This week is a mix of big meals, complex meals, and more simple meals! We had some chaos, some simple meals that the little ones could help with, and some that just gave me a bit of a break from cooking big meals. Hopefully this gives you some inspiration for your own menu creation for the week!
Whenever there is a new Asian food place opening near us, we do take the time to visit! Mowchi opened a location in Lakeside, so we went on opening day, to try as much of the menu as we possibly could. Mowchi doesn’t have a huge menu, there are two types of fries and a handful of different bao. The bao itself falls under two types; regular bao buns and bao-gers, which are like huge bao buns on large burgers. We tried one of each food, and each got a tea.

[Ad- gifted experience] Robin and I went along to the Grinchmas Bus to check out The Grinch: Christmas Adventures, the video game, in style. The Grinchmas Bus Afternoon Tea experience is one that is ideal for those who love The Grinch or video games, and want to do something quite unique this holiday season! Though the Grinch himself isn’t onboard, this is an experiencer that really highlights the magic of the season.

This week we have a bunch of new recipes, some not so new recipes, and some recipes that would be better if we tried them again with what we know! I really enjoyed the first one on this list, and want to have it again after being reminded of it here. We’ve also got some super easy recipes on this list too, for a quick midweek meal break. Hopefully you find some inspiration for your meals this week!

Dann and I are a big fan of food and love trying out new places to eat! As an American, American style BBQ is something that brings comfort to me. As it turns out, Two Greedy Pigs has opened – an American BBQ joint that primarily caters to takeaway, providing a menu of BBQ items and classic American favorites. It’s worth noting that the website itself is not very up-to-date with the food that you can get there, so it’s worth checking out the venue and ordering based on the signage, or you might miss some really lovely gems.
Two Greedy Pigs does have some covered seating, but isn’t a sit-down restaurant. You need to order at the window, though if you do eat in, you will be brought out your food and can eat at the tables provided. At this time of the year, due to them being so new, there isn’t heating in this area, so we opted to takeaway our food and eat it in the warmth of either our car or our home, if we could wait that long! The seated area is well decorated and feels like a family BBQ, so I am excited to use it during the summertime. The food when presented to those eating in was very well plated, so do keep that in mind as we got takeaway boxes.
