#BadPicsOfFood I like coffee, I like making my own at home with my machine... I also really like opening a box of fresh supplies for the next few months.

#BadPicsOfFood for lunch today was a bacon, stilton, crispy onion burger in a toasted ciabatta bun.

Was a quick lunch for today and another not very healthy one... Tonight, chicken & veg noodles which is kinda healthier.

So simple yet so satisfying..
PB and strawberry preserves
Ice cold milk

You're there huh..

#BadPicsOfFood for today, after finishing work for the day and going to do the grocery shopping... I treated myself to a latte, mini jam donut and choc chip cookie for a mid afternoon sugar rush.

It's actually the first thing I've eaten all day... ran out of crumpets for my breakfast and was debating if I should have some lunch before shopping for food... or risk the hunger driving my purchases... hunger purchasing won.

I will at least have a proper dinner this evening... some of the lamb casserole I made on Sunday, topped with crispy sliced potatoes.

#BadPicsOfFood today is a slice of chocolate fudge cake that I brought back from the beach cafe earlier.

Shame I didn't have any clotted cream of even some whipped cream to go with it.

But it's a still #NomNomNom time

#BadPicsOfFood today is a cottage pie.

Beef mince, parsnips, carrots, onion & peas in a gravy made with beef stock, seasoning & herbs. Topped with buttery mash, sprinkled with grated cheese and placed under the grill for that crispy top.

A giant coffee to go with my giant cookie and tiny macaroon.

#BadPicsOfFood the result

Here it is... the stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon was so large, one did two portions. So the other is in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

On the side is seasond roast potatoes, honey roasted carrots & parsnips and some marrowfat peas.

It's delish

And that right there is why I cook batches of stuff and freeze it. #Dinner. Boom.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

#BadPicsOfFood today should possibly be called good.

It's a very simple pasta bake, but made my way to spice it up a little.

300g of smoked pancetta and ham, fried off in some butter. Add in a tomato and bacon sauce (500g), bring up to a simmer. Add in a 250g tub of mascapone, and letit all mix in and bring back to a simmer. Throw in about 100g of mozzarella, and you get a nice thick cheesy sauce... too cheesy.

So throw in a load of tomato puree until it has a slight tomato tang again.

Cook up 500g of pasta, divide into various dishes, pour over and mix in the sauce. Sprinkle the top with a mix of strong cheddar and mozzarella and pop in the oven for about 30 mins to get a nice crispy topping... or if the sauce/pasta is still hot, under the grill to achieve the same result.

Also take a nice flatbread, smother with garlic and herb butter, some more cheddar and mozzarella and also pop under the gril until crispy and slightly burnt around the edges (oops)

There's enough for at least 5 or 6 portions.

I don't know what it is but I love burned #broccoli. This round has olive oil salt and pepper and Tony Chachere's for a little kick

#BadPicsOfFood today, the other half of the beef in red wine with parsnips, carrots onion & peas... now with added potato and a shortcrust pastry top.

#BadPicsOfFood today is a beef in red wine casserole, with peas, carrots, parsnips & onion... That I let nurdle away in the slow cooker from 11am until 6pm. Served with some re-cooked roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips from yesterdays

Looks like a bowl of slop... tastes like a feast for kings.

#BadPicsOfFood for today... bacon cheeseburger and crispy fries.

Not just any old burger though, a wagu beefburger, oak smoked bacon and a very strong mature cheddar.

Shame the bun was just a cheap ultra processed one instead of a nice sourdough... But it's what we had in the house.

#BadPicsOfFood today... is it a wrap, is it a burrito... whatever it is, it's toasted, flattened... and filled with diced ham, pepperoni, onion, oak smoked cheese & BBQ sauce.

Nice quick lunch at my desk today... plumber is in making noise and turning on/off water and heating a load... It's hard to work with the noise, so working & eating whilst he goes for lunch.

#BadPicsOfFood for this fine... sorry.... stormy, gale force windy, rain hammering at the windows.... day.

Sirloin steak, marinated in maggi, pepper and garlic for 4hrs, seared and then cooked in unsalted melted butter until medium rare.

Onions & mushrooms pan fried in the juices and turned into a sauce to be scooped... not poured, this stuff is so thick you could stand a spoon up in it.

On the side was salad potatoes, cut into thick slices, seasoned with a bit of rapeseed oil, salt & pepper and then pan friend until crispy.

Opened a tin of marrowfat peas to throw on the side... because I like them.

Perfection on a plate.

#BadPicsOfFood today is turkey, gammon, carrot & onion in a mushroom sauce. Sliced, seasoned & airfried salad potatoes, and topped with a slice of puff pastry.

I cheated, we had a ready roll of pastry in the fridge. So I thought I'd see how it would come out if done in the airfryer.

The answer is excellent... A square piece on a bit of baking paper, about 7 mins, flip it over and another 3 mins to crisp up the bottom (ooer missus) and you've got perfectly flaky pastry.

It's not the same as making a complete pie... but it's a lot quicker. No need to use the oven at all for anything. Cook the filling in a sautee pan on the hob and serve.
