It's a use up onions day today.

I have a lot of kitchen gadgets, so onions are currently in both the dehydrator for onion powder, and in the slow cooker to make a stock.
 
One of the horse ladies dropped off a bag of oranges for me today. The plan is to make juice, freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray and use the peel for a cleaning spray. And then maybe dump it in a garden bed to deter pests, but that only works on a very small scale.

Its been very nice not to have mass dishes when I do a few days straight of freezer meals 3 times a day.

Great use of all those oranges!
Got bought a bag of mushrooms on Monday, my dad was at this fruit and veg shop and asked if I wanted anything. Did the quickest mental inventory of my cupboards and got some mushrooms. So I was able to have mushroom stroganoff this week, not too much cooking required in this heat.

Got the fishcakes out of the freezer, they're salmon ones, so I'll use some of my allotment new potatoes and have a salad with it. Probably won't need the new potatoes but I need to cook some up.
 
I bought the wrong pork joint 😭 I planned to do bbq pulled pork and I don't know if I can with this joint.

I've done that. Got the wrong roast. It was too lean so hard to make gravy.

Banana Peanut Butter Bars - Weet-Bix

The classic combo of banana and peanut butter come together in this perfect winter snack.

I'm gonna make this cos I brought bulk weetbix and they give me heartburn on their own. Maybe the fat in this will help.

I have more oranges. Possibly even more tomorrow if I run some of this weetbix slice to the lady with the orange tree.
 
I need to cook up the rest of the new potatoes that I dug up.

Also need to take the pork joint out of the freezer and figure out what to do with that.
 
I am trying overnight weetbix. Just did a small tub tonight to try in the morning. If it works, I'll do it until I am sick of it.

I was right about the weetbix slice, with other ingredients it doesnt set me off. I much prefer the sugar and butter version over the banana tho 😜

Weetbix are so cheap that I think I will try many more recipes with them. This is just like my bran phase, but now with wheat!
 
I’m super proud of myself you guys!

Here’s my meal plan for the week
Breakfast: avocado 🥑 toast with egg 🥚
Lunch: black bean and rice burritos with salsa
Dinner: tofu curry 🍛 with rice

I got a whole weeks worth of food for my weekly Walmart delivery and managed to stay under my budget! And that INCLUDES my $30 bag of dog food, tip and batteries! I’m killing it.

I couldn't manage rice twice in a day all week! But then I don't really eat lunch anyway.

I do need to use up some eggs though, so might have egg for breakfast tomorrow.

Yeah by the end of the week I will def be sick of it for sure!
I might bake a cake today, just a Victoria sponge type. Pretty sure I've got a cake mix here, got eggs, jam, think icing sugar to make butter cream. I might even have a few blueberries left to pick to add into it
 
Yep, Im obsessed with this overnight weetbix. I rarely feel like eating in the morning, but this works great. The protein pudding I use on top has been half price, but it's so good I might even consider paying full price for it. Especially if it gets me eating breakfast everyday. I really struggle with eating regular meals and breakfast is the best place to start!

I accidentally used too much milk in tonight's prep, so I hope I don't muck up the texture and put myself off it. Its working so well when I don't have to think about breakfast, its just there. Its hard enough to decide what to wear!
 
Managed to still do bbq pulled pork with the joint, and made some stock as well.

Haven't baked yet, but will be simple chocolate fudge in the slow cooker for sweet treats this week.

Fudge!
I've got a nut roast lurking in the cupboard that I got in the post Christmas sale, so I'll cook that up for a few meals next week.
 
Planning my tesco delivery for September, won't need as much day to day food, but want to take snacks for the cruise. So that on the sea days if there's a film I want to watch in the room I don't have to pay for room service!
 
I lasted 10 days on the overnight weetbix before going off it and craving Vegemite haha. I might see if I can manage eggs on english muffins with Vegemite for breakfast for a few days. I didnt have breakfast today. My default is no breakfast but I definitely have better eating patterns during the day if I do eat breakfast. (Its currently 1pm and I have eaten a slice of carrot and cup of tea all day).

Having those kangaroo mince pinwheels from the freezer for lunch today. I really liked them a lot and maybe need to be something on regular rotation. The problem with being that homemade, its far harder to count calories. I can only guess.
 
Discovered I have bananas in the freezer so if I get some eggs I'll make banana bread. I do need to get some butter too, so I'll have a think and see if there's anything else I need before I go to the store.
