chicken possibly be cooked in a few minutes. So judge it until the chicken is cooked through.

Salt & Pepper Chicken (Salted Chilli Chicken)

Ingredients (Serves 2)

1 Large green pepper (I sometimes would use a red as well as I like the red flavour better)
1 Large onion
2 Garlic cloves
2 Green or red chillies (or more to taste)
3 - 4 Chicken breasts
90g Breadcrumbs
3 - 4 Pinches of salt
3 - 4 Pinches of sugar
3 Tablespoons olive oil

Method

Slice the chilli peppers, onion pepper and garlic (I crush the garlic for ease) and leave to one side.

Cut the chicken breasts into medium bite sized pieces and coat them in the breadcrumbs.

Heat the oil in the frying pan or wok and add the chicken pieces. Leaves to cook for 3 - 4 minutes on a low - medium heat.

Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Mix the ingredients together and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add salt and sugar and cook until the chicken is cooked and the breadcrumbs are brown.

Serve with boiled rice or as a starter with dip.

Enjoy and let me know how yours turned out.

Mum's The Word Weekly Meal Plan - 8th April

Well, how was everyone's week? Hope everyone had a good one and the Monday morning blues haven't set in.  I must admit that's one think I love about being off on maternity leave not thinking on a Sunday about work.

Anyway, I'm linking up with Mrs M again this week.  Our meals went generally to plan last week but the Smoky Philly Chicken got bumped to the side again as the little one was taking ages to get over to sleep so we ended up making burgers instead as a late dinner. I'm leaving it off this week but hopefully will have it next week as I love it and haven't had it in ages!

This weeks plan:-

Monday - Sweet Chilli Chicken Stir fry

Tuesday - Baked Pasta Dish

Wednesday - Salted Chilli Chicken

Thursday - Sausage, Vegetable and Pearl Barley Hotpot

Friday - Spicy Tuna Fish Cakes

Saturday - Chicken Fajita Lasagna

Sunday - Roast of some sort

The baked pasta dish and spicy tuna fish cakes are recipes that I found online a while ago.  The baked pasta dish is really nice and makes 5 portions so it's one which is good to put in the freezer for a later date.  I haven't tried the tuna fish cakes but they sound nice so will blog about them this week.

The sausage, vegetable and pearl barley hotpot is a recipe I'm trying from Utterly Scrummy, so looking forward to making and tasting it.

Chicken fajitas are one of my cousins favourites, his absolutely fabulous wife blogs over at You Big Eejit.  You can find the recipe here http://bigeejit.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/chicken-fajita-lasagna.html.

What are you all having this week?

Smokey Philly Chicken Recipe

Lauren over at You Big Eejit has requested this recipe so here it is. No photos as I haven't made it this week yet but will add when I have.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 tbsp oil
4 chicken breasts
1 large onion thinly sliced (I dice mine)
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tbsp plain flour
2 tsp smoked paprika (add more or less to taste)
200ml chicken stock
400g tin chopped tomatoes
120g Philadelphia extra light
Chopped parsley to garish (optional)

Method

Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan with a lid.

Add the chicken and brown for 3 - 4 mins each on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil and saute the onion for 2 mins until it starts to soften, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute.

Sprinkle over the flour and paprika and cook, stirring for a further minute.

Slowly pour in the stock, stirring all the time to avoid lumps, then add the tomatoes.

Return the chicken to the pan and simmer, covered for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Spoon a couple of spoons of the sauce into a separate bowl and beat in the philly until smooth. Add this to the pan and season to taste and cook for a further 2 - 3 mins.

Serve each chicken breast with the sauce spooned over and scattered with parsley.

I serve with broccoli and a baked potato.

Enjoy!

Hairy Bikers Chilli Salad Bowls Recipe

A while back we were flicking through the TV channels and came across the Hairy Bikers Dieters' series.  The episode we happened to stumble upon was them making their chilli salad bowls.  Hubby and I both like chilli and I'd often make it but get bored having it with rice or a baked potato so we were keen to try this out.  We loved it and now if making chilli would have this as our first choice.  I omit a few ingredients and through in also kidney beans and chick peas to bulk it out a bit.

Chilli Salad Bowls' before lashings of sour cream

 Ingredients (serves 4)

300g/10½oz lean minced beef (less than 10% fat)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander (Optional)
1 tsp hot chilli powder
2 tbsp tomato purée
½ tsp caster sugar
300ml/½ pint beef stock, made with 1 beef stock cube
4 large flour tortillas
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 romaine lettuce or 3 baby gem lettuces, leaves thickly shredded
3 ripe vine tomatoes, sliced
15cm/6in piece cucumber, sliced
4 spring onions, trimmed and sliced (Optional)
½ lime, juice only
40g/1½oz mature cheddar
4 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
4 tbsp fresh tomato salsa sauce (Optional)
flaked sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
red kidney beans (Optional)

chick peas (Optional)

Method

Put the minced beef, onion and garlic in a medium non-stick saucepan and cook over a high heat for five minutes, stirring with two wooden spoons to break up any clumps of meat. Stir in the cumin, coriander and chilli and cook for two minutes more, stirring constantly. Add the tomato purée, sugar and beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and leave to simmer gently over a low heat for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and stir the chilli mixture occasionally.

While the beef is cooking, prepare the tortilla bowls. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Take a sheet of foil about 1 metre/40in long and scrunch it up into a ball about 10cm/4in in diameter. Place it in the centre of a large baking sheet.

Take a tortilla and brush the centre on one side with a little of the oil – this will help prevent it sticking to the foil. Drape the tortilla over the ball of foil, oil-side down, pinching and loosely pleating it to create a bowl shape. 

Tortilla bowls ready for the oven

Bake for five minutes until the bowl shape is set and the tortilla is lightly crisped.

Take the tortilla out of the oven and carefully remove it from the foil – it should be just cool enough to handle. Place the tortilla on an upturned tumbler and press to create a flat base on which to turn the tortilla once cold. 

Moulding on the pint glass to make the bowl shape

The tortilla should still be warm enough to mould to the shape of the glass. Leave to cool while you make the next bowl in the same way. Put each upturned tortilla on a plate as soon as it is ready.

Ready for the filling

Remove the lid from the pan of beef and turn the heat up high. Cook for a further 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef is looking fairly dry. Take the pan off the heat.

Toss the lettuce with the tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions and lime juice. Divide the salad between the tortilla bowls and season with black pepper, then top with the hot mince. Coarsely grate some cheddar over each serving and add some crème fraîche and salsa. Tuck in while the beef is warm.

Enjoy!!

Raspberry and white chocolate scones - what not to do

One of my friends I was visiting with recently is taking a cooking/baking course and kindly let me taste some of the goodies.

The goodies on the go this day were raspberry and white chocolate scones. Hers were divine, light, amazingly scrummy and not too sweet. She sent me home with some and hubby and I devoured them. She gave me the recipe so I thought I'd give them a go, after all how hard could it be?

Firstly, (and you'd think this would only be sense) always make sure you've read the recipe so that you have the right ingredients in. Of course, I wasn't this smart! I'd taken a quick glance at the recipe before going out to get the weekly shop and only saw that I needed to get soda bread flour.

I started measuring the ingredients and then suddenly saw that I needed buttermilk..Of course I didn't have buttermilk, it's not something I keep in the house. So online I headed to see if I could make my own (recipe for disaster this especially when the local shop is only 5 minutes away).  I found a website which advised using 1 tablespoon of white vinegar per cup of milk. I thought it was worth a punt so bulldozed on anyway.

Another tip not to do is bake when trying to run a conversation, again something you'd thing is common sense after all you need to concentrate on what you're doing. My lovely mother in law came round and as I'd started baking thought I'd keep going. This of course led to scanning the recipe (I'm not very good at reading and listening at the same time) and throwing in probably a little extra of some ingredients.. This recipe was doomed from the start.

They actually didn't turn out too bad. (rather surprisingly!) After the first batch were cut out of the dough the raspberries started to ooze out when I tried to push the mixture together to get the rest cut out (I guess this is what happens when you put the whole box of raspberries in!) so they turned out a little darker when cooked but once the chocolate was drizzled over them they don't look too bad.

Scones after cooking

The final product

Not a total disaster but not the best attempt in baking at all. If you want to try making these and not making all the rookie mistakes I did here's how!

Ingredients

600g Soda Bread flour
75g Butter
75g Caster sugar
Pinch of salt
Punnet of raspberries (200g - can be less or more depending on how many you like in your scones)
50g White chocolate grated plus a little extra to drizzle on top
325 - 360ml buttermilk (don't let them get too wet or they won't rise)
1 egg beaten with a little milk to brush over the top to glaze scones

Method

Rub the butter into flour and salt until it resembles breadcrumbs, add sugar and grated white chocolate.

Make a well in the centre, pour in the buttermilk gradually and mix to a soft elastic consistency (until it's just damp enough to pick up dry ingredients off edge of bowl, but not sticky).

Put mixture onto a floured surface, gently knead, roll out with floured rolling pin until about 1 1/2cm thick.

Place washed raspberries on half of it and fold other half on top of them.

Level dough out and cut out with cutter.

Place on baking tray with flour on it.  Leave soon between scones.

Brush tops with the egg wash.

Bake in a hot oven 210 oC, 200 oC for fan oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

You know they're ready when you tap the bottom of them and they sound hollow.

Leave to cool on rack before melting a little white chocolate and drizzling it over the top of them.

Hopefully yours will turn out better than my attempt!

Mum's The Word weekly meal plan - w/c 1st April

Hope everyone had a good week and a lovely Easter break. Was there plenty of chocolate consumed?

Last weeks meal plan ended up a bit all over the place with meals planned for one day but eaten on a different day. Friday was completely bad for some reason and we ended up with take out, it was rather tasty though! Oh well, we all have to slip off the wagon at some point.  This week will hopefully go more to plan.

Some meals are repeating from last week as we didn't end up having them. Mrs M has also inspired the quesadilla's as she had them last week and it reminded me that we hadn't had them in a long time.

Anyway, on to this weeks meal plan.

Monday - Remainder of the Hairy Bikers Chilli but on baked potatoes
Tuesday - Left over turkey, stuffing, vegetables and mash with lashings of gravy.
Wednesday - Omelette's
Thursday - Quesadillas
Friday - Sweet and Sour Chicken (remainder from the freezer)
Saturday - Smokey Philly Chicken, broccoli and baked potato
Sunday - Some sort of roast or may be invited to the in-laws.

What are you eating this week?

Don't forget to head over to Mrs 's page for more yummy ideas.

Have a good week!
