Happy Monday evening everyone!
Back to work tomorrow but I was motivated to get into the kitchen today and do some proper cooking.
So....instead of a scrappy spags bol for dinner, I put in the extra effort to make a lasagna complete with bechamel sauce. I even added a bit more love to the meat sauce than normal. So I seasoned it with herbs de provincale, basil, oregano, bay leaf, cinnamon, paprika and cumin. That's a bit more than I would normally put it.
It's also the start of cauliflower season here and the supermarket had a lovely batch of fresh, white looking cauliflowers. And it was reasonably priced too. $2 for a whole cauli. So, I got some leeks and made cauliflower soup. I didn't mess around with making it too complex. So it was just the cauli, leek, water and vegetable stock. I did add a cinnamon stick.
And I didn't stop there. I decided I needed to do a bit of baking as well. Apples are also new season here. I made some apple cinnamon muffins. Followed this recipe, although I used extra butter instead of vegetable oil.

WFDT?
Lasagne. I suspect I will be having lasagne for dinner tomorrow night. It was a very big dish and we have a ton left! I'll also be having cauliflower soup. That's what I had planned for tomorrow night anyway. It'll give DH a Tuesday night off.
Wednesday will be dinner at mum's.
Thursday.....will be ramen noodles.
And who knows what Friday may bring?
Have a great day all.
