As I mentioned yesterday we have had a welcomed change in temperature and now have had some amazing rain, the plants are loving it, as am I. The seemingly unrelenting Summer has finally let go and we are enjoying some cooler weather. Bring it on, is all I can say.
With this coming weeks menu, I have already changed gears to more warming meals that will warm our hearts and bolster our bodies. Food is pivotal in my life, as you have probably already gathered, new recipes are always welcomed as are my tried and true recipes from that I have written about in this blog. Making and eating good food makes me happy, it's as simple as that.
Yes, I probably could trim the grocery budget but it is where I choose to invest money to make sure we are eating good food, every day. I don't spend money in other areas of my life, I rarely by new clothes, makeup, skincare, shoes, "stuff" and trinkets for our home, they just don't bring me joy, but good food, does. I know we are truly blessed to have this choice.
Now on with what we bought, spent and ate this week-

What we ate
Saturday-an old favourite of ours, simply called "Mince and Egg" our son had bought 500 grams of mince during the week, that he hadn't used, so I used it in this dish
