I really haven't been doing much cooking recently :( The last couple of days that Joshua was with us I just made some of his favorite food before sending him down to his Moms place in Kansas. And then this week I've been so preoccupied with my new car that I haven't even done my weekly shop and it's Thursday! We are down to one roll of kitchen towel and one roll of toilet paper and Bentley is eating Pennys special urinary tract health dog food.
On Monday however I did cook a beef bourguignon from an erin sachet (kindly sent over by my doting parents). It was delicious, tasted nice and homey and included a glass of red wine which, I'm sure some of my relatives who were in France will be happy to know, was my first glass of red wine since returning from France 9 days earlier! (I drank at least one glass a day whilst in France).
I left the bacon out of the recipe as we are trying to loose weight and instead added extra mushrooms and fresh green beans. I served it with a chunk of Italian bread to soak up the sauce.
My stash of sachets sent over from Ireland is nearly gone, so will have to start buttering up the old folks to send some more ;) Seriously though, it is nice to have some good proper from home meals.
Fingers crossed my next blog will include a recipe from my cookbook!!!!
Eat well, think well, live well.
