#BadPicsOfFood OK, even I'm not sure what to make of this... erm... monstrosity.

A breaded southern air fried chicken steak, in a sourdough sandwich with extra mature cheddar, pepperoni and BBQ sauce... with a pile of jersey royals on the side.

If you can think of an interesting name for this... please put answers on a postcode to ......

#BadPicsOfFood and some scenery for you today.

It's my mums birthday in a few days, so we went and had a mooch around Menai for an hour and then lunch at a pub next to the suspension bridge.

Three cheese & onion pie, chips, mushy peas and and cheese and chive sauce. I've had it before and it's lovely, my sister had heard us talk about it, so had the same.

Then stopped at a a point overlooking the bridge on the way back out for the obligatory photo op.

#BadPicsOfFood time again... another chicken and bacon pasta bake with garlic, herb & mozzarella flatbread.

Made enough to do about 6 portions because I like batch cooking, and for those who didn't know... reheating pasta actually lowers it's calorie count by about 10%.

Something to do with the starch & carbs ... nuke it in the microwave and it's a bit lower... Don;t fully understand the science behind, just remember reading a study on it about 8yrs ago.

Of course... adding the flatbread, kinda screws that up. 🤔 😆

I semi cheat with this too... cook of some diced chicken and bacon in some butter (300g chicken, 200g bacon). Add a jar of pasta bake sauce and let it start to simmer, add a tub of mascapone and about 100g mozzarella. Stir until thoroughly mixed together, put in some tomoato puree to get it back to a tomato taste (all that cheese nullifies it).

Meanwhile, cook up your pasta... I do about 600g because that's enough to do 5-6 portions.

Drain the pasta, place in a large oven dish... or several smaller ones... you do you. Pour over the sauce and mix thoroughly. Add another 100g mozzarella on top. Bake in the ove for about 20-25 mins until nice and crispy on top.

Meanwhile pop the flatbread under the grill to cook up.

Serve an approprite size portion and slice up the flatbread,

Then just #NomNomNom
