@Cstar it's mini frankfurters/hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry and cooked in the oven. Though, full disclosure, we ended up just having them in dinner rolls 😅

DD calls dry chilli beef from the local Chinese place "Beef tentacles". I have to be VERY careful I don't try to order beef tentacles when I ring up lol.

Had foodie guests for the weekend so cooked up a storm...now I'm feeling tired & uninspired 

We had Gourmet Burgers on Friday, Brisket cooked over a fire with Mexican sides and a Jalapeno potato salad on Saturday. Sunday was French toast for Brekkie, then a Roast with all the sides for a late lunch/early tea.

Tonight - might just buy standard fast food for the kids, and have a sandwich myself

Tues - Homemade chicken schnitzel & veg

Wed - Burgers & chips

Thurs - Chicken stir-fry + fried rice

Chicken kiev and potato gems in the air fryer tonight with steamed carrot and broccoli.

Tomorrow, not sure, DH may do duck. 

I'll have to cook some more rice and then we can have chicken curry from the freezer.

The meatballs were a huge hit with the family, DH asked me to make it again so that's a win.

Do you have a recipe for the Thai curry meatballs @Jenflea? Sounds like something my DH & DSs would love.

A bit of a pivot as DH is working late tonight, so burrito bowls instead of burgers. Kids can eat at normal time and we can eat when he gets home.

Pesto pasta tomorrow, lots of basil in the garden to use up. Chicken stir fry Saturday then lamb shoulder sunday.

Sunday will be parma rolls and salad.

Friday I have no idea, but I'm not cooking, as I'm back at work. Maybe chicken curry from the freezer, just need to cook some rice.

Tonight was takeaway chinese which will be leftovers tomorrow night as well.

I've made a basic tiramisu for dessert tomorrow night too, for easter. I had a packet of sponge finger biscuits leftover from Christmases' tiramisu and I'm sick of the bulky pack in the pantry, so it's a 3 layered one for the 3 of us lol. 

We've had a LOT of good food this weekend! Next week it'll be vegetable soups to counteract all the yummy not very healthy food this weekend. 

Smoked salmon, brie, prawns, burrata and tomato salad, prosciutto, so good.

Did steak tonight instead of stir fry. Will use the chicken for laksa in Monday (but teriyaki chicken for the kids).

Got spinach in our veg box so will do a tuna spinach pasta during the week. And a fennel, so will cook that with pork sausages and mash.
