This is a LOT of work and it’s probably really best that you make your own lasagna noodles for best results too so it’s just work on work on work but you get something that is basically made for instagram and slightly worse than regular noodles and cheese lasagna. It’s hard to improve on a classic I suppose but it’s still really good if you’re okay with the work.
I think I did really good with the main dishes this week but I always just kind of fall back on fruit and vegetables for side dishes. Nothing wrong with that I suppose but I worry that it’s boring.
I’m going to not one but TWO outdoor shindigs this weekend which really makes you realize that once the sun comes out in Estonia everyone just flocks to the outside world. Next week I’m supposed to have a nice beach picnic as well, when it rains it pours (though I hope it doesn’t rain).

Keeping up lunches this year has been much harder even though I obviously keep making them. At least some of the break this time can be attributed to the fact I was out of the country for three weeks.
I’m trying to catch up with editing the 15 recipes I have pending so there’s no lack of content but for whatever reason editing recipes is a very droning task for me so I end up taking a lot “breaks” where I also end up writing on watching YouTube videos. Well, at least menus aren’t too bad (this only took me 20 minutes to make and about 5 to post!)

These are really delicious and you can speed up the whole process if you use store brought stock or just make a really big batch and freeze the kreplach dumplings separate from the soup. I do have to admit this is a chore to make all at once and takes a LONG time to come together but it’s worth it for special people or a special occasion.
This is a super simple curry made from plenty of vegetables so that it is really filling. It’s a really dry curry so it’s especially good with some nice chewy bread or even yogurt as a side but it doesn’t end up with a gravy so there’s nothing to sop up. This would work really well as a filling for dumplings / stuffed breads.
This is the last week before we take two weeks in Germany so it’s kind of a weird menu because I’m trying not to buy too many things or leave anything around to rot. Unfortunately that makes it a little low on the nutrition scale also but hopefully it’s not too awful.

The weather has been absolutely amazing for the past few days and so it looks like spring has finally sprung which is really great except of course, we’re going out of the country again for vacation soon so maybe we won’t get to enjoy it properly? I don’t know, either way this weeks menu is here and that’s what really matters anyway!
