Menu Recap Weeks 19-23

In the past years, no matter how far I was behind on my recipes, I kept up posting my weekly menu. But even that went down the drain in the past weeks. So today I will post a recap of what we ate in the past weeks. But I will only post the things that I still want to write about in the future. I am not sure what to do yet with the weekly menu posts. I am not a professional blogger, so I don't do this for my job. I only post when I am motivated to do so and while I enjoy blogging most of the time, sometimes I am just not motivated at all. These pictures that I post now, will give you an idea what is to come eventually recipe wise.


Tuna salad. I made this when I was home alone because Nick doesn't like tuna. I had it for lunch and dinner and served it in wraps.


Potato salad with a yoghurt chilli dressing. We made this the next day because there still were leftovers from my tuna salad. Still this tasted totally different.


Now Nick is on board with tempeh, we make it more often. This is tempeh sateh with veggies. I love this so much better that tofu.


Before I stopped eating meat, I sometimes bought these potato dishes in the frozen section. I haven't thought about it in years. But I always loved the one with gyros. So I made my own vegetarian version.


Mild curry lasagne. This is a totally different kind of lasagne from what I normally make. Indian meets Italian.


We had leftover almond paste from the Gevulde Koeken we made. So apple handpies were an easy and tasty option :)


It had been a while since we ate gnocchi. This one has spinach and tomatoes.


We are still into Turkish recipes. So we tried this easy recipe for broad beans. Tasty and budget friendly.


This pasta dish with spinach feta and lots of garlic we first ate at a friend's house, but was soon made again because it taste so good!


I used leftovers to make a rice salad for lunch. With strawberries, tomatoes, cucumber and feta.


For our 6 year anniversary Nick and I had lunch at Bagels and Beans. We don't do this often enough ;)


This Mexican themed salad we only ate a few days ago. I just loved this salad. This might even become my new favorite.

Menu for week 17 and 18

This will be a very picture heavy post. In both weeks we tried a lot of new things so we made lots of food pictures. And I also deleted the menu of week 17 per mistake on my phone. So I have no clue anymore what we had exactly..... I will keep the descriptions short and sweet.


Sunday Baking: Japanese sweet potato muffins. Tasted really good. Recipe to come.


Monday: African Peanut soup. Yum!!


Tuesday Lunch: Leftover spinach omelet


Tuesday: Turkish Potato fritters. Served in a very Dutch way ;)


Wednesday Bento: Tomato bread, sweet potato muffins and mushroom soup


Wednesday: Lettuce and bean mashpot


Tuesday and Friday: Something with the left over beans... a potato salad perhaps....


Saturday: A friend came over before Nick went to the cinema. We had bean wraps.


Sunday: After we were out the whole day, we ate something we almost never do. We had microwaved lasagna. It is edible....


Sunday snack: We compensated by making cauliflower fritters as a late night snack ;)


Harvest: Our own radishes!


Monday Lunch: A heaping sandwich including said radishes.


Monday: Strawberry pasta salad for Beltane


Tuesday: Potatoes, spinach and fish fingers


Wednesday: The African peanut soup again. We saved some in the freezer. Still good!


Thursday Baking: Cheese and thyme balls


Thursday and Friday: Eggplant tagine.


Saturday: After a day of swimming we ended up ordering subway :)

Menu for week 16

It is a beautiful day today! We will do some baking later but for now let's see what we ate in the past week. I always try to write a nifty intro here before I post my menu. But I am not really good at that. I sometimes see posts from bloggers that tell about their week at length before they post their recipe or menu. While I have it said and done in one paragraph. I was never good at small talk anyway ;)


Sunday Baking: We made a delicious tomato bread! Damn this is the best savoury dish I made in a long time! Recipe will surely follow and I will make it again this week to take a couple of slices to school with me.


Sunday: The ever favorite combination of baked potatoes, spinach, egg and fish fingers.


Monday: A sushi "beef" bowl. Nom! I loved this. We had enough leftover for lunch the next day.


Tuesday and Wednesday: Couscous salad. Now that the weather gets warmers. Salads are back on the menu.


Thursday and Friday: A broccoli pasta oven dish. The picture is from before it went in the oven. A decent recipe and budget friendly.


Saturday: The broccoli was on sale so we made another dish with it. This potato and broccoli pie. Another tasty and budget friendly recipe.

Menu for week 15

The menu looks a bit different this week because of the Easter weekend. We spoiled ourselves food wise :) Other than that, a mix between new and old recipes and some baking :)


Easter Breakfast: We ordered some stuff at the bakery, so we had a nice Easter breakfast with bread rolls, and a donut for me ;)


Easter lunch: More bread, this time with a boiled egg.


Easter Sunday: We did raclette for 2. We just bought some veggies and fish and we had a great time :)


Easter Monday: We went to American Buffet Corner in Velp. I kept forgetting taking pictures till desert. We had a great meal!


Tuesday and Wednesday: A Turkish oven dish with tomatoes. This tasted awesome! Recipe to come.


Wednesday Baking: Oreo Brownies. Those were tasty! Luckily we shared with friends :) Recipe will follow.


Thursday: Spaghetti with pesto and turnip tops. Lovely spring dish :) Recipe to come.
Friday: We had an unexpected BBQ with friends because it was such a lovely day. I forgot to take pictures. Something with living in the moment ;) Not handy when you have a food blog though.


Saturday: It was cold en stormy! What a contrast with the day before. We still had split peas, so time to make some curried pea soup!

Menu for week 14

Happy Easter everyone! I just had German kaiser bread and an Easter themed donut for breakfast. I have no regrets :D
In the past week we had mainly easy recipes, except for the tomato risotto. We used up some stuff we still had in our pantry so our menu was very budget friendly.


Sunday and Monday: Lasagna with mushrooms and spinach. We used a boxed mix this time because we got one in a free grocery package you could save for at the super market. But I have a recipe for spinach and mushroom lasagna from scratch if you are interested.


Sunday Baking: White chocolate and cranberry cookies. We had some cranberries leftover so I decided to make cookies from them. Because Nick loves white chocolate, the choice was easy ;) Recipe to come.


Tuesday and Wednesday: Tomato risotto. Very budget friendly and tasty! And I used up half a package of feta that I had in my fridge :) Recipe will follow.


Wednesday Lunch: I had pinched a nerve in my neck and it was stormy weather so I made some comfort food for lunch. Chinese tomato soup and a salmon toastie.


Thursday and Friday: Nick wanted to eat nasi with sateh sauce. It is not my favorite, but because we made our sateh sauce from scratch, it was still good!


Saturday: We ate another spring mashpot with lettuce. When dinner was served, I was on the phone ;) So Nick took this picture with his. Shocking, really how the quality differs.
