I saw some sausage meat for £1.35 in Morrisons. Bought some puff pastry and made these.

Was very nice. Bacon too ofc, ham added after for the macros...

Disclaimer, I severed the tendon in my pinky finger doing this..

Sausages, garlicky mash, cauliflower/broccoli cheese with spring onions, peas and gravy.

Lovely prawn crisps (found it on Tesco), unlike oishee, nongshim etc brands shrimp crackers, the flavour is quite mild & I can’t really smell any shrimp and I find it a little too salty but overall quite tasty.

A few days late because I was sick on my actual birthday.

Starter - scallops, cauliflower and cold smoked Stilton puree with apple.

Main - Kurobuta pork chops, carrot and ginger puree, leeks and braised red cabbage served with a mustard pan sauce.

Yes I know the pork will be too pink for some people’s tastes but this is how I like mine cooked.

Highly recommend the pork chops, it’s the first time I’ve had them and would 100% get them again.

Slow cooker Brisket Chilli Con Carne. Onions, red peppers, fresh coriander stalks all chopped / sliced. Brisket seared in beef fat before creating the sauce, consisting of 4 cloves smashed garlic, chilli powder, cumin, ground coriander, oregano, beef stock and one tin of chopped tomato. Kidney beans stirred in for the last hour.

And a cube of high cocoa dark chocolate when taking it off its 8hr cook.

Portion up, let it cool and serve the following day / freeze. Dress with chopped coriander leaves.

Went to lidl and grabbed some fish, mash potatoes and mushy peas here is end product made within 20mins shame I had no mint sauce to add to the mushy peas though. I did add a tablespoon of butter to help it out a lidl bit ... (ba dum tish).

Really impressed with Aldi's wagyu steak range, I've had about 10 now and they're always delicious. You have to sift through them to find ones with decent marbling, but there's some real belter knocking around in there!

with homemade (ish - I used a pack of white bread mix) seeded bread and homemade butter. I used the leftover buttermilk in the bread dough so nothing went to waste.

My fav comfort food, but I cheated on the yorkies
