Bit of a frugal one this week, I do like to set myself a challenge: 

Friday - Home made salmon fish cakes from the freezer with potato wedges and salad 

Saturday - Roast beef, roast potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, steamed carrots, cabbage, broccoli and gravy

Sunday - as above, make double the amount of veggies on Saturday, slice the beef, add to plates and microwave today 

Monday - trying to stretch a nice packet of bacon: meal 1: bacon, courgette, red pepper pasta

Tuesday - trying to stretch a nice packet of bacon: meal 2: bacon, veggie and paprika rice 

Wednesday - trying to stretch a nice packet of bacon: meal 3: bacon, broccoli, leek and pea pasta 

Thursday - trying to stretch a nice packet of bacon: meal 4: bacon and veggie pizza with potato wedges and salad 

All in one sausage and veggie bake

Not really a recipe, I just chucked a packet of sausages into a baking dish with chopped potato, sweet potato, onions, carrots and baked for 40 minutes in a hot oven, turning once.  Five minutes from the end of cooking time we added some frozen peas. 

The best vegan scones ever

... well I think so anyway.  My recent efforts at making light and tasty scones have been pretty ropey so I was delighted to find the recipe from this book.  It really works, they were just as scones should be.  I'll be using this recipe again.  We ate our scones with some home made butternut soup.  

Honey and oat bread

I used this recipe, so tasty.  

Ham, lentil and veggie soup

I had about 150g of a gammon joint left so I chopped this up and added it to some chopped onion, carrot, celery, sweet potatoes and 100g of lentils.  I sautéed and then added about 1.5 litres of chicken stock, from a cube.  

Treat of the week

The husband cooked me a 'welcome home from hospital' cake, a vegan victoria sponge, and then he and the boys iced it.  The cake tasted amazing and it felt so good to be home.
