01:07tuesday don't ask me what happened to the lighting here it does sort itself out but it's a wee bit
01:13dark to begin with but we've got some bangers mashing beans and i feel as though we haven't
01:19had this for ages these are pork link sausages from the local butcher which i haven't managed
01:25to get to for a wee while there's a couple of butchers that i use but this one is a
01:29wee bit
01:29further away so it's a bit harder to get to you know if you're busy so i've got creamy mashed
01:34potato
01:35with butter milk and parsley like i said those are the wee pork sausage links from the local butcher
01:42those are amazing and then just some baked beans on the side which we think go really well with mashed
01:48potato but any sort of potato really ever so easy to put together and one of mr what's for t's
01:55favorites i like it too but he loves it and then moving on to wednesday we had toasties and i
02:03used the
02:03cheese melt cheese slices you will have seen if you watch my food shopping and bagging yesterday i think
02:10these are new out and they work so well in this they just fit the bread perfectly and the cheese
02:17was
02:17ultra stringy as you can see there it was just the perfect cheese pool so that's just cheese it's
02:24smoked cheese so cheese toasties and this bread is quite small so i've got mr what's for t has got
02:30two
02:31there and then some lentil chips and that's a roast chicken and vegetable soup just with some parsley
02:37on the top oh those cheese slices are just amazing i'll pop them on the screen just in case you
02:43want
02:43to pick them up for yourself and they're available in quite a few different variations like i said this
02:49is just the sort of smoked cheese but yeah it was such an amazing stringy texture and then moving on
02:55to
02:55thursday we had fish fingers i was going to do a fish finger sandwich so this is a kind of
03:01deconstructed fish finger sandwich and these fish fingers are from a local fish monger and they're
03:08absolutely massive you can't really tell on screen but they are huge so i've got one of those wee wraps
03:15on the side we've got some lettuce chips as well and three of these fish fingers they're just cod
03:21fillet with breadcrumbs and then some coleslaw as well with some parsley again on the top like i said
03:28you can't really tell looking at the video but they are absolutely massive only actually managed

03:41had chicken kebabs again you will have seen these chicken kebabs or chicken skewers if you watch my food
03:48shopping and bagging yesterday these are the my protein chicken skewers and they are really nice
03:54so i've got some spicy rice with some peas mixed through and then two of those chicken kebabs i only
04:01had one of these because i find these quite you know quite filling and we've got a lovely yogurt and
04:07mint and garlic dressing for over the top with some coriander as well and these were lovely and just
04:14nice you know for a change and they don't take long to put together at all and then moving on
04:20to
04:20yesterday another one of mr what's for t's favorites is macaroni cheese not my favorite but he would
04:27have this quite happily every other day probably and i just finished this off in the air fryer with
04:34some breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on the top and it gives it a kind of crust so i just pop
04:40it in
04:40in the bowl on as high a temperature as possible just make sure whatever bowl you're using is you know
04:46going to withstand the heat and it's not going to crack and we've got some cheesy garlic bread
04:51on the side with some black pepper as usual like i said his absolute favorite i think is macaroni
04:58cheese i prefer more of a spicy tomato based pasta but yeah he likes the creamy stuff and then moving
