Chicken Filo and Sides

It's been quite some time since I've blogged so I have a bit of a back log.
The star of this meal was the Leonards Black Cherry and Camembert Chicken Filo. I hadn't seen the filos in my local Leonards store for ages so I was so excited to buy some.
I served the filo with chips and a pre-packaged salad.

Brown Rice, Broccoli and Salmon

You can't get much healthier than my dinner tonight (ok, maybe you can but this was pretty good)!
It was a simple meal, with enough left over for lunch tomorrow.
I used a microwave packet of brown rice, garlic and ginger, some broccoli, green beans, an egg and a packet of chilli salmon. I topped it off with a little soy sauce.
Tasty stuff!

Bangers and Mash

I visited my local Lenard's store the other day in order to satisfy T's pleading for 'real chicken.' I came away with some lovely items (everything they stock is great!) including some sausages. It was definitely too cold for a barbecue last night so I cooked sausages in the frying pan instead.
I thought the weather called for mashed potato and of course no meal is complete without some greens; brussels sprouts and asparagus in this case. I also thought I'd add some baked beans to T's plate, I thought the combination of sausages, mashed potato and baked beans would be rather satisfying.


I was really pleased with dinner. I really enjoyed mine but unfortunately T was more than a little put off by the brussels sprouts (since last eating them he has decided he no longer likes them). Oh well, he can't be happy all the time.

Porridge

This morning I used the stove to make porridge. I cooked it with milk, served it on top of warmed peach pieces, stirred through a sprinkling on cinnamon, drizzled it with honey and sprinkled on some pepitas and sunflowers.


It was ok, but I think porridge is most delicious when it is sweeter and a little more indulgent.

Chicken and Corn Soup

Winter is definitely not my favourite time of the year but I do enjoy a hearty soup. I bought a barbequed chicken that needed to be finished off and that was my inspiration for this meal.


I began with a can of chicken and sweet corn soup to which I added the shredded chicken, half a can of corn, half a can of kidney beans and 1 cup of vegetable stock. I also added a big handful of precooked risoni. When the soup was hot I cracked in an egg and whisked it through. Once ladled into the bowl I sprinkled on some chopped spring onion.
It really was delicious!

Honey Mustard Chicken Stirfry

I was very busy this week so for dinner I cooked quick meals. This is one of them.


I simply cooked the pre-cut chicken breast and poured on the (free!) Honey Mustard sauce, stirfried the pre-prepared vegies, mixed them together and served them over rice. Voila!!


As well as some brown rice and a few parsley leaves, these are all the ingredients I used for dinner.

Cannelloni, Zucchini Fritter & Chips

Dinner last night was quick and easy. The cannelloni was pre-prepared in an oven tray and just needed cooking, as did the chips. I simply heated the fritter. Yum.
