The weekend flew by!

Well, can you believe that the weekend just gone was the last one in July! I really don't know where this year is going to. The grandchildren have already had a week of their summer break from school and as usual been enjoying a variety of activities which although I don't always share in person I do get to hear about it ... which is lovely 😊

It's so often a time for summer BBQ's, weather permitting, and you just can't beat the wonderful aroma of a BBQ can you, interspersed with calls of the burgers are nearly ready make sure the salad is on the table ... goodness I'm getting hungry just writing about it 😉

If you should be looking for low carb/keto burger recipes you'll find a variety on this link here

But now back to today! It's Monday, which starts with a 'M' so let's keep the 'M' theme going and enjoy a Moussaka for dinner! These Moussaka-stuffed aubergines/eggplants served 
with a nice green salad as a side dish ... sounds good. You can see the recipe instructions here

It sounds like a wonderful and lively summer, filled with family moments, delicious meals, and thoughtful reminders about health

The year really is disappearing fast. The children think the summer holidays will last forever and find they vanish too fast.

We were just saying yesterday that July has flown by at speed.
I love aubergine and will try this recipe soon using puy lentils instead of lamb. They have a good depth of flavour that would I think be a good swap.
I must be the only one who shuts the windows at the first whiff of a barbeque being lit in the neighbourhood!

How strange, I have moussaka on our menu this week.
Life does seem to be going at a rapid pace these days doesn't it.
I hope life runs at the perfect speed for you this week so that you can enjoy each day.

It's a while since we had moussaka. Thanx for the reminder.

God bless.

Hello Jan :)
A meal that makes my mouth water. It looks so delicious. Meat balls and pasta for my lunch today. I love Greek and Italian food. Weeks fly by don't they, so enjoy each day.
Have a happy week
All the best

Jan, that looks absolutely delicious! I've clicked to the link you have provided and will copy it. My husband just brought in our first eggplant from our garden yesterday!

I agree that this year is just flying by, before you know it the kids will be back in school. Yes it is nice to grill out, we bought some steaks to have on the grill this weekend, with a salad of course :)
