Tonight: Dinner somewhere nearby in The Junction
Thursday: Roast Beef with the in-laws
Friday: Salmon {and I swear that this time I'm going to make it - promise!*}, wilted spinach and lemon baked potatoes.
Saturday: Spanish chicken with rice and a green salad
Sunday: Osso Bucco or some other slow cooked delight from the Farmers Markets along with fresh veg - whatever's appealing.
Monday: No netball, we have a bye. So to celebrate the first day back at school {woo hoo!} I'll cook lamb backstraps, braised french lentils, pumpkin mash and sweet potato chips for my lovely gal.
Tuesday: Ballet resumes so it's a slow cooker dish. Liss's curry chicken will do just nicely I think. With garlic naan, rice and green beans.
Wednesday: Slow cooker again - netball training. I'm going to go for a soup. Lots of veg, ham hocks and pulses - served with Sourdough from the new bakery in Hunter Street.
*Okay, I swear to god this is not my fault - but it's Friday and once again, I'm not making salmon. Honestly, I have no umbrage with salmon, but every single time I go to cook the damned stuff something happens. And, once again, has happened. Maybe I need to do a sneak sabotage salmon supper. That might work...
how do you manage to make your meal plan sound so glamourous? every time I read yours I think it not only sounds delicious, but tres special. The lamb backstrap sounds amazing, I've never cooked one before. Do you have any tips?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kylie,
ReplyDeleteoh, with backstraps I normally just season {salt + pepper, but sometimes parsley, garlic and lemon zest} and bring to room temperature. Then I sear them in a hot pan till golden brown all round and set to rest for 5 to 10 minutes until foil. I then slice them up into 2cm thick rounds. If you like them cooked more medium, pop them in the oven for up to 10 minutes on 160 degrees celcius.
Enjoy!
