Fireside Dinner Menu # 19

This morning I got my first request for a menu post. Apparently someone needs some ideas! My apologies for neglecting the fireside… trust me, it is not that we have not been eating… just not typing about it.

This week’s menu is not terribly ambitious, but here it is. The happiest find here, however, was pulled pork. I made panini’s but you can do almost anything with it. Even lasagna! The link is to a variety of pulled pork recipes.

Fireside Dinner Menu # 18

So this week I am posting “off site”. We are blessed to be on our December holiday in the Eastern Cape. Scroll down to download the file with the links to some of the recipes.

The menu this week has a lot of ambitious efforts of which the highlight is probably Jan Braai’s carrot cake. It is as fantastic as it sounds, and I am thinking we might try it for our Christmas dinner as well.

I clearly also had a coconut milk theme going this week!

Fireside dinner menu # 17

This week features a lot of sweet potatoes because I had a craving. We also cleaned out all the extra’s from the freezer so yes, Wednesday night’s dinner came from a box…

I told you about the lamb shank saga. The recipe is here.

Thursday night introduced me to a mac ‘n cheese braaibroodjie. Do not knock it until you’ve tried it, you will not be sorry!

You can download the full menu below, linking to some of the recipes.

Fireside Dinner Menu # 16

This week kicked my ass! My apologies for a late menu, but here it is. At least in time for the weekend.

I don’t have a lot to say about this week’s menu, except that I was perhaps a bit ambitious for a Friday night.

You are welcome to download the menu with links to some of the recipes below.

The 7 colours of the rainbow May 9, 2024
By the grace of God we got to the 7th birthday. Lilliputian Lisa is turning into some kind of project manager, organising everything and everyone. Planning, calculating and overthinking in general. Lilliputian Hannes is a bit of a wild card in most senses. He is everyone’s friend, he is the main attraction to any event […]
A new school year January 26, 2024
And so school starts. It has been a little more than a week since the first day of Grade 1 for the Lilliputians. The December school holiday was long, and I was not sorry when the 17th of January rolled around. Do not get me wrong, our holiday was amazing. You will remember that the […]
Tell me it’s their first flight without telling me it’s their first flight August 11, 2023
The Lilliputians had their first flight in July. Yes, it is now much later, but a first experience should be documented. I took them to go and visit my folks in the Eastern Cape. The Engineer stayed behind to watch the labs, the house and the budget. I had the first flight with my Lilliputians. […]
Lilliputian lessons for the 6th year May 9, 2023
Goodness and grace! How did we get here? Probably both goodness and grace, right? Today the Lilliputians are 6 years old. I have been a mother for 6 years already. I have to admit that this first year in a new school and different classes… it has been tough on this Mamma. So let me […]
How the tooth mouse came back and bit me in the ass March 24, 2023
The first tooth was pulled in our house this week. It was actually not pulled because both the Engineer and I refused to do it, so the owner of the tooth managed to do it herself. Super proud about this rite of passage, she allowed for a photo to be taken and ran off to […]
