We survived another no-pasta week! Although I did sneak this in one lunchtime:
Otherwise I only veered off-plan once, so pretty good going all round.
This week I'm leaning towards comfort food - we're all a bit snotty & grotty, plus soon it'll be too hot for a lot of these dishes and we'll start subsisting on gazpacho and salad (I know, I know. Woe is me).
To me, the ultimate comfort food is beans and rice. I didn't grow up with it, but I've very happily adopted the habit from M-Big, who's originally Brazilian. I'm also very excited about trying a new green curry spice blend powder I found at our local market. I've only ever tried the pastes so far, but this blend smelled wonderful so I had to get it. Not a clue how spicy it is though...
tomato-baked beans & rice
veg & salmon parcels, oven-baked with soy sauce & mirin
Thai green eggplant curry & rice
roasted red pepper soup with parmesan toast
pasta with spicy green bean & tomato sauce
Have a good week and do take a look at the linky below for more meal plan ideas!
