April catch up...

April 11, 2018 - There's been a lot of good food happening in my kitchen.  I am really enjoying all of the Weight Watchers meals.

~

Turkey shepherd's pies topped with sweet potato...some went into the freezer for handy meals.

~

April 12 - eating warming porridge with banana and blueberries...and meal planning...

~

This was veal with gnocchi and creamy mushroom sauce.  Really, is this a diet dish?

~

April 13 - Can you tell this is a favourite breakfast of mine?

~

So good!

~

Normally pasta would be off the table for diet food...

~

This was a yummy tuna mornay pasta bake and topped with almonds for a nice crunch.

~

I also got busy and supplied a local market hub that has started in our town.  I made biscuits and banana bread...

~

~

~

Time for a curry!

Half price flowers!  Who can resist?

~

Mmmmelting moments!

Mum's plaque has been placed at the cemetery ... I gave Dad's plaque a good sand back and lacquer and it came up quite good.

More food - this was a spiced chicken that Gus made with panko crumbed chips and a little salad.  I'm so lucky that is likes to cook and loves all the WW recipes too.
