Where has the year gone? Still it does mean that at the end of this week I get to go on a perfume making course !! It's my birthday treat. I also need to decide what to do about my Kenwood mixer which is playing up. The dealer says it is the motor which is faulty and will cost nearly as much as a new one to fix.. I've only had it 18 months and Kenwoods are meant to last years so I'm not impressed currently but plan to contact them direct this week and see what they say.
Anyway to more interesting things.
The allotment is very much wound down for the autumn but in terms of work we are doing more tidying up and planning for next year. I failed on winter greens this year but plan to get onions, garlic and maybe a few other over wintering things in the next couple of weeks. We did finally clear the brambles off the plum trees on the side of the plot and there was a lot of brambles on that poor tree or should I say trees as there are several there actually.
Saturday's meal the only thing not off the allotment was the protein which was nice.
This week the gluten free menu swap is hosted by Asparagus thin who challenged us to use 10 of her listed superfoods so I have put them in brackets in each day.. how will i do?
Menu for this week
Monday - Swedish meatballs, green beans and rice. (beans, assuming fresh ones count too)
Tuesday - Something aubergine based as we have several from the greenhouse possibly Aubergine parmigiana or charred aubergine and coconut curry. (aubergine otherwise known as eggplant, tomatoes, garlic at least)
Wednesday - Sausage casserole (Greens as a sidedish, garlic and the related onion in the casserole)
Thursday - veg stew with dumplings. (garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans at least)
Friday - pasta and sauce (not sure what sauce as yet)- (probably tomatoes and/or red wine)
Baking - Peanut butter cookies to use up an old jar.
Plus something using raspberries and/or blackberries as we have both from the allotment and well as strawberries and blueberries from the shops (all super foods)
I drink tea everyday as well :) and we regularly have yoghurt as a snack or breakfast or pudding.

Looks like you got your 10 super foods in this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty menu this week! What a lovely thing to put together whole meals from your allotment. That charred aubergine with coconut curry sounds amazing. Have you made it before?
ReplyDeleteI would love to know your GF dumpling recipe for your soup with dumplings. That sounds like such a wonderful fall treat.
It's been very fun to see how everyone met the Superfoods challenge this week! Looks like your menu is packed with health!
