Saturday-picked up 4 nice hunks of cod from the farmers market. Saturday night made a huge fresh green salad, romaine, tomato, Brussel sprouts, cucumber, and scallions. Simmered 2 of the fish just in butter and lemon and old bay served it with toasted red quinoa.

Sunday morning—took the other 2 fish hunks, simmer cooked in olive oil and salt. Made couscous with minced garlic. Cut up some kale and scallions. Put it all together with some mayonnaise for a cold fish salad later today. And to take with for lunch to work this week.

For dinner tonight we are having a nice roasted turkey breast with green beans, and simple diced red potatoes in butter.

 

Tonight = roast half shoulder of local lamb with roast tatties and a hoard of braised in the oven veggies and cauliflower, and then a little Apple and Blackberry crumble and cream,

Following on from Sunday's roast leg of lamb, today I am making a traditional Shepherds Pie with the leftovers.
I've got the bones bubbling away to make stock and the aroma filling the house is absolutely hunger inducing!

 

Sausage casserole

 

Busy day out and about today, so cooking didn't even feature on the priority list.
Instead a cold plate of smoked ham, coleslaw, crusty rolls, cherry tomatoes, pickles, cheese for those who wanted it, and followed off with a Gypsy Tart - not at all healthy, but welcome and satiating all the same

 

Steak and chips currently cooking away...

 

Lasagna and garlic bread
