Hi guys. Tonight for dinner I'm making a Thai Curry in our slow cooker. That is why it's
currently light while I'm filming, it's about midday now. I'm going to chuck everything
into our slow cooker so that it's ready for later on. I'll show you what goes into it.
All right, this is everything that's going to go into it. Last night I pulled out about
four chicken breasts from our freezer so that it could defrost overnight. I've got that
there chopped up. That's going in and then I'm also throwing in a courgette, which is
on its last legs, so I need to use this up. I may also add a pepper, but we're a bit low
on veg at the moment. I'm going to put this in for now and if we go out and get more I'll
stick that in as well. Then you basically use about a quarter of this jar. This is the
green Thai Curry paste from Blue Dragon. Then also a can of coconut milk.
All right, now all I'm going to do is chuck all the ingredients into my slow cooker and
have it on high for four hours. I tend to always do chicken on high for four hours.
But on the jar of the paste it says they recommend to put in [inaudible 00:01:07] to add mushrooms,
so that's something you could try. And I also noticed I'm doing double the chicken. The
jar again, it says for 400 grams of chicken, use a quarter jar of the paste. But I'm doing
double that chicken so I'm going to do half of the jar of the paste. But I only have one
coconut milk so it might be quite strong, but we're going to give it a go. (music)
Okay, it's four hours later now and we've just plated up our dinner. We're having it
with brown rice and then this is the chicken curry on top. I did actually end up adding
one green pepper when there was about an hour left. Yeah, it looks really, really good.
The whole house smells amazing. We're going to eat this now.
Hi guys. Tonight for dinner we're having a Shepherd's pie. Today I filmed a meal prep
video and I actually made three Shepherd's pies. Tonight is quite a big one, so we may
even have enough for tomorrow night as well. But yeah, what goes into this is pretty much
carrots, onions, celery, lamb mince, and then it's covered with mashed potato. And I'm going
to sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top and we'll probably serve this with some gravy.
But yeah, I like this dinner because it's all in one. The veg, the meats, the potato,
it's all in one dish. We're just going to eat that now and it's a nice hearty meal for
when it's cold outside as well.
Everything in the Shepherd's pie has already been cooked on the Hob, so all I'm doing now
when I put it in the oven, is just heating it up. (music)
All right, this is my portion and then we're just having some gravy with it. It's literally
just [inaudible 00:03:32]. It's not homemade or anything, but that is dinner tonight. Then
we've also got some more for another lunch or another dinner.
Tonight for dinner we're going to be trying out some vegetarian enchiladas. This is a
Jamie Oliver recipe and I've never tried it before. I just thought it might be a good
one because I try to have at least two vegetarian meals a week. I'm trying to just cut down
on meat. There's so many benefits to that for me and the environment as well. I just
thought if I could slowly stop eating as much meat, that'll be easier. And my mom in Canada,
she's actually gone nearly completely vegetarian by adding another day a week she'll eat vegetarian.
She started out by eating one day a week vegetarian and then she just slowly upped it and I think
she's up to five days a week now she's veggie. I'm going to try this tonight. They sound
really good, loads of veg in it with black beans. Obviously in a wrap with some cheese
as well, so they look delicious. I'll show you how I do it.
This is everything I'm going to need for these enchiladas. We've got spring onions, coriander,
two red peppers, some peeled plum tomatoes, sweet corn, cumin, a fresh chili, fresh lime,
wraps, garlic, black beans, feta cheese and then you can also put cheddar cheese on top.
I might put
a bit of that. But yeah, let's get cooking. (music)
All right, the enchiladas were really, really delicious and you don't really miss the meat
because of the beans and all the veggies. But the only thing I would say was it did
take me an hour to make, but I have made enough for two nights, so we'll have it again tomorrow
night so that gets a bit more time back.
Hi guys, I'm just cooking up dinner for tonight, so I thought I would show you what we're having.
We're basically having pasta but in a couple of different ways. I'm just cooking up some
pasta here on the stove and I'm also frying some sausages just in our frying pan. The
boys are going to have sausage pasta with this homemade pasta sauce. I showed this in
my recent meal prep video, but it's basically tomato, [inaudible 00:07:56], garlic, basil
and olive oil and stuff like that. You can make up a big batch like this and just give
it to the boys and you can also freeze it as well. They really like it and it's good
that it's not a really sugary store bought one like the one Matt and I are having tonight.
This is our favorite ever pasta sauce. It's the Lloyd Grossman tomato and chili sauce,
but it is actually a little bit spicy, hence why the boys are going to have this one. We're
going to have this one and in ours, we're actually having left over chicken. I slow
cooked a whole chicken the other day and that normally feeds us for two days. We had a gravy
dinner one day and then I'm going to put this cooked chicken in with the pasta sauce and
then I'm also going to put in some broccoli. I need to just chop up some broccoli.
We're going to be having all of this. And then I've also got some garlic bread because
the boys go crazy for it. It's literally their favorite thing. They're each going to have
a garlic bread each. I'm going to avoid it because I'm really trying my hardest to be
good because it's 2020 and all that stuff. But yeah, I'm going to cook it up and I'll
show you it when it's done. (music)
Hi guys. Tonight for dinner we are having a slow cooker, veggie chili. This is the recipe
that's actually in my planner, but I'll also link it down below if you guys want to remake
it. It basically has kidney beans in it, chopped up tomatoes, sweet potato, carrots, celery,
onion, garlic. So many veggies and Matt will eat this with brown rice but I'm actually
just going to have it plain like this because I'm really trying to cut down on carbs. Then
I've put a tiny bit of cheese on top as well. This is just a really yummy warming dinner.
We've also made enough for another two nights probably or I can have it for lunch as well.
So yeah, it's a really nice healthy one. So yeah. (music)
Hi guys. Tonight for dinner, I'm having quite an easy lazy dinner. I didn't reorganize anything.
I don't know if any you guys do this one as well, but if you don't it's a really good
one if you need a nice healthy dinner in a rush. When I went to the supermarket today,
I bought one of their whole cooked chickens. At the back of our supermarket they have a
spit roast thing and they do all types of different chicken like barbecue and Southern
fried and stuff like that. But I just bought a whole cooked chicken so we're all going
to have that tonight. The kids like it as well, so they'll just have cut up bits of
chicken and then Matt and I are going to have it with salad. I think Matt will also have
a jacket potato with it. But the kids, I'm going to do them some chips on the side and
then some raw veggies. Because as I've said before, they really like to eat raw veggies.
So yeah, that is what we're having tonight for dinner.
All that you have to do for this one is just shove some chips and some potatoes in the
oven and I've got some salad bits that I'm just going to cut up and make into a bit of
a salad and that is dinner done tonight.
Tonight for dinner, we're having pork fillets with stir fry on the side and Matt is also
going to have a jacket potato. We've got the pork fillets, they came with a peppered crust
and we've literally just fried them in the frying pan for a few minutes on each side.
Then did the stir fry separately. Just really fancy that kind of veg. We've got some soy
sauce in there as well. Then Matt's going to have a jacket potato because the boys are
having jacket potatoes tonight for dinner.
This is Matt's jacket potato. He makes crispy jacket potatoes. The kids love them as well.
Obviously you can have loads of different toppings. You're just going to have butter,
aren't you?
Oh, yeah.
Basically, his secret is you wash them, cover them in olive oil, then put it on high in
the oven for 20 minutes, like 200 and then he turns it down to 170 for 45 minutes?
Yeah, to an hour.
Yeah, 45 minutes to an hour, and then they come out like this. So yes, bit of a random
dinner-
Mom, we make [inaudible 00:14:11] with [inaudible 00:14:14].
They're very yummy. (music)
