00:06well hello there folks and happy sunday to you it's lovely to see you again as usual
00:11and i hope that i find you very well indeed but just before i move on i wanted to give
00:16a big
00:17shout out to mags nanny mags thank you so much for watching and apparently you watch all of my
00:23videos so thank you ever so much lovely to have you so on to this week's meals of the week
00:29and
00:29as usual starting all the way back on monday through till today which is sunday so on monday
00:35as you can see we had chicken and chips i was going to do chicken salad wraps but i had
00:42these
00:43so i said we'll just have the chicken and chips and it was really really nice and very easy obviously
00:48to put together it's just chips a wee bit of salad on the side so lettuce tomato olive oil a
00:55wee bit
00:55a dressing and that's some lovely breaded chicken fillets and like i said really nice we did
01:00actually have wraps on the table as well i don't think they got used but this was just yeah so
01:06easy
01:06and just really nice and then moving on to tuesday another really basic day so it was just jacket
01:12potatoes we weren't that hungry and again something that's just so easy and quick to put together these
01:19are the mccain jacket potatoes and i usually start them off in the microwave and finish them off in
01:25the air fryer and it makes them lovely and dry and fluffy inside but nice and crispy on the outside
01:32so we've got some grated cheddar cheese some baked beans which will melt that cheese underneath and then
01:38just some more cheese and a wee bit of parsley on the top like i said super simple but we
01:44love
01:44a jacket potato i really love a jacket potato so this is just ideal and then moving on to wednesday
01:52one i never do is omelettes because i don't like eggs i actually had a jacket potato again so this
01:59was
01:59mr what's for tease he does like eggs you know any kind of eggs really so this isn't something that
02:05i
02:05would typically do but he fancied an omelette i said so i'll make an omelette so just a wee tiny
02:10bit of
02:11salad on the side just for the health and that's a cheese omelette and it was massive so i've had
02:17to
02:17cut it in half so that's just a basic egg omelette with cheese in the middle lots of cheese actually
02:23so
02:23it was very cheesy and then a few potato croquets as well because i can't seem to make a meal
02:30without
02:30adding some kind of carb element to it so yeah a few potato croquets as well and then moving on
02:36to
02:37thursday i made chili so this was a new recipe that i'd found for chili using the seasoning sachet
02:43and baked beans you know instead of the kidney beans and you don't add this and add that and
02:48it wasn't the best i'm not gonna lie i'll be sticking to my normal recipe from now on i much
02:54prefer the texture of kidney beans and a chili for me baked beans just don't work in this they're far
03:00too soft but yeah it was still nice but just not as good as my normal chili so it's just
03:05basmati rice
03:06that new recipe chili with some sour cream on the top and just a wee bit of parsley to liven
03:12the
03:12whole thing up and then moving on to friday another basic day it's been a very basic week i have
03:18to say
03:19so i had these greg's sausage rolls in the freezer mr what's for tea absolutely loves these these are
03:25his favorite you know sausage rolls and they're not very expensive and they're probably not get a very
03:31high meat content but he really likes these so he's got a couple of the greg's sausage rolls
03:37some chips on the side and then some baked beans as well and this is his idea of heaven to
03:43me
03:43this is toddler food but he loves it i actually had a beef stir fry which i forgot to take
03:49a picture of
03:49but you know what a beef stir fry looks like and then moving on to yesterday we were actually
03:55out and about with a few things to do so we find ourselves out at tea time so we just
04:01stopped in
04:01at a wee chippy which is a couple of towns away from us and we thought we'd try their fish
04:07and chips
04:07because apparently it's meant to be really good it was okay the fish was average but the chips were
04:14really really good so yeah this is a haddock fish supper they did have cod as well but we much
04:20prefer
04:20haddock and here's a wee quick look at the menu just for those that like to see you know what
04:25else
04:26is on offer whenever we go anywhere attend just to take a wee picture just to let you see
04:31and then moving on to today we had chicken salad i know sunday chicken salad but it's what we fancied
04:38so it's just a wee sort of elevated chicken salad and we've got some potato wedges on the side as
04:44well
04:44so just a very basic side salad we've got some rocket there tomato there's sweet corn and a wee
04:51bit of dressing and that's a lovely pan fried chicken breast and then just some homemade wedges
04:57done in the air fryer with some seasoning and this was lovely and light it's been quite mild today not
