Butternut Squash- oh how I hate you...

Well, not really. But, my gosh has anyone ever tried to cut a butternut squash? It's so very tough, and fiddly...but it does go a VERY long way....(yawn).

So here is my weekly shop.


All this for £14.86



This week didn't quite go to plan. I headed off back 'up north' for mothers day, so had the pleasure of some home cooked good grub from my excellent 'foodie' parents. (And no, that's not fish, chips and gravy). So unfortunately we have had quite a lot of food leftover to take us into next week.

Check out our most BORING week to date.

Sunday - Homemade Butternut Squash Soup



Monday - Vegetable Jalfrezi Curry (with Butternut Squash)

We made the sauce using a large mixture of herbs from the cupboard and our lovely homemade chicken stock that we've had in the freezer for a while mmmmmm...


Tuesday - I went out for a delicious Steak at Cafe Rouge (of all places) what a treat!

Wednesday - Soup again


And this is not the end of it, we even had more leftover for a batch to go in the freezer.

Thursday - Curry again (with yogurt on top, bought separately)


Friday- OFF TO EAT FOOD THAT DOESN"T HAVE BUTTERNUT SQUASH IN IT yipeee

Look out for next week kids as meals from this week are being carried over to next (how exciting) Artichoke gratin here we come....
