We bought a couple of ham steaks recently, and Jac asked me what I’d like to eat with them. I said I’d love grilled pineapple rings and coleslaw. Of course this was no problem at all for Jac to do. :) This was the coleslaw Jac had made on Sunday afternoon. I may have mentioned […]
In our bento boxes last Wednesday: leftover Original Recipe KFC, which I’d taken off the bone so it would easy and less messy to eat. Cherry tomatoes. KFC sandwiches (“recipe” at the end of this post). A little bread and butter. Corn on the cob. Salad made with leftover cooked vegetables (butternut pumpkin, potato, broccoli) [&hel…
Jac told me not to worry about making up a bento box for her last Monday; she just took a serve of macaroni cheese to work for her lunch. So in my bento box I packed: leftover macaroni cheese, crispy fried turkey SPAM cubes with fresh cherry tomatoes, honey and mustard carrots, blanched snow peas […]
Jac likes to cook up a big breakfast on Sunday mornings. This was last Sunday’s fry-up. Pork chipolatas, tomatoes, button mushrooms and eggs. She cooked the mushrooms with butter and a couple of whole garlic cloves. Jac’s plate, with her egg over easy. You may have noticed she’s removed the skin from her tomatoes. She […]
Last Sunday Jac made turkey meatballs, two ways. The first batch were eaten with large spiral pasta in a tomato sauce with mushrooms, peas and carrots in it. I’ve mentioned before that Jac likes to sneak in as many vegetables as she can when she makes a pasta sauce. She still thinks she has trick […]
We ate the last of the Nandos chicken with fresh spinach, grape tomatoes and mushrooms, and Jac made a pasta salad. As you can see, there wasn’t a lot of chicken on my plate. We’d eaten almost half a chicken each, so there wasn’t much left over for the next day! I loved the pasta […]
A couple of people recently asked how Jac made the garlic butter for the garlic bread (as featured on this recent post). Here’s the recipe: Garlic butter 200 grams of unsalted butter, softened 4 plump cloves’ worth of chopped garlic 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley Leave the butter out of the fridge for a few […]
I woke up on Monday last week with a hankering for French toast. So intense was this hankering that I was compelled to make French toast for my breakfast before I went to work. I was pretty impressed with myself. TFP’s early morning French toast Cut three slices of bread into halves. Beat two eggs […]
Monday – I’d been looking forward to eating the pizza left over from Friday. We ate the pizza cold, of course. J brought in homemade soup for us both to eat with the leftover pizza. It was delicious and comforting, perfect for a cool autumn’s day lunch. And J very generously gave me her recipe […]
Quite a few people emailed and left comments asking about Jac’s creamy mushroom sauce which we had with T-bone steaks recently. There wasn’t a recipe as such – Jac made it up on the night using whatever was in the fridge and pantry. But I asked if she’d jot it all down for you guys, […]
