We had Miss 6’s big birthday bash yesterday here at home. It was a great day all the kids had an absolute ball. I nearly thought I had to entertain 22 kids indoors as it was raining all morning, but by 3pm the sun was shining and the pool party was a great success! Now all my kids birthday’s are over for the year. 3 birthday’s all within 2 weeks…sheesh, lol:)

Monday – Chicken Bolognese – new family favourite – recipe below
Tuesday – Apricot Chicken with potato and vegetables
Wednesday – Mince Pasta Bake
Thursday – Spinach and Feta Pie with salad
Friday – Beef Stir fry
Saturday – something easy been a big day

Katrina i can’t get the recipe for the apricot chicken… keeps taking me to page not found.
Biscuits sound fantastic, planning on whipping up a batch for the kids lunches tomorrow.
Hi Leila, I have fixed up the link…sorry. I used chicken breast instead of thigh fillets, the kids loved it.
Thanks for the chicken bolognese recipe – I didn't close the freezer properly last night and the chicken mince was half defrosted so this recipe was perfect timing 🙂
Lou
Great timing I hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks Katrina 🙂 i tend to use thigh mainly but have just found a new butcher who does bulk meats cheaper so i have a few kilos of breast meat (why not when i can buy it for $7 a kilo, min 3kg buy, instead of $10-$13 depending on the week)
Now to work out what to feed hubby while i make apricot chicken for kids and I.
Biscuits haven't been made yet, my 10 year old son wants to make them this afternoon 🙂
We love apricot chicken. But I like to use Dutch curry and Rice soup mix instead of French Onion. Give it a go, it’s not spicy at all, just a more robust flavour and the sauce thickens more too
Just a variation on the apricot chicken recipe…
You can omit the oil, and put the chicken, apricot nectar and soup mix into a microwave proof dish that has a lid. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, stir the mix; if the chicken isn’t ready, microwave for a further 5 mins.
