Crunch time

For many years now I've kept a household menu, to save time and money in planning meals, ensure variety and avoid waste. Since 2010 I've been tallying up what we eat each year (nerdy, I know) and posting the results on this blog on 20 April. That date seems to roll around faster each year!

This year our most eaten home-cooked meals were:

potato, leek, bacon and cannellini bean soup

creamy tuna pasta

Thai eggplant curry

Chinese dumplings

potato salad

pasta bolognese

Shakshuka

Spanish omelette

pumpkin and coriander soup

I've also discovered a few new favourites that are likely to feature in future lists ...

steamed silken tofu with lemongrass coconut milk

char kway teow

Bombay toast

black pepper tofu

and just lately have been experimenting with reducing carbohydrates in recipes by substituting piles of fresh vegetables for (say) pasta or bread. (My pancreas has opinions and I'm trying to listen to them.)

Cheers!
