I thought I will write what I made/cooked as a journal..

On Sunday, I bought a roast chicken from woolworth and served it with home made fries and spinach salad.
I find it economical to buy the ready roast chicken from the shop. I shredded the left over meat and stored it in the freezer.
I had half a loaf of left over bread and made bread pudding as a dessert.

This morning,I mixed half of the chicken with shredded cheese and pasta sauce ( no proportion..just add a bit of cheese and sauce till you think it looks good, spread that on to three puff pastry sheets, roll it and bake at 350 for abt 20 mints. cut each roll in to half. Send one half as lunch, froze the other half for next week.
I send bread pudding as a snack.

Tonite I will be making chicken pot pie.
Make a soup with vege, add the chicken in to it. Pour in to individual soup bowls ( narrow mouth), cut a piece of puff pastry, cover the soup bowl with the pastry, bake for about 12 mints till the pastry is golden.

Serve it with garlic bread on the side ( pound a clove of garlic well, mix with 2 tbl spn softened butter, add a bit of mixed herb. Slice a baguette, spread the butter, seal in foil, bake at 350 degree for 15 mints.
Note: I bake the bread and the soup simultaneously.

So from one roast chicken, I had two dinner..two school lunches and the cost for the chook was 10$

Tonite before going to bed, I will cook 1 cup of sushi rice. Yaya wanted to eat sushi and I will send Sushi for lunch tomorrow.
I have made apple pie on sunday. I will warm that as a snack
( Buy canned apples, add brown sugar, cinnamon and a bit of butter,,cook till it is thick. There was a time I made my own pastry. Now I use ready made pastry. fill it..bake it,,freeze it.
