The **Now Eating** Thread

That looks good. I havent made fresh pasta in ages! i should probably make some soon. Been way too lazy with cooking lately.
This week and the next I will be going through the freezer so that will be a lot of mince based food and also beef / pork cassaroles :o I need more room as its only a small freezer. Maybe Ill just make a massive portions and eat same stuff few days in row...
 
Oof that looks uhmazing.

Re: the kale did you run out of spinach or was that by choice? I ended up using some beet tops to supplement my spinach because it's ridiculous how little spinach you end up with when sauteed and I wasn't sure I had enough - it also turned the bechamel a pale shade of pink, lol :D

If there's any left tomorrow (lol good one) make sure to try at least a couple slices of fried lasagna when you reheat it (http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/11/best-way-to-reheat-lasagna-food-lab.html)
 
Been away this weekend. Just arrived and scanned the thread for Cainer's OCUK special, that failed so I drooled at Maccapacca's lovely burgers - bet they tasted awesome!

Looks good, even if it does contain pineapple :p I like the presentation with the what I presume is balsamic?

Yep, balsamic glaze. Absolutely love the stuff! I use it on pretty much all my salads.

Nice lasagne! Are you sure you didn't pluck some leaves from the garden and add them in? :confused: :p

It reminds me of spinach and ricotta cannelloni, might try making some one day.

Are there any particular mince dishes from your part of the world that you make a lot of? If they're as nice-looking as the pulla/etc I'd love to see them/a recipe :)

Beetroot-stained white (well, pink:p) sauce sounds interesting. Might be something to try next time.

The kale was just a side dish really. Mostly to give my tastebuds a break from something that was at least 90% cheese :p The amount of spinach/ricotta mix didn't look like that much and was a pita to work with (it was like spreading out playdough or something) but the end result seemed to be about the right ratio.

Balsamic is awesome - my favourite thing on salad too :)

I'm not sure if I'd want to add many leaves from my garden given how often my cats "fertilise" the place :eek:

I actually thought about cannelloni and stuffed pasta a lot whilst I was making this. It's something I want to try though rolling pasta thin enough might be a bit painful...

There is a lot but I dont think they are very exciting! :D Mainly they are things like soups, meatballs and cassaroles. I will add the food pictures and what it is if I go with any traditional food this week :)
 
Meatballs with mash and some gravy. So yummy!

It rained today for an hour so went scurrying to the local Vietnamese for a big old bowl of Pho, excellent comfort food when the weather goes bad :p

Must have a go at making some myself as seems straightforward enough!

I love teriyaki salmon. Make me some too!

I kind of forgot that I have dough I should use up really but I may just leave it in the fridge another day and get some tasty salmon...

Feeling a bit rough this morning (really need to cut back on the "just one beer" in the evenings) so ended up getting unhealthy breakfast food. I guess it's motivation for the turbo trainer and gym later.

What did you do yesterday that made MFP think you'd burnt 2000 kcal btw? :)
 
I had Veal with mushrooms and sweet potato rosti last night. Was taaaasty.

I had some lovely overnight oats again for breakfast. Love them

Don't think I've already posted this, but the weekend I had:

Pork with cauliflower and cheese bites (damn good).

10787771_608741305893449_892982971_n.jpg

Protein breakfast. Scrambled 1 egg, fried another in coconut oil, 3 rashers of bacon and a wholegrain muffin. Smasher.

Homemade turkey meatballs with tomato and basil sauce with zoodles. Cracker and lean.

Salmon cooked in coconut oil. With all the veg.

Homemade turkey and chickpea curry with broccoli served with cauliflower fried rice. Looks a bit all brown as a whole, but tasty as you like and packs in 589kcal with 50.7g of protein in that plate.

That's me up to date :p
