And hello weekend, and the first day of Spring. I have to say the week didn't seem quite so bad with working slightly less hours, I love having just that bit of extra time in the morning, it really makes all the difference. I am just a bit more organised and that's a lovely feeling.
On the food front, we made two meat dishes, one we've never made (Beef Ribs) and the other one we haven't had for ages (Baked Spicy Chicken Wing). A while ago at the local Sunday Markets we bought some spice mixes and one was called "Texas Rub" it is a Smoky BBQ rub suitable for beef, pork or chicken. We chose to make Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Ribs with it, firing up the BBQ on Sunday and slow cooking them for three hours, when they were almost done we brushed them with a home made BBQ sauce. Talk about tender!
For the chicken wings, I have left the info at the end of this post for what we use to bake these wings, again, simple and delicious.

What we ate
Friday-It was just me for dinner as everyone else went out for a Fishing Club Presentation so I had leftover Mexican Sweet Potato Wraps
Saturday-Our son made Chicken Pad See Ew
Sunday-Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Ribs with Quinoa, Cranberry and Roast Almond Salad
Monday-Tempura Whiting with Bok Choy and Steamed Basmati Rice

Wednesday-Pan Fried Fish with Warm Potato, Lemon and Parsley Salad and a Tossed Salad
Thursday-Baked Spicy Chicken Wings with Choy Sum and Steamed Basmati Rice
For the baked chicken wings, I use a sachet of "Seasons Spicy Bake Mix" plus sesame oil, I put the halved and tipped chicken wings (about 2 kg's) in a large bowl, pour over some sesame oil and then sprinkle over one of the sachets, give it a good mix, pop onto a lined oven tray or two and bake in a hot oven for 45 minutes, it makes for a deliciously simply dinner. It was Lovely Hubby's late Gran that put us onto this originally and you can buy the spice mix at most Asian supermarkets
Your turn, did you cook anything new this week? What about any old favourites? I's love to hear about it.
Have a lovely day,
