Meatballs 
Angela9 November 2012 15:45

Last night we had meatballs and hid veges in them - tiny tiny bits of broccoli, onion, garlic and grated zucchini. Esther really likes eating sausage, and eats happily with her fingers, so I thought this would be an easy way to get a balanced meal in to her. I made the meatballs slightly elongated as well, to make them easy for her to hold. I also did risone, which is great for both kids, with pasta sauce and corn. Esther pretty much ate this with her fingers as well.

Lasagne with spinach and chicken
Last night I made a lasagne that was inspired by a standard vegetarian lasagne, but I snuck in a little bit of chicken. I combined spinach, grated zucchini and small amount of finely chopped shredded chicken, mixed pasta sauce with tinned tomatoes, and layered it with the pasta and cheese sauce.

Mince Pies

Last night we had leftover bolognaise too! Someone else had made it and put it in our freezer, and it served us well on spaghetti the night before. But last night I put it in to puff pastry in muffin tins and made mini mince pies. Yum! I have never been a fan of mince pies but think I could like a really good homemade one. And indeed these were good. I sprinkled a little cheese on top of the mince, and we had some corn on the side.

Chicken and Mushroom

Last night we had chicken, mushroom, onion and garlic done in a pan with a white sauce (which turns nice and mushroomy in the pan very quickly!) and drop of white wine. Pasta at Reuben's request + veg.

Pizza

Last night I made one of Kent's favourites - pizza. Bread machine dough with our usuals, mushroom and red capsicum, and as a bonus, some leftover sausage. Tomato paste and tomato sauce with oregano as a base and yes, plenty of cheese. I think everyone should have the necessary to make a homemade pizza when they feel like it, even if it means having some shop-bought bases in the freezer.

Vegetarian Lasagne

Last night I did a vegetarian lasagne - inspired by KellyO's Cannelloni. Spinach, cottage cheese, tinned tomatoes and a jar of garlicky tomatoey sauce. Topped with grated cheddar and a little feta.

Fish Pie

Last night I made fish pie. Fish and mixture of veges and a white sauce with a drop of cheese and white wine. Fresh herbs. Topped with mashed potato and grated cheese + breadcrumbs. This can also be topped with pastry of course, or my current favourite is chunks of homemade bread drizzled with melted butter - they go lovely and crispy after baking.

Stir Fried Veg and Rice

Last night I needed something fast and simple, but something that felt like a real dinner. We had stir fry veges (onion, carrot, broccoli, corn, capsicum) and rice with soy sauce, sweet chilli and cashews.

Apricot Chicken

Last night I did chicken thighs in the crock pot with dried apricots, honey and mustard powder. Stir in plain yoghurt after cooking and we had rice & green veg.
