Lamb can often be more expensive to buy... but it can make a welcome midweek meal. I often look for special offers, and get some nice lamb loin chops or cutlets and enjoy them with some red onion, celery and buttery mashed swede.

Oh, I love lamb. We don't eat it as much as I'd like because of the price, but as you say, you can pick up some bargains sometimes.
Lamb does taste good doesn't it Jo.
... and you can't beat a Sunday Roast Lamb dinner with mint sauce!
Many thanks for your comment.

My husband loves lamb chops and this recipe looks perfect for us.
Lamb is popular with many 'NC'
...one of our sons would eat it every day, he likes it so much!
This is a nice recipe which I'm sure you and your husband will enjoy.

Hi,
I have not had lamb in a long time. I really should buy some. It is expensive here in the States. In fact my boys have never tried it.
Your recipe sounds great.

Lamb is an expensive meat Carla.
It seems to me whichever country you live it is one of the more expensive to buy. I do look for bargains and enjoy it when I do get the opportunity to cook it.

Hi Jan,
We often have lamb here and it is such a delicious meal cooked with rosemary and garlic.
I agree with you, a nice glass of red wine, is good to have with it.
Many thanks for the kind visit to my blog and the note you left.
Happy October

That's a great recipe. We have lambchops everynow and then - it is an easy dinner that's for sure!
Yes, Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic sounds perfect too Carolyn.
For some reason I prefer a red wine when I am eating lamb, but sometimes may only enjoy a glass of water with my meal ... it just depends!
Happy October Wishes

So nice to enjoy lamb chops every now and again Amy.
They are quick, easy and very tasty to do.
Hope you have a great October.

These lamb chops look yummy. Being part Greek, my mom used to make lamb chops growing up, and I haven't had them in a long time. I think people either like lamb.....or they don't. :)

You can do so much with lamb Sheri ...
From the humble chop, a super Sunday roast - even lamb burgers. If you like lamb there are many recipes to enjoy. I do think in many countries it can be a more expensive meat to buy, so possibly this may mean it is more restrictive on people's menu plans? It may be necessary to look out for bargains - because they are out there.
Many thanks for your comment.
Happy October Wishes.
All the best Jan
