Meals

We haven't been getting Chef's plate boxes as much as the recipes haven't been of much interest but this week we had a success.

On Wednesday I woke up about 5am feeling fine, had breakfast but around 8am I didn't feel so good. My stomach was upset and it felt like a cold coming on. So for dinner I chose the meal that I thought would be least irritating- lemony turkey meatballs in a soup with pearl couscous. It was a good choice as my stomach was happy with this.

On Thursday I made English Cottage Pie, which was a lot like Shepherds Pie. It had beef and sometimes that doesn't agree with me so I made sure to dab as much of the grease as I could and this was a success as well.

Yesterday I made pasta with bacon and sauce recipe. We had a similar recipe previously that didn't sit well with me I think maybe because the veggies cooked in the bacon fat. So this time I used very little of the bacon fat. This time the recipe also had a garlic spread that was part of the sauce and normally if they send real garlic I don't use it but I thought garlic sauce might be tamer and it did work out, the meal was also a success with lots of spinach and peas.

Today I picked up a large garden salad at Loblaws. Since I discovered that for $12 I get about 5 meals out of it, I have started to pick up 1 per week, so that is a meal win as well.
