The before.
It's a gray and rainy day here, not that I'm complaining, we desperately need the rain, however, that did lend itself to the need for a warm and cozy meal.
What beats homemade mac and cheese? Not too much in my books, so I spent a bit of time in the kitchen today meal prepping.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

It's Saturday! And that means I get to cook a tasty meal to share with my folks (and Scott, who will complain about the spinach.... toddler).
Tonight's menu included stuffed pasta shells. I don't make them too often since the actual stuffing part of the prep is kind of a pain but they're a favourite of Mom & Dad and it has been a very long while since these have hit the dinner table.
Recipe for those who want to stuff shells. I don't really have a solid recipe.... this is more of a ... yeah, let's add that sort of thing for me so here's my best guess.
Ingredients:
Ricotta Cheese (1 container)
Mozzarella Cheese (maybe 1 cup in the mix, 1/2 of a cup to top)
Parmesan Cheese (maybe 1/3 of a cup)
Egg
Spinach (three handfuls...ish)
Dried Oregano (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Basil (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Parsley (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked, but still a bit firm)
Pasta sauce of your choice
How-to
1. Cook shells and strain, immediately rinse with cold water.
2. Heat up a frying pan and wilt the spinach. Cut in tiny pieces after cooking if you live with Scott or someone just as fickle. Tell him it's parsley (a family secret handed down by my Mother)
3. Mix dried spices, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and spinach together.
4. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour some pasta sauce in to coat the bottom of the dish
5. Stuff those shells! (I use a spoon, some people have recommended a piping bag... no matter what, I make a mess and end up using my hands) and place the stuffed shells in the casserole dish.
6. Top shells with more tasty sauce and sprinkle with extra cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
The shells keep well for a couple days in the fridge, but if you're going to want to keep them around a little longer, throw those leftovers in the freezer!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Grimm & I are trying to be healthier and reduce the stress in our lives by meal prepping on Sundays. Speaking of which...I better get to it!
Rice and lentils didn’t restrict me piersey.com/rice-lentils-fat-loss-routine/ they freed me. This post explains how eating simply gave me clarity, control, and comfort around food — and why I’m continuing with this approach.
Getting my photo done early with my breakfast prep. Today we had spinach, tomato and feta cheese omelettes with some of our farm fresh eggs! They were delicious!
To make sure I have something healthy to eat even with limited time, I make my chicken ahead of time so I can heat up a chicken thigh, cut up some lettuce and have a salad in 5 minutes.
Onboard delights & with a flight time of just over 30 minutes, this is serious fast food.

Lufthansa & apples havent been the sweetest of things lately.
Neither the one you can eat, nor the one you tag on your baggage have received good press on social media.
The real one, as part of the "tasting heimat " revamp has been much derided by frequent flies who have described the handing out of these apples after the main meal as a hygene issue. Then there's the Apple airtags, booming in sales recently with all the lost & delayed hold baggage, Lufthansa banning them from their flights because of bluetooth signals affecting aircraft communications.
Nevertheless, this one is....ready to eat.
Fish & chips on a ferry
Blue Star Ferries operating the twice daily Rosslare to Pembroke service on behalf of Irish Ferries, plenty on the menu but it had to be something fishy, like this cod & ships, I mean chips, with some healthy vegetables.
