A Week of Dinners

I happen to be of the belief that to eat is to live... literally.  I adore eating, and that means I have to cook, and have actually learned to quite enjoy that as well.  I also realise that I eat far better than most people my age, no, I take that back.  I eat better than most people. 

My personal food manifesto:

I will eat.  I will not scrimp on butter or salt.  I will take my dessert and relish every single bite it.  I will be grateful.

Yet, despite my love of butter, salt and the sweet stuff, I do eat quite healthily, mostly because I make the majority of my own meals.  Well, to be more precise either my husband or I do - we both love food.  As most people have heard, yes, we should watch fats, sodium and sugars, but chances are the stuff we add is nothing comapred to the stuff found in premade (and often overprocessed) foods. 

So here is a week's worth of meals in my house:

Saturday: Frisee Salad, Pumpkin Soup and Mini-Rolls (from a local bakery)
Sunday: Lime & Honey Glazed Salmon with Basmati and Broccolini (care of Bon Appetit)
Monday: Roasted Potatoes, Peppers and Halloumi (care of Nigella Bites)
Tuesday: Leftover Night - Linguini with homemade Bolognese Sauce (which I froze last week)
Wednesday: Grilled Steak with Fingerling Potatoes, and Lemon-Pepper Kale

Maybe not a whole week, but still, enough, and all delicious.  I'm really looking forward to tonight's Halloumi dish.
