What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

I think I'm going to have a relatively easy tea of a supermarket individual chicken pie out of the freezer, served with potato and courgette mash and nuked veg (think I have cabbage, carrots and broccoli that need using).

I made so much sauce for my pasta last night decided to have the same thing for dinner tonight.

Google told me it's national pie day (no idea where) so I made a steak, mushroom and ale pie with jacket potatoes

Made the pastry as well with half beef lard and put a bottom on it as my son was all ooh mum you've only ever made pot pies why don't you do it properly. We all had a little sleep afterwards it was so stodge-tastically delicious hence all going to bed late

I had cheesy mash and two pieces of battered omega fish to reinvigorate my brain matter.

This happened with one slight change - I decided to leave the courgette for another time as they tend to last quite well and they are one of the few veg N will eat enthusiastically (whereas I can take or leave them! They do something special when grated into mash though), so I had the pie with buttery carrot and potato mash which was bloody lush, and nuked cabbage and broc.
And gravy ofc.

Vegan low carb cauliflower cheese. This was a leap of faith after the vegan low carb savoury muffins that were so disgusting I binned them after one bite.

To my surprise it's delicious, and was also very easy to make. 10/10 would, and will, repeat.

Satsuma and yoghurt for afters as I typically forgot to do a salad or other veg to go with.

What recipe did you used for the cauliflower? I’m v keen to get MrShakes to try

It's from the Second Nature programme which I'm currently doing via the NHS weight management scheme. The recipes so far have been pretty good, the muffins were an aberration.

I had 3/4 of a small cauliflower and the sauce to cauli ratio was still on the low side.
