Weekly meals plan

[Disco]

While I cooked a gammon the other day and can't manage to get any into my mouth there's so much other stuff to eat! I'm going to slice it all up and freeze it.

We had M&S mini pies for breakfast/ lunch today followed by sausage rolls. :oink: :winch:

[Mountain Goat]

I had sausage rolls followed by cold sausages.

I watched John Torode and Lisa Faulkner make an orzo dish out of pigs in blankets earlier and thought "I would".

Oh god. I am bracing myself for the volley of Swedes. :) What's Briam?

[Mountain Goat]

swedes! Swedes would be fine. :))

[kiwi]

It's a Greek dish, usually made with courgette, aubergine, potato, layered with tomato and slow baked with feta on top. All Cretan restaurants have a version of this that is a secret recipe made by their Grandmother. :)) I can't remember if I saw a recipe for a root veg version or if I made it up, but the bloody root veg has got to get eaten somehow.

They’re in the freezer, cooked and mashed with carrot for our next Sunday lunch.

I think I'll do this with mine rather than have it in my planned casserole. I love buttery, peppery mashed swede and carrot.

[wendy james]

It was a staple of childhood dinners, and is how I eat most swedes we get. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it more fresh!

[Disco]

Yes, it's the only way I eat swede but thought I'd incorporate it into casserole but it's better on the side I think. Plus I don't want it to interfere with my dumplings
