Weekend Recipe Suggestions ... here are three!

Well yesterdays weather for many here in the UK was wet as Storm Claudia brought heavy and persistent rain to parts of the United Kingdom. I didn't venture out but enjoyed a quiet day doing a little housework and some reading, which was most enjoyable.

Now it's the weekend again (don't they come round quickly), and as one of the grandchildren mentioned to me, there are only six weekends 'til Christmas! Is it me or has this year flown by? I've started doing a little Christmas shopping, but still have more to do.  

Anyway back to the weekend ... on todays post I share three meals that you may wish to try for lunch, dinner or supper! If you should be carb. conscious the sausage recipe has 25 carbs per serving, the chicken one 14 carbs per serving and the vegetable one 35... but of course you can check the details out on the links given.

Whatever your plans are for the weekend
I wish you a happy and peaceful one

You will find a variety of recipe ideas within this blog, and it is important to note, not all may be suitable for you. If you may have any food allergies, or underlying health issues these must always be taken into account.

If you have any concerns about your health, it is always advisable to consult your doctor or health care team.

All the best Jan

They all look delicious, but I think I would enjoy the vegetarian stew the most - yum! This year has definitely flown by in a flash.

It's raining here too, and quite stormy today, so I'm doing a lot of crafting and painting.

Won't be long and it will be Christmas again, Jan. Nice looking meals.

The Flying Jacob sounds great! On the list! "Sadly" Ingo will this weekend make his super-yum steak with mushrooms and a childhood-dish, spinach with mashed potatoes and fried egg. He eats again - yippie, and cooks.

I'd have the Flying Jacob just for the name!

Giorgio said...

That vegetarian strew seems delicious and well balanced.
I Hope the storm will not damage British countryside and villages.

Belle queste ricette.
Considerato che sono un po' malaticcia, sicuramente l' ultima è sicuramente più adatta per questo fine settimana.

We have had very warm weather this weekend, so have really enjoyed having the doors open probably for the last time this season. Hope everyone made it through the storm well. They are getting some hard rains and flooding iin California.

My favourite has to be the Flying Jacob. I looked up the link and it looks a great recipe. What a fabulous name for the meal. I did like the other two recipes too.

Here in Portugal, where I am at the moment "Claudia" brought a lot of damages from north to south. Have a great week Jan.

I like the vegetarian stew because it is a slow cooker one, but the sausage casserole would be my second choice, Jan.
