Anything from mundane to magical - let us know what you’re eating this week!
I prepped and froze a bunch of smash burger patties last week so we’ll be having burgers at some point. I like bacon and blue cheese on mine. Might do some tater tots on the side.

I just made some glazed salmon tonight. It was pretty good.
bought 3L of gazpacho for the morning and some shrimps for the evening
Still working on this week’s menu but last week was pretty eventful:
- grilled individual pizzas
- zucchini slice (sorta a crustless quiche)
- buffalo chicken Nachos and queso
- prosciutto and Fig Sandwiches w/lemon artichoke quinoa salad
- beef dragon noodles w/roasted broccoli and almond salad
trying to pickle cabbage today, hope will not die of poisoning ;)
Tried yesterday the eggplant saganaki recipe of Akis. Very good!
I made a thai vegetable curry the other day with chickpeas that was so good. There’s a thai restaurant in town that does a curry dish that is topped with raw red onion, and I’ve been super into doing that and tons of lime when I make it too
I’ve never had curry but I like onion and lime! Is it hard to make?
It’s not very hard to make. I very loosely follow this recipe
not the person you asked but: generally no.
Chickpeas (and really anything dried larger than lentils) can be a bit tricky. Definitely check the instructions on the ingredient to see if it lines up with the recipe. We had one attempt where the chickpeas were still inedibly tough when everything else was cooked. I’ve never actually managed to get dried beans to properly rehydrate with less than multiple hours of cooking so I stopped bothering.

Simple start to the week.
Things on our menu this week:
Tonight: taco salad
Tomorrow: fish and shrimp ceviche
Later this week: roasted whole chicken, baked potatoes
Then probably a leftover night if they aren’t eaten as lunches.
Today I had lentils, rice, olives, sardines, and bread. Oh, and some tea.
It’s an absolutely scorching 26 degrees here on the West coast of Scotland and it’s an obscene heat for here and I am currently struggling to think of things to make that are suitable for this weather.
I made slow cooker chilli on Saturday as that didn’t require slaving over the cooker, so didn’t mind. Next night was 5 spice chicken salad and then BLTs last night, which went down a treat.
It was 26 here yesterday and let me tell you, I have never regretted my decisions more than I did 20 minutes after putting that pasta bake in the oven.
It’s 29 today and I WAS thinking of soup :/
Pasta / potato salads are nice when it’s too hot to eat anything warm
I have some boar sausages that have been floating around my freezer for too long. Thinking up some creative ideas to use it. Right now the front runner is to make a pot pie with it similar to chicken pot pie with potatoes, leeks and some other frozen veg
In the past week I’ve made sourdough baguettes and batards, tuna melt, a grilled tri-tip and homemade guacamole.
Trying to work up the motivation to do collard greens sauteed with merguez sausage, and maybe later a broccoli cheddar soup.
The world’s plainest, most comforting food ever: Grilled cheese.
I also plan on making macaroni with ground turkey in it mixed with mushroom soup.
Basically we’re a little frugal this week :P
Nothing wrong with that. Some of my favorite meals are struggle meals. Are you going to do tomato soup with the grilled cheese?
That second meal I call lazy man’s beef stroganoff. I do use ground beef vs turkey tho.
Not too sure if I have tomato soup but I Do have a kinda gross (in that “this is probably not healthy for me, im eating it anyway” way) can of spaghetti that is calling my name, so thank you for the idea!
Don’t say no to those spaghettiOs 🎶
Oh I love mushroom mac and cheese (mac and cheese made with canned condensed cream of mushroom soup). My go to cheap meal used to be eggs baked in frozen diced potatoes with cheese but the price of eggs went up so much.
I wanna try out a macaroni like that. Sounds delicious and like you could do it in one pot with minimal cleanup.
I got some cheddar jalapeño brats to grill, and some chorizo and eggs for tacos. Nice and simple is the way I like to go most of the time!
Oh damn that sounds good… do you simmer your brats in beer or anything or just put them straight on the grill?
Bought 2 cans of chick peas & tahini sauce. Blended all them hummus and froze most of them for later
I’ve never been super into hummus… does it freeze well?
I separate them to 2 servings size each container. Thawing overnight in the fridge is gentle enough. I’m able to finish them within a month so it’s all good.
They go great with bread & lamb chops
