00:05well hello there folks and a very warm welcome back to what's for tea it's lovely to see you
00:11all and i hope that i find you all very well and you're enjoying your easter weekend so thanks for
00:16coming over just to see what i've made for the family dinners this week as usual starting off
00:22on monday all the way through till today which is sunday so on monday we made or i made butter
00:28chicken and this one is for dave he's been shouting for a curry in the comments for over a week
00:34now so
00:34i thought i'd do a butter chicken so i know you like your chinese curries dave but hopefully
00:39this one will do in the meantime and i do really like butter chicken but it's quite calorific
00:45so we don't have it all that often so i've got a chapati there on the side these are just
00:50from
00:50sainsbury's and i've got haggis picora as well just for a change i haven't had this for years and i
00:56really do like it a couple of lime wedges just to squeeze over the rice which i think is really
01:01nice and that's just a lovely fluffy basmati rice as well and that's that butter chicken there just
01:08going on and i do have a video recipe for butter chicken that i've done quite a while ago and
01:14i'll
01:14leave it in the corner if you click on the corner there just now you will you know it will
01:19take you
01:19straight to the video recipe that i've done for butter chicken and it's a really good one with some
01:24coriander on the top and then moving on to tuesday this is one of two meat free days we do
01:31like to
01:31try and have a meat free day or two throughout the week you know if we can we don't always
01:36manage but
01:37usually we do manage and these are the linda mccartney meat free quarter pounders with cheese
01:44in the middle and these were nice you know for a wee change so i've got a well-fired roll
01:49instead of a
01:50burger bun we've got some mayonnaise i prefer ketchup mr what's for tea prefers mayonnaise
01:55a wee bit of pepper some grated cheese that's that linda mccartney quarter pounder burger with cheese
02:02in the middle like i said nothing like a standard beef burger but nice if you are trying to have
02:07a meat free day some salad at the back a couple of slices of tomatoes some coleslaw as well the
02:13top
02:13of the roll and i made some chips in the air fryer so these are just standard homemade chips and
02:19some
02:19extra cheese because i had some left over that i didn't put onto the burger so that just went on
02:24top
02:25of the chips and this was lovely as well i really like the coleslaw with the chips it just goes
02:31so nicely together and then moving on to wednesday this is actually next week's video recipe so you
02:37wouldn't have seen this one yet but i've done a very chunky um chili it's a really nice hot chunky
02:43chili in the slow cooker so this will be going up on thursday for you to see so if you
02:48do like a beef
02:49chili and you do like a nice hot chili i recommend giving this one a go so i've got some
02:54basmati rice
02:55again in the bottom and that's that beef chili just going on i would usually use you know minced
03:01beef for a beef chili because it's so fine but this is using stewing steak so it is really chunky
03:07and just completely different in my opinion but it's just got the same flavor but the mouth feel
03:12is completely different which i really enjoy and i put some sour cream on the top just because this
03:17is a really spicy one with a wee bit of parsley as well and this was it here when it
03:23was just about
03:23finished cooking and you can see how lovely and rich and thick this one is so like i said this
03:29will
03:29be the recipe on thursday if you want to pop along and have a wee go at that and then
03:35moving on to
03:36thursday the second of our meat free days and i made a shepherd's pie or a cottage pie it's neither
03:42really because it's not beef or lamb it's the corn mince but i'm going to call this one a shepherd's
03:48pie
03:48and this was lovely as well i think corn mince is really good for this kind of thing because you've
03:54got so many other ingredients in there you don't really i don't really taste the difference between
03:59this and like beef mince so it's the corn mince gravy onions carrots mashed potato and cheese
04:05baked beans at the side of course and then a few of the morrison's oven chips we didn't love these
04:11chips these were the morrison's best of chips i think you know just the frozen ones that you do in
04:16the
04:16air fryer i wouldn't repurchase they were not the best prefer my own homemade chips in the air fryer
04:22and then moving on to friday we had cajun chicken pasta another one i don't feel as though i've done
04:28for ages but i really enjoy this one because it's creamy and it's spicy you know it's got cajun spices
04:35in there but i also add smoked paprika i add cayenne pepper there's cream in there as well the chicken
04:41oh it's just lovely and i think the best type of pasta for this kind of thing is the penny
04:47pasta it
04:47just holds its shape beautifully and all the wee holes kind of fill up with the sauce the same kind
04:52of idea as macaroni but i just think it works best with the penny pasta and we've got some parmesan
04:59cheese on the top with a wee sprinkling of parsley as well i would have had garlic bread i thought
05:06we
05:06had garlic bread there turns out we had no garlic bread so it was just the pasta but honestly this
05:12is
05:12quite a big portion so you don't really need any more than this but it is really tasty and
05:17and this is another one that i've done a video recipe for so i'll leave that linked down below
05:22in case you want to give that a go for yourself highly recommended if you like a nice creamy
05:27spicy pasta then moving on to yesterday you will have seen this wee pie if you watched my aldi and
05:33tesco and bagging the other day this was the steak pie from the local butcher it's actually steak
05:39and sausage pie from the local butcher but it's not our usual butcher but it's local to us but it's
05:44not
05:44our usual butcher but we've got some creamy mashed potato with cream and butter and parsley in there
05:50some steamed balls of doom or brussel sprouts as well that's that steak and sausage from the pie
05:57it was a bit dry if i'm being honest with you but it was really tasty but just a wee
06:01bit dry
06:01i was going to do extra gravy but i decided not to bother and with the puff pastry on the
06:07top it was
06:07still really tasty but yeah just not our favorite and then moving on to today we had chicken so like
06:14i said i hope you are having a fab easter weekend if you're choosing to celebrate in any way it's
06:20not
06:20any kind of special day for us you know it's just another day i think for us it's more about
06:25the kids
06:25you know and the chocolate eggs and the easter egg hunts and that kind of thing but yeah chicken today
06:30nonetheless we've got some sage and onion stuffing on the bottom there i done some roast potatoes in
06:36the air fryer i just parboil my potatoes and finish them off in the air fryer we've got some buttered
06:43sweet corn at the back some mashed swede with white pepper and butter and that's that chicken breast
06:48there which i done in the oven with some herbs and olive oil on the outside and i made up
06:55a quick and
06:55easy mushroom or creamy mushroom sauce for the top just to take the dryness off the potatoes and
07:02things so yeah really tasty so thank you so much for watching and that's everything that we had this
