Cooking afternoon

​today I’ve been cooking all afternoon.  Lately on a Friday we have ordered takeaway.

Which isn’t a bad thing, but that kind of food can actually trigger a fibro crash. 

Too much fat, salt and unknowns 

So I’ve organised it all that I can have leftovers, which will feed us all weekend 

Mostly all home grown. Definitely all preserved by me. 

Doing the work in the preserving stage saves you work later. 

I’ve made a pasta bake and in the red casserole I’ve got creamy

Mushroom chicken. I’ve just added the rice.  It comes out like risotto 

Only with much less work 

I’ve got dessert all ready to put into the oven  

The easy dump cake, mixed berries with home grown plums 

White cake mix sprinkled on top and some butter 

Which will melt and make it nice and brown on top  

I made the bow pasta for Ana’s lunch tomorrow 

I’ve put extra veggies into the meat sauce so very healthy 

And finally 

Little cupcakes.  They’re made from an instant pancake mix  

These have chocolate chips in them. Because they’re a breakfast and not a desert mix 

It’s not over sweet  and a healthier option.  Well that’s what I tell myself anyway 

So now I’m good all weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for us to get some work 

done outside.  I’ve got pots that need  refreshing with an organic compost mix  

This is an easier job than removing a garden plot, and hopefully hubby will be able to give me a hand  

Now all I need is a good nights sleep.

Wish me luck
