I was in the mood for something from Noodlebox for lunch on Thursday, but I packed Jac a bento lunch. I gave her basically the same lunch as I’d had the day before: meatballs and ranch dip, salad, marinated mushrooms and watermelon. I also packed her a mini Babybel cheese and some bread and butter […]
Jac didn’t need bento last Wednesday, so this is what I packed for myself. I used the two-box combo again. French toast and fresh fruit (strawberries and watermelon), meatballs with ranch dressing for dipping, marinated mushrooms (leftover from the broccoli salad we had on Monday night), and salad with a couple of leftover potato wedges [&hel…
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]
I packed this lunch for Jac for last Monday: tuna pasta salad she’d made on Sunday afternoon, korma turkey meatballs, a couple of fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes. To separate the pasta salad from the meatballs I used a strategically placed washed celery stalk, which Jac could eat with dip if she wished. She has […]
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 […]
Last Sunday evening, Jac made up a batch of meatballs using beef mince, garlic, onion and chopped carrot and celery. She panfried them until golden brown – they smelled absolutely mouth watering. You can see all the vegies in the raw meatballs pictured below. For dinner the following night we had the meatballs with linguine […]
I hope these photos will meet with your expectations after my sizzling steak video teaser! :) We celebrated Jac’s brother B’s birthday with a barbecue dinner on Sunday. Our contribution to the meal was a batch of Chinese meatballs. Well – Jac did all the work, really. All I did was read her the list […]
This was tonight’s dinner, an original Jac creation she calls “Meatball and mushroom casserole”. No recipe as such – she made the meatballs using lamb mince, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. She used both fresh and tinned sliced mushrooms. The gravy was made with beef stock and powdered gravy. She served the casserole with f…
Belated text to go with the pictures: This was a very basic cheese and mustard on toast. The cheese was Farmers Union Old Bitey (just the name makes me want to eat it! It is yuuuuuummy cheese!) and we used Australian mustard to add a little more bitey-ness. But just the cheese on its own […]
