Meals of The Week Scotland | 13th - 19th April | UK Family dinners :)

Well hello there folks and a very warm welcome back to What's For Tea. It's lovely to see you all and I hope that I find you very well and welcome back to our favourite time of the week on the channel. It's our family meals of the week. It's a big favourite with you but it's also my favourite video of the week to do. So as usual we'll start Monday all the way through till today which is Sunday. So on Monday, you haven't seen this one yet but this will be Thursday's video recipe. I made a pesto pasta so homemade pesto sauce just basically stirred through pasta and it's lovely. Totally, well not totally different but quite different to the stuff that you get in the jar. It's just so much fresher and more vibrant and just more delicious in my opinion and it's so quick. So we've got the pesto, mixed through some spaghetti on the bottom, I stirred through some baby tomatoes, topped with some black pepper and shaved parmesan and then I just popped a chicken breast in the air fryer with some seasoning on the top, sliced that up, popped that on the top as well with some extra basil. So like I said this will be coming on Thursday so this will be Thursday's video recipe. Highly recommend you watch that one especially if you like your pesto sauce. And then moving on to Tuesday we had mince round or mince pie and this was lovely as well and I do have a video recipe for a mince round or a mince pie and I will leave it down in the comments down below and also in the description box and it's lovely, it's one of our favourites as well. So this time we've got it with chips, I usually do a mashed potato but chips for a change. That's a very thick minced beef gravy and onion with a bit of puff pastry on the top and of course we've got to have baked beans if we're having this kind of thing but I must admit I do prefer it with mashed potato but we just weren't feeling like mashed potato on Tuesday but yeah this is lovely with mashed potato as well. So like I said I will leave the video recipe that I done for mince round down below just in case you want to go and make this for yourself. And then moving on to Wednesday we had chicken skewers. So we normally have some kind of curry throughout the week so just for a change I used the chicken skewers you know instead of the loose chicken or the diced chicken. So we've got some white basmati rice on the bottom, these are some curry chicken skewers. We've got two of those, there's loads of chicken on there as well you know you can't really tell on camera but there's loads of chicken there and that's just a nice hot spicy curry sauce with some peas mixed through. I normally add onion, I'd run out of onions can you believe it but yeah so no onions in the curry sauce but it was lovely anyway. And then moving on to Thursday I made tuna pasta. So I didn't have a tuna pasta seasoning sachet that I would normally use so I've just kind of had to wing this one but it was really nice. So it's penne pasta, chopped tomatoes, baby tomatoes, there's garlic in there, onion as well, there's parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt and obviously the penne pasta as well just topped with a wee bit of grated parmesan and we also had garlic bread there that you can't see but we did have garlic bread as well and that was lovely. Yeah thoroughly enjoyed that one. I love a nice hot spicy tomato based pasta. And then moving on to Friday we had sausage rolls. So these are the Gregg's sausage rolls. These are very naughty on the old calories obviously because the pastry and the sausage meat itself is quite fatty but they are delicious. So we've got a jacket potato with some grated cheese inside, that's the sausage rolls there and then some baked beans on the top which will obviously melt that lovely cheese underneath so it goes all gooey and stringy and just lovely. My mouth is actually watering thinking about that runny stringy cheese underneath. Just a wee bit of salt and pepper on the top. We love the Gregg's sausage rolls but don't have them very often just because they are quite high in calories. And then moving on to yesterday we had pasta again. It was a really busy day so I just quickly made up a tuna pasta for me and a macaroni cheese for Mr What's For Tea. He's not the biggest fan of the tuna pasta although I love it. So this is just basically the same as what I had the other day but I didn't use chopped tomatoes this time. I just used tomato soup. I didn't have any so that was fine and then I done my usual macaroni cheese for him. Just my usual standard macaroni cheese with a few tomatoes at the side. Just a wee bit of salt and black pepper on the top. This is one of his favourites. He would eat this seven days a week. I like macaroni cheese but yeah I'm not the biggest fan. I prefer more of a tomato based pasta and I did forget to film this as I was putting it onto the plates so I just remembered at the end. Oh my goodness so I got my camera out or my phone out just to capture this just at the end. Now moving on to today we were actually out so we went for a kind of late lunch early dinner with the people we're going on holiday with. So the other couple that we are going on holiday with as you know we are going to Chicago and Washington pretty soon so we're just kind of getting together going over last minute details and that kind of thing. So I went to a local place this is called the clock tower and it's a kind of bistro cafe bar type place very laid back but the food is lovely and it's quite reasonable as well and it's in a really nice setting so perfect just to go over sort of last minute travel plans make sure we've got everything and discuss outfits that kind of thing you know how it is. So yeah we went to the clock tower just for a wee change and this was only a couple of hours ago so yeah because it was early I managed to you know pop it into the video and get this up for you today. So this is just a wee quick look at the menu they don't have the biggest menu in the world but what they do have is really nicely done there were a few things I was kind of torn between I said do I get the fish and chips I said no don't get the fish and chips so I had a burger so this is a double burger there's coleslaw and also chips on the side Mr. What's for tea had macaroni cheese and two the other two also had macaroni cheese and the other got a flat iron steak which you can just see the macaroni cheese in the background there and the other one had the flat iron steak but I didn't want to hover over their plates with my phone so that's what they had and this is just a quick look at the menu here and then we had dessert so this is what I had this is a lemon posset with a basil gel and meringue on the top and I wasn't very sure about this when I had one spoonful but it was lovely the more I get into you know it's quite unusual but it you know the basil and the lemon worked so well together Mr. What's for tea just had ice cream and the other two had sticky toffee pudding and a brownie and ice cream and it was all delicious so that was everything that we had this week so thank you so much for watching if you're still here and a huge thank you to the supporters of the channel over on my patreon page and to the channel members here on youtube as well for you all for watching leave in your lovely comments anyone who's thumbsed up the video or hyped the video anyone who's left me a super thanks donation or bought me a coffee using the buy me a coffee link and I will be back during the week back here on what's for tea so until you choose to join me again remember have a lovely rest of your day thanks for watching once again take care and bye for now bye now
