00:14hello there folks and a very warm festive welcome back to what's for tea and it's lovely to see you
00:21all and i hope that i find you very well indeed and there's only four days left till christmas
00:26so i hope you're all prepared and looking forward to actual christmas itself if you celebrate of
00:33course i love this time of year so of course i'm like a big kid so welcome back to this
00:38week's
00:39meals of the week and as usual we're going to start on monday all the way through till today
00:44which is sunday so let me go and show you what we had this week so as you can see
00:49on monday one of
00:51our favorites and one of the easiest things that i make for the tea is tuna pasta bake and this
00:57is
00:57the seasoning sachet that i normally use as the coleman's and there's also a swatch one as well
01:02and i will be doing a video recipe for this but not using the seasoning sachet because you just can't
01:08get it everywhere so i will be doing a tuna pasta bake from scratch without the seasoning because i
01:14have been asked for this quite a lot so it's penny pasta tuna sweet corn the seasoning is a sort
01:20of
01:20creamy tomato base and it's just lovely i've put some grated cheese on the top just for some extra
01:27cheesiness and then some garlic bread on the side so i will be doing that at some point and it
01:33will
01:33probably be next week's video recipe so stay tuned for that if you're one of the many who has asked
01:39for
01:39a tuna pasta bake recipe delicious and easy then moving on to tuesday another one we have quite often
01:47especially for days when i'm really busy you know or the day just gets away from you you can put
01:53this
01:53together in no time soup and rolls or sandwich and soup whatever you prefer to have so these are just
02:00some square sausages from the butcher or lorne sausage you might know this as it's just beef and
02:06pork sausage squares and they are lovely and some scottish rolls and i've got a vegetable soup there this is
02:13just tesco's own vegetable soup and it's lovely nice for a wee change we haven't had this for such
02:19a long time like i said just so simple so easy and i do have a video recipe for the
02:25square sausage i will
02:26put in the corner just in case you can't get this where you are and you fancy making it now
02:31on wednesday
02:32we were actually out visiting friends or quite a few of us there and we just went for a kind
02:37of movie night
02:38a sort of christmas movie night and we watched oh what fun and they put on a lovely spread of
02:44pizza
02:44salad cheese biscuits you all all sorts of stuff but i didn't film because that's just a wee bit weird
02:51just because you know there were lots of people there and i didn't want to have to go round everyone
02:55you know asking is it okay is it okay so i said i'll just leave it and just tell you
03:00what i done and
03:01then on thursday as you can see we had good old macaroni cheese and this is one of mr what's
03:08for
03:08tea's favorites and again just a really easy one to put together so that's just my usual macaroni
03:15cheese so it's macaroni pasta and a very rich cheese sauce just popped into the oven to go nice and
03:21brown
03:22and bubbly just a few chips on the side with some garden peas as well like i said one of
03:28his favorites
03:29i prefer more of a tomato based pasta but he likes the creamy cheesy pasta i don't mind it from
03:36time
03:36to time but yeah not my favorite i have to say and then moving on to friday i made sausage
03:42rolls so
03:43you will have seen these if you watch my food shopping and bagging these are the ones is it from
03:48hijady or higgady something like that i didn't actually have sausage rolls i just had a jacket potato
03:54with baked beans but yeah just some very creamy mashed potato there's butter in there and parsley
04:00as well and that's those sausage rolls on the side he said these were okay not his favorite so i
04:07wouldn't get these again yeah just not his favorite then some baked beans on the side which i think go
04:13lovely with any kind of savory pastry so that was friday and then moving on to saturday i made a
04:20ravioli
04:21bolognese and again you will have seen this ravioli if you watch my food shopping and bagging
04:26the other day it was from rana and as it turns out it's not actually ravioli it's something called
04:32girasole or gairasole italian i think and one of you had said that actually means sunflowers which
04:38would make sense because the pasta is in the shape of sunflower so this pasta ravioli girasole whatever
04:45you want to call it is from rana and i had my own meat bolognese sauce in the freezer which
04:52went
04:52perfectly with this you know that's the beauty of freezing these kinds of sauces you can just add
04:58it to things at a later date and that's the pasta there before it got added to the sauce and
05:03i've just
05:04added some parmesan cheese to the top and then just a wee bit of basil as well and i also
05:09added extra
05:10basil into the sauce as i was heating it up on the stove top and then moving on to today
05:16we had the
05:16smoked ham shanks again you will have seen these in my food shopping and bagging the other day if you
05:23watched and these were absolutely delicious the meat fell off the bone these are obviously free
05:30pre-cooked and then vacuum packed and all you do is whack them into the oven for half an hour
05:35put the
05:35glaze on the top and they were delicious definitely get these again and i made some roast potatoes as
05:43well i parboil my potatoes and then finish them off in the air fryer just to make them nice and
05:48crispy
05:48we've got some broccoli and green beans underneath and that lovely honey and mustard glazed smoked gammon
05:56shank as well like i said i will put a wee picture on the screen but yeah highly recommended you
06:02give
06:02these a go if you're anywhere near sainsbury's and can get a hold of them they're not the cheapest
06:08they're not the biggest but the flavor and the texture were spectacular so definitely look out for
