Back to menu planning today - I'm crazy not to. Five minutes planning today saves a good hour or more of anguish later in the week.Tonight: chicken and potato provencale {pictured}
Wednesday: steak and salad
Thursday: shepherds pie, mushy peas and sweet potato chips
Friday: Friends for dinner. They're bringing the last of the duck confit they brought back from france and I'm supplying potatoes roasted in duck fat, almonds and green beans, green salad, baguettes and a lemon tart for afters. Champagne will be consumed.
Saturday: Family gathering to celebrate father-in-law's 75th birthday. We're all taking a hot dish to share so I'm making beef bourguinon that I'll cook on Friday and taking buttered potatoes and baguettes. Might make a batch of Nigella's brownies to take along as well.
Sunday: Roast chicken and vegies
Monday: chorizo pasta bake - and a big celebration that school is back!

ST - it was a recipe in a Coles magazine - dead easy. Pasta, bottled spicy tomato pasta sauce, chopped chorizo, diced capsicum and about 2 tablespoons of cream. Cook pasta, then mix them all together. Pour into a shallow dish, cover with grated cheese and bake for 25 mins at 180 degrees.
ReplyDeleteFriday.I need to come to your house on Friday.
