Well bump turned into Baby Boy and so I missed last weeks meal plan as I was in hospital for most of the week! I’m home now and helping instruct the husband and the toddler in cooking whilst eating as much pate and brie as I can get my hands on…..
Monday; Homemade Quiche Lorraine, with boiled potatoes and salad
I do love a good quiche and it’s something that I don’t see very often out here. Luckily I do have an old recipe which is simple to make, so one (tantrummy) afternoon the husband and the toddler made this for dinner. The pastry was a little wonky but it was full of bacon and quite frankly delicious, the whole lot went in a day. And it was a big quiche. Oops.
Tuesday; Burgers, potato salad and garden salad
We had leftover burgers and buns from our barbeque a couple of weeks ago week, it would have been rude not to eat them, and they are good “man” cooking food, no help required from me
Wednesday; Pasta Bake with Chorizo and Garlic Bread
Simple, from a jar, loads of cheese and oozy bread. Delicious, need to keep my energy up now I am breast feeding…
Thursday; Takeaway
Takeaway treat and I am still craving curry. My personal pick is a mild, creamy, chicken korma.
Side note; we have found the BEST curry house in Dubai, that delivers to us (we are in the Springs for those of you in Dubai….) and it tastes like a curry you’d get back in the UK. Funnily enough, this is the sister house of a UK curry house that is based down the road from my Aunty in the UK. Enough suspense – it’s Hungry Tiger!
Friday; RARE Fillet Steak with Chips and Champagne
In my opinion the only way to eat steak. ONLY way. So I have missed this my whole pregnancy. The husband is also an expert at cooking this for me.
Champagne is just a given really…
Saturday; Philly Chicken Pasta
An old favourite and staple in our house. One of those recipes that was concocted when we had a bit of chicken and an old tired pepper in, along with a bucketful of imagination.
Sunday; Pan fried salmon with garlic butter and potatoes
Salmon, pan fried and served with a knob of garlic butter on top, alongside boiled new potatoes.
Nice, simple, fresh and only a little bit of instruction from me. I will increase the husbands repertoire if it kills me!
