This week, I’ve got a few new recipes – one breakfast and two mains. The recipes for the ham, egg and spinach cups and the lentil and vegetable curry have been posted. The last recipe will be tested during the week and should be posted next week. Last week’s cabbage roll recipe needs some tweaking so it hasn’t made it to the blog this week.

This week’s breakfast is a new recipe – with ham, eggs and spinach baked in the oven. The recipe can be found here.
Lunch for Monday and Tuesday is a redo of the lentil and vegetable curry that I tried a few months back. I’ve tweaked the original recipe and the result can be found here.
Monday’s dinner is pan-fried steak with peas and broccoli cooked in the same pan while the meat rests and also onions sautéed in a separate pan.
We’ve got a houseguest on Tuesday night, so I’m going to do the sausages with cauliflower and white bean purée. I’m going to substitute the peas with pan-fried mushrooms. The recipe is here.
Wednesday and Thursday’s lunch will be another new recipe – chicken and vegetables with miso pesto. The draft recipe is below.
We are out on Wednesday and Thursday nights, so no cooking.
