Tonight we've had pork chops, mushrooms, boiled new potatoes, carrots and green beans. A flat white and a buttered scone for dessert.

One of my favourites tonight, bacon and butternut squash risotto with hard Italian cheese, chopped fresh chilli, lemon juice and flat leaf parsley.
Strawberries, meringue and cream for pud

For everyone having chops - did this advert have any impact?

I really like the sound of that risotto, must try it sometime

Last night I had chicken skewers - 2 with bulgogi sauce, 2 with jerk BBQ sauce. Also present were two corn on the cobs and steamed broccoli and carrots.

It’s on the Hello Fresh website under” Italian“ which we’ve adapted but basically cook like a normal risotto and mix in 1cm cubes of pre roasted squash at the end. They’ve got a prawn, tomato and leek one too which I quite fancy trying

You have to use arborio rice, just in case you didn't know.

Full English breakfast for lunch.

Fish fingers, potato wedges and baked beans for tea.

Eating healthy today - not. I'll make up for it tomorrow

It's hard not to love roasted squash... and bacon is just the clincher

I can't use Uncle Ben's microwave rice?!

Dinner tonight was leftover chicken/mushroom/cheese sauce thing, with a bit more salad. Super healthy dessert was peanut butter pretzel nuggets and a cup of tea.

Not to make risotto. It has to be arborio to get the creamy, chewy consistency.

Ah, shoot. Back to the shop I go.

Yesterday's lunch was a BBQ at work so didn't need much dinner - I just had Parlick Fell cheese with olive (in the cheese that is), and crackers too.

Quick tea last night was a shop bought chicken breast stuffed with pesto and cheese in a ciabatta and herb crumb, with some new potatoes and salad
Fresh strawberries with meringue and cream for pud

 

[Riiiiik]

Ah, shoot. Back to the shop I go.

It will be worth it. Trust me.

Very large omelette filled with red onion, mushroom, bell pepper, tomato and ham. With oven chips as a side. Italian lemon ice cream for dessert last night.

All sounds good - especially the lemon ice cream!

Last night we had takeaway pizzas - feta, olive and veg, Philly cheese steak, and cheesy marmite bread strips. Same again tonight, with a cold beer (Shipyard American pale ale) in the garden.
