Latest Eats

Hello, Everyone :) I have not done a foody post in a very long time so I figured why not. But I must warn you ... I had to save the latest food pictures into a random folder rather than the food one on my computer, because I was too scared I won't be able to spot my latest ones from the old :D Because...the meals have not really changed that much in the past few months. You be the judge of it though :) 

This has been my favorite lunch for a long time now. It's just a slice of rye bread with a slice of light Leerdammer cheese, mashed avocado, tomato and egg. We have a toaster that poaches eggs (1 egg at a time) which is why I have been loving this dish...so easy to do, low calories and super healthy and filling

Sea Bass is still one of our favorite fish to eat. The only problem with it is that it's quite pricey. We like to fry ours with some pesto butter. I also really love Marks and Spencers chilli and lemongrass sea bass and Waitrose olive and sundried tomato filled sea bass. I had mine with cous cous, green beans and peas and a sprinkling of feta cheese and a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce

Rice with a sweet and sour vegetable sauce, Linda Mccartney vegetarian curry/smth burger and avocado.

Sundried tomato and goats cheese risotto (I also added beans and peas) with a grilled salmon and pesto butter. ( we are slightly obsessed with pesto butter around here :D)

Quorn chilli con carne with sweetcorn and avocado. We always use basmati rice, god knows why :D But it seems to be the only rice we buy.

You might have noticed that there was no meat dishes. And that's because I have stopped eating meat for now. I wasn't really planning on telling anyone, because I'm not too sure how long I will last :D But now it's out there. D and Oscar still have meat pretty much every day so their diet hasn't changed. The one thing that is making me reconsider being a pesceparian is the waste. Because all the meat packs are meant for two people, we kind of end up storing the cooked meat in the fridge but forget about eating it. But if I would have meat as well, the waste would not happen. So I'm not too sure what to do...Anyway making that decision was completely my own and I'm sure if I start eating meat again I will only disappoint myself. 

Also Sea Bass/Meriahven is not very popular in Estonia, but it's such a great white meat fish you guys should definitely try it out. 

Hope you enjoyed the post :)

Stay tuned

Weekly Eats

Good Evening, Everyone :)
I mentioned in one of my previous posts that we will be doing a weekly menu to make deciding and food shopping a bit easier. And I figured I'll share our this weeks menu here since I'll be doing our weekly shop today. We've recently been using Ocado. We first tried it out, because we had a discount voucher for the first shop, but found their organic range really good. They also seem to have a lot more variety of different foods that you don't find in every supermarket.

Anyway...Here is our this weeks menu :)

Monday

Since the delivery won't come until tomorrow, we had to sort something out from what we ha left in the fridge/freezer. And since yesterday we had a healthy meal of seabass with greens and some rice I figured why not have a bit less healthy version of pasta bolognese tonight. I also managed to use up all the veg that was on the verge of going off (mushrooms, leeks, peppers)

Tuesday

Chicken Tuesday. This doesn't mean we will be having chicken every Tuesday :D Ocado does these chicken breasts, that are individually packed, which means they are easy to freeze and then defrost. I will be using the seasoning paper to cook and flavour them (no need for oil) and we shall be having a nice salad with avocado, tomatoes and mozzarella. Simple and easy but still healthy.

Wednesday

Fish Wednesday. Fishcakes with cous cous :)

Thursday

Beef Stirfry. We use to have chicken before, but I'm a big fan of bbq stir fry sauce which works really well with beef :)

Friday (My Birthday :D)

We will be going for dinner on the night (dinner time for us is 5/6 pm now, which is really eary compared to our pre-baby 8/9pm dinners :D) We won't be cooking at home.

Saturday

This is meant to be everything can happen Saturday, where we try out a funky new recipe, but we have guests coming over and then heading out, which means I'll make something that is easy to feed to a lot of people :D

I will be making my famous quiche (I'll add a recipe on a later date) and a fresh salad. I'll also be doing a funky bread, meat and cheese plate for snacks :)

Sunday

In England Sundays are roast days, but nor me or D are really fans of a big roast, so we will be having something else. And since we missed our anything can happen Saturday I figured, we can try something on Sunday. Haven't picked a recipe yet, so I'll be updating this one once we have decided.

I might add pictures of all the meals at the end of the week to this post and you can find it on the Food page :)

Stay tuned and hope you guys enjoy your week :)
