Dear Jan, the presentations in the photos are beautiful.
The almond lentil stew sounds absolutely delicious and that creamy Spanish chicken looks good to me, too. Yum.
Gracias por las recetas. te mando un beso.
Those are some good looking recipes. I want to try the spinach chicken!
Looks delicious
Thank you for all these wonderful choices Jan. They look delicious! I was at the Pasty Shop this afternoon and I brought some British-style bangers. Made over here but just like back home :) Always look forward to them. Happy week to you and all the best, Denise.
That creamy spinach chicken looks divine!!
It's good to have a line up of choices. All of these sound tasty and easy.
They all look so comforting, warming and delicious..just the right ones for the cold winter days.
Thanks for the recipes again!!
The chicken with spinach seemed interesting to me!!
They all look good Jan. I once used to make this type of food but not so much these days.
Hmmm, the chicken it is - thank you for all your suggestions and advice and info, Jan!
What delicious dishes they all are! I'd love to eat them all. It's great that you included the conversion link!
Have a good day! Hugs, Elke
The tray bake is my favourite; and easiest to make.
God bless.
Hello, I have just found you. I (re)started Keto last week, in an effort to stave off the dreaded pre-diabetes diagnosis. I shall certainly visit your website. Thank you . Joy x x
Gostei de tuas sugestões.Muito boas e práticas!
beijos, lindo dia! chica
Queste ricette che proponi oggi sono tutte deliziose.
Bom dia e uma excelente quarta-feira Jan. Obrigado pelas cinco opções de refeições. Grande abraço do Brasil.
Very tasty, Jan. I especially like the look of the the chicken and fish recipes. It's warmer here today and the sun is shining.
Yummy looking ideas here, Jan! Tonight I'm going to use up some odds and ends because we leave tomorrow to care for our friend's dog again and won't be back until February. At least I'll be a bit more familiar with the kitchen at our friend's house this time :-)
Ooooh lovely recipes. I've been looking for some menu inspiration. Thank you
...they all look appealing.
This meal is perfect in Winter.
Have a nice Wednesday :-)
All sound very comforting for cold nights.
I’d eat them all.
a tray bake is always such an easy meal to make. A great variety of meals to choose from!
These are all delicious looking options for dinners. The fish recipe looks most appealing today. Thank you.
All looks delicious, thanks for sharing these meals and recipes.
Take care, have a great day!
These look good and the last sounds really interesting :-D
Oh Jan. My mouth is drooling over these recipes. I will deferentially be making some of these. Thank you for always sharing the best information and recipes. Have a great day.
I'll take some Cream Spinach Soup. Looks so good. thanks.
They all look really good.
They all look good but my choice is number one!!
Definitely good options; I particularly like 3 and 4, but they're all very good.
Cheers.
Looking fantastic recipes!
Each of those meals looks delicious! I have copied and pasted the first two to start with. My husband just made sausages yesterday and the first recipe would be ideal to try them with, plus we have parsnips from the garden. Thanks so much!
Happy New Year! All these recipes look delicious! I made lentil Soup for New Years Day as eating lentils is thought to bring good luck to the new year in the Italian American tradition.
the chicken meal looks really good but I still haven't made one of thos pan meals yet
I'd try them all but I know 'him indoors' probably wouldn't.
Todas me parecen buenas, me quedo con el cerdo con garbanzos. Besos.
I can't decide which is my favourite as they all look delicious but maybe the creamy spinach chicken is just a little ahead. Thank you for always sharing such great recipes, Jan.
