Menu plan – 2 November 2021

Happy Tuesday! The day I do a spot of “plan and play”. Plan our week’s menu and plan a little bit of fun for the future! Last week I met up with my friend Susanne for a cup of tea in one of Copenhagen’s cafés. Nice to catch up with her and chat about work, family and Dressing Your Truth! (Susanne is a type 4/1 and I’m a 1/4!)

With Susanne, right in the centre of our beautiful city

But, without further ado, here’s what’s on the menu this week at Casa Copenhagen!

roast lamb with roast potatoes (all done in the oven together) and stir-fried veggies
I’m out to dinner one night this week with my good friend, Anne-Marie, and we’ll be having cocktails and Italian food, woo hoo! (I planned this a couple of Tuesdays ago, on “plan and play” day…)
Swedish cheese pie Västerbottenpaj (we had it a few weeks back, I froze half to eat later) served warm with smoked salmon, dill, crème fraîche, chopped red onion and Danish caviar (lump-fish roe). The Swedish Västerbotten cheese is quite similar in flavour to parmesan (you can read about the cheese here)

potato gnocchi with in a creamy garlic, mushroom, spinach and bacon sauce, lots of parmesan on top
smoked haddock fillets cooked in milk/cream and light curry, and served with baby potatoes and carrots
as was the case before both of our kids moved out into their own flats, one day of the week for us is usually leftovers, a frittata/quiche made with any veggies which need using up, risotto or Danish smørrebrød (rye bread open sandwiches with various toppings) or the very occasional takeaway
and at this time of the year, comfort food is always welcome! Have you ever tried Burning Love?! Brændende Kærlighed – a Danish classic…

Remember to K.I.S.S. – Keep it simple, Sweetie! And remember when you’re planning your menu this week to plan a little bit of fun for yourself and your family!
