This little bundle of meal inspiration has some classics, some family favorites, and a bunch of new foods. We have been looking for more quick foods that don’t take too long to cook. Ours have been very busy with extra activities and lots of general fun, so these meals have been throw-together and quick, to sort of round out the winter! I am very excited for the holidays coming up, so that everyone can have a go at helping to cook.
[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I love going out for a bite to eat! As an American living in England, I was pretty excited to try out Marco’s New York Italian, at their London Bridge location. Using their gift voucher for a meal for two, we had a bit of a set dinner, with a starter, main and dessert, along with a glass of prosecco included. Booking for the voucher was easily done on our website, and we did not need to show the voucher at the time we arrived either.
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.

Dann is a huge fan of Christmas Markets and I am a huge fan of themed-limited time events. So when Dann said “hey, do you want to go to the Frankfurt Christmas Market Birmingham this evening”, despite living about 3 hours away, I was well up for the adventure! We’ve been to Christmas Markets before, but hadn’t made it to this specific market, which states that it’s very German inspired.

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.
