Leftovers ... and a Birthday Meal Out

 

After leaving myself with a lonely, single sausage after a sausage bun for my lunch last week, I decided this morning that I had better use it up and free some more space in my freezer.  

I could have made myself a mini single sausage Toad in the Hole, or cooked it up, sliced it and added it to a bowl of pasta for an evening meal, but I was feeling lazy so instead I simply popped it into the Remoska to cook. 

And while it was cooking away I whipped up a mini, slightly cheesy omelette using one egg and a big pinch of grated cheese, and using the biscuit cutter that was nearest in size to my slices of bread as a shaping device.

As you can see it worked a treat, and with the sausage sliced in half made for a tasty and surprisingly filling breakfast.

I'm a bit late in posting today as we enjoyed a real family day yesterday, we were helping my little great-grandson Finley-James celebrate his 2nd birthday.  His birthday was actually on Friday, he had a party with all his little friends and family members on Saturday at a soft-play venue, and then he had a meal with our side of the family and his big and little brothers yesterday.  This photo is of him letting off a bit of steam after finishing his lunch, he needed to he seemingly has the same big appetite that his dad and grandad had at that age.

While Finley-James and his great grandad Pete both tucked into chicken nuggets and chips, for my lunch I chose BBQ Cauliflower Wings served with a lovely cous cous based side salad, absolutely delicious and a bit more complicated than this mornings simple breakfast ... oh and for the record great-grandad Alan had Hunters Chicken and chips.  😀

Now it's all back to normal and menu planning for the week ahead.

  1. That's a brilliant idea for cooking your egg! I'd try it myself but my cutters are plastic so I'd better not ;0)
    Aw...happy birthday to Finley-James, it sounds like he had a lovely time of it. Your cauliflower wings look amazing too.

    1. Haha ... no definitely NOT. A melted plastic-edged egg of any description would not be a good thing!!

      He had a great weekend, but was literally fast asleep the minute they strapped him into his car seat.
