Now that all the important worldwide sporting events are finished I should be able to get back into blogging more regularly, hehe!
A while ago I set myself a funny little challenge to give myself something to look forward to in my cooking for the week. While I was doing my menu plan I decided to cook pork belly on Sunday night. I have discovered a really nice recipe that I have cooked a few times by Jamie Oliver (B loves pork belly!!). Then when I was planning Monday night's dinner I wanted to use Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals book. I purchased this book a while ago and was yet to cook anything from it. After this I realised that I had two nights of Jamie Oliver recipes so thought I would carry it on for the whole week.
So here is how our week panned out:
(I did take a photo but for some reason is won't upload properly)
(Meat-Free) Monday: Cauliflower Curry
Tuesday: Pasta Putanesca
Wednesday: Leftover pasta (I work on Wednesdays so don't have time to cook when I get home)
Thursday: Beef Stew - was a bit ordinary and wouldn't cook it again
Friday: Leftover beef stew (again a work day)
Saturday: Chicken Nuggets (saw Jamie cook these on Oprah years ago and only every have these nuggets)
I would love to hear how you make life interesting when cooking - especially for kids.
Jodi, you've got to try the veg lasagne in the 30 minute meal book. I can't remember what it's called - maybe Spring Veg or Green Veg lasagne. We use all sorts of green veg in it. It's really good!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just looked it up (Summer Veg Lasagne). Looks good.
