Every Monday I link up with Menu Plan Monday at The Organising Junkie. Because I don’t actively menu plan, I found that posting the plan retrospectively works for me. So my menu plans involve what I ate over the last week.
This week I had a bit more time, and so could experiment with some new recipes, including grilling lamb chops (instead of taking the easy option of slow-cooking) and making butter chicken, which I’d never had before but liked.
I also finally made kale pesto, and have a lot of it. I expect it to feature heavily in this week’s meals.
Monday – I had a vegetarian friend over for dinner and we had roasted sweet potato, red onion, garlic, Brussels sprouts and beetroot with quinoa, followed by leftover homemade strawberry ice cream.
Tuesday – Butter chicken (based on this recipe) made with tandoori chicken, zucchini and red capsicum (above).
Wednesday – Grilled lamb chops with grilled zucchini, red capsicum and red onion and a baked potato topped with sour cream.
Thursday – Nachos made with leftover pulled pork, cheese, avocado, lacto-fermented salsa, tomato and fresh coriander.
Friday – Fish and chips out with friends to celebrate a friend’s thesis review.
Saturday – By the time I got home after the election I was too tired to cook, but ate some homemade chocolate mousse.
Sunday – Grilled lamb chops with kale pesto, lacto-fermented ginger carrots and lacto-fermented garlic. I was getting a nasty cold to tried to bump up my immunity with the garlic and carrots.
What was on your menu last week?
Yummy, yummy! Lots of tasty meals here. Looking forward to meeting you at the Blog Chicks event on Thursday 🙂 I’m hopeless with names though, so if I stare at you blankly just hand me a business card LOL
Thanks for stopping by Kylie 🙂 I’m looking forward to meeting you too and luckily I managed to get some business cards rush-delivered this week 🙂
I think I caught your cold. 🙁
Oh no 🙁 I hope it didn’t spoil your holiday.
