Fireside Dinner Menu # 24

This week’s menu has a lot of happy moments but my personal favourite was the paprika potatoes. You have to try them – I think you will want to braai them with everything.

My cornbread crust did not come out quite crusty enough, so please let me know if you managed to make it look like in the pic of the website!

The sliders came out beautifully as well, I did however assemble them and then baked them in the oven for a while as well. The slow cooker is your friend for the pulled chicken!

Fireside Dinner Menu # 23 – the week of the traybakes

I may or may not have mentioned before that these menu’s are not “real time” in that I only started posting these a while after I started logging our meals and recipes. Sometimes, therefore, you will get 7 unique meals but it would not always be Monday to Sunday. Sometimes I skip the confession that we had yet another takeaway or that we had cake for dinner (and with we I mean me) or that dinner involved something from a box that you could stick in the oven.

As I then type these up I am often reminded of a special meal or lovely company or something that did not come out as I intended it to. These recipes are therefore not only recipes but also little moments in time. And that my friends, is why I eat too much!

This week is also the week of the tray bakes. In essence it just means it is something that you spread out and stick in the oven. Gotta love it!

Fireside dinner menu # 20 – the meat-free edition

I think together with new year resolutions and attempts to reinvent ourselves, there is definitely a trend currently to have a few meat free meals per week. We have not yet gone there, but I did chat to a friend this morning who said that they have now incorporated this into their weekly meal plan.

Cyclone Eloise has brought wet weather to our parts and soup and curry is definitely back on the menu this week!

I, therefore, decided to give you a few options that can be done on the braai. Try these as a side or a main. Scroll down to download the menu with clickable links.

And yes, I know the zucchini slice has bacon listed, you can leave that out.
