I made this tonight, annoyingly it was good, I hate when I actually cook and it reminds me that I'm not a bad cook just a lazy one!

I've got leftovers for tomorrow and still a few mushrooms to use up. Might just do mushrooms on toast for lunch tomorrow.

I am often a lazy cook myself, as I hate spending an hour cooking and cleaning up a meal and under 10 minutes eating it.
Made cream cheese and bacon scrolls again, but half went to the neighbour. He gave me lettuce and capsicum from his garden and I had it as a BLT salad.

I have been craving plain spaghetti with sauce since watching survivor last night but I have no spaghetti because it always makes me legs hurt and I talk myself out of buying it. Even the gluten free stuff didnt help once I started having more than a tiny amount of it.
I have a ridiculous amount of flour so I will try make my own. The dough is in the fridge now. I dont have high hopes because I dont own a rolling pin, so I dont think its going to be a nice texture. But I have time and endless flour, so might as well give it a go. If it doesn't work, I have chicken defrosting in the fridge and a ranch salad ready to eat.

The frozen cauliflower cheese seems to have changed recipe or something, its just so much more watery now and I dont like it as much as the one I make. Its just SO much easier so I probably wont go back to making my own. Hopefully just a bad bag, even with crumbs and extra cheese it wasnt as nice as it used to be.
 
Chicken parma in the oven again now. I will have 2 serves to freeze and one to eat today.

One of the ladies just dropped a bag full of tomatoes off to me. Not sure what I will do with them considering I just made a tomato dish! But they are fresh so maybe just for salad. Fresh home grown are nicest eaten raw anyway.
 
My turkey drumstick only just fit into the airfryer! That's for curry and whatever else I can do from it.

I've never actually cooked turkey drumstick before, so I'm hoping it goes well.
 
So I made this potato soup recipe today, but was feeling lazy so I didn't peel the potatoes, but I sure wish I had! I also realized after the fact I didn't have a potato masher, so basically it was a total bust. Barely edible.

3-Ingredient Potato Soup (Without Milk)

This 3-ingredient potato soup is incredibly creamy, flavorful and filling. It's made without milk and is naturally vegan and dairy-free.

I have the ingredients for fried rice, which I have never made, so I may attempt that.

I'm trying to use up what I have in the house before I make my grocery list, but all I really have are: mushrooms, potatoes, peppers and onions and garlic. And rice. I wonder what I can make with those incredients.

I'd make stuffed potatoes, or stuffed peppers 😀 but I love the filling stuff.

Yesterday I had stir fry thai with mince, today will be Mexican salad and corn with mince.
 
I tried and failed with the piemaker haha. They are hard to get out! So I had 4 smooshed pies. The flavours were there... I gave the leftover filling to a neighbour to see if he has better luck with it, since I now have 4 pies to eat. The pastry wasnt very nice, I think that might be one worth buying name brand for instead of as cheap as I can get.

Lots of dishes to do now!

It was ok but I don't think I'd buy it again.

Ran out of bread yesterday but found a pack of crumpets in the freezer, so that's breakfast sorted.

I found ice cream in my freezer. Ice cream I had put in it on Monday.
BBQ Chicken kebabs planned tonight with coleslaw and garlic bread. Once I get enough energy to go cook it. Hopefully I will have some chicken leftover but I doubt I will with my appetite today!
 
I have been craving sausage sizzle since the show on Saturday. Instagram seems to know because its giving me all these Japanese reels of people cooking and trying sausage sizzle. So a nice easy aussie dinner, complete with bogan beer. I should have started cooking earlier cos now I am full of liquid bread.

Also, the onions stung my eyes! I was happy they did that - it hasnt happened in years so I though onions had lost their bite. I was so happy to feel the sting!

think that is just called BBQing here in Murica ;)
Waiting on my tesco confirmation before properly doing a meal plan. I did buy a quiche from aldi though, so I'll have that for the next few days, with, if they arrive new potatoes, and if they don't wedges. I've got coleslaw, chutneys and I think some beetroot sauerkraut that can all be added to it.

I've got plenty of eggs, but currently no butter, do I might have to wait to do any baking. Then I'll pick some of the rhubarb and bake something with it.
 
I have one of those great coleslaw bags too! I'm going to live on these now, so yum! Garlic prawns for lunch.
I will do an asian stir fry with another one of those premade bags, with whatever meat falls out of the freezer next.
I also have 4 more chocolate hot cross buns. And a whole lot of apples lol. Milo for arvo tea.
 
Chilli lime chicken marinating in the fridge now. Dont let me forget about it! Chillis from my neighbours garden, lime from mine. Was a battle to pick them through the bees!
 
I boiled up my eggs, so I'll just have ham and egg baguette with wedges tonight.

I'll get the sausages out of the freezer for the weekend.
 
Got bulk chicken today, so will make some chicken schnitzel to freeze and some for dinner with beetroot salad.
