Premade chicken from M&S with a cheesy garlic potato bake and steamed spinach.

We're having mashed potatoes and some green beans instead of the potato bake.

Oh jealous, I love spaghetti squash! I will need to try and grow some next year!
I'd never had it before, ordered it with my veg box this week because I was intrigued! I liked it, but DH wasn't a fan.

Very VeggieTM Spag Bol with Garlic Bread and Salad
Too cute!  :-*


I'm making an adzuki bean and squash stew (a dish trying to imitate the macrobiotic dish from my old work) and I will sautee some shitake mushrooms on the side.
This came out super tasty!  I added spinach and broccoli to the shitake 'shrooms.  It's food that totally reminds me of the cafe at my old work and I realize that my old boss's birthday was yesterday so that's what must have inspired me at the subconscious level!

Trying out cabbage soup.

Leftovers of this. It turned out quite tasty, which is good because we still have plenty!

Recipe?
Weigh out 150 grams of aduki beans (the original recipe called for 300, but I prefer a bit less beans and more veggies) and soak overnight.

After the beans have soaked cook until tender.  In a big wide pot fry up a chopped onion, a couple cloves of garlic and a big chunk of grated ginger (I used a piece almost as big as two thumbs).

Weigh out 300 grams of squash cut into bite-sized ish chunks.  This was just about an entire butternut squash, but you can use any winter squash.  Cut up two carrots into smaller pieces (the squash takes longer to cook).  Add to the softened onions, add a bit of water and simmer with the lid on.

When veggies are tender, thin 4 tablespoons of miso paste in a bit of water and add to veggies.  Add the beans.

Homemade fishcakes made with a tin of tuna and some leftover mashed potato, with chips and peas on the side.

We ordered Chinese. Been a crazy 'ol day, and it just seemed easier than cooking.
