Busy today doing....


13th July 2018
Don’t act like it’s you against the world, it’s really just you against yourself.


Well today I shall mostly be doing absolutely nothing!  Yep, after last Friday being moms birthday and the entire weekend being busy, then a full on week at work, today I’m chilling and taking it easy.  Shame the forecast isn’t a good one but that’s okay I can chill indoors.


I finally defrosted the salmon then didn’t fancy it last night, so I’ll have it for my dinner today.  I did make a tasty orzo salad, I added some mint sauce as the dressing and it was delicious.  I also suggested a new flavour for the chicken breast sausage to Stuart from the Penn Road butchers and we tested them last night, they’re proper tasty, Bev’s Boozy Bangers – chorizo, sundried tomato and red wine flavour, they’d be delicious in a red wine and onion gravy with mash and veg.  I’m going to make meatballs with mine today and do a pasta dish of some sort.  So my day of chilling will involve a little experimenting in the kitchen as well.    Don’t forget the butcher delivers locally if you spend £15 and he can also mail order them, get in touch for a price. https://www.facebook.com/Penn-Road-Butchers-1570997599797501/ or his phone number is 01902 337472. 

What I plan to do with mine is chop up some black olives to mix with the sausagemeat and maybe put a little bit of cheese in each meatball I make with the mixture, mmm, then have it in a delicious sauce with spaghetti, ooo I could just eat that right now.

It’s not difficult or too time consuming to make your own basic tomato sauce for pasta – this is a recipe from the Weight Watchers app.

5sprays Calorie controlled cooking spray
3cloves Garlic, crushed
1 large Onion, red, finely chopped
1 pinch Salt, and freshly ground black pepper
800g Tinned Tomatoes
1 Vegetable stock cube, make up to 150ml with hot water
4 Basil leaves, fresh, to garnish

·         Spray the low fat cooking spray in a large heavy-based saucepan and gently fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the onion and some salt and pepper. Cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
·         Add the tomatoes and stock to the saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reducing the sauce concentrates it to give a rich, delicious flavour. Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if needed. If you like, use a stick blender to partially blend the sauce.
·         Cook your pasta according to pack instructions. Drain well, then return to the saucepan and add the tomato sauce. Stir and re-heat gently for a few moments, then serve, garnished with basil leaves.

Anyway, I’m waiting to get on with doing nothing, so I’ll let you get on with your day too.  Here’s to a very great day whatever you’re up too.
