I’ve come back from holiday and lost my mojo. Trying to get ahead and plan for the week and running out of inspiration. I like cooking from scratch - this week I’ve made slow cooker lamb ragu, beef and lentil curry. But I seem to be leaning towards red meat a lot and trying to break that habit so looking for inspiration!
