Cooking is one of my favourite passtimes. Recently a friend suggested I should blog my weekly menu. So I am going to try and do this for the rest of the year. Most of the time I cook for 2 adults and two primary school age kids but as you will see most weeks we either entertain or do a meal from someone else or both.
Saturday night: Beef Curry, Rice and salad. I made double so put the rest in the freezer for another night. My kids don't like it spicy so I added yoghurt to theirs and also added a little more curry after removing theirs.
Sunday: We had a friend over for lunch so I made Macaroni cheese, salad and bread for lunch. We had apricot cake for dessert. We had the leftovers for our evening meal.
Monday: Fresh bread, A platter with carrot, celery and tomato with Mayonnaise and yoghurt dip, Salmon and a fruit platter.
Tuesday: Tonight we had Granny and Grandpa over for dinner. I made Roast chicken with Stuffing, roast vegetables and broccoli with Gravy. Granny made Apple strudel for dessert.
Wednesday: Kids cooking night. My kids take turn to cook dinner with me. They have to decide what we cook. Mr 8 was on cooking this week. He decided on Macaroni cheese, a salad with Carrot, cheese, corn, and sultana's.
Thursday: My original idea was to turn the leftover vegetables from the roast on Tuesday into a salad and make filled pita breads with the salad and the cold chicken. However it was really cold on Thursday so I heated leftovers up and toasted the pita breads. I made a ginger steam pudding for dessert.
Friday: Beef cottage pie. A yummy vegetable and beef stew topped with potato and then heated in the oven so the potato was crunchy. I made double and gave it to a family who are in the process of moving house to have earthquake repairs done.
