Chicken kiev (shop bought), mini roasties and cabbage/leeks and peas. Easy and there will not be a scrap of waste. Well, maybe a bit of cabbage on the kids' plates ......

Hardly inspiring. Naice sausages, chips made in my actifry, baked beans (probably the posh ones with all different beans in if we still have some), mushrooms (for me, no one else likes them on their own) and cherry tomatoes (for DS1, who likes neither mushrooms nor baked beans)

I'm hormonal, achy and clumsy and not up to anything more challenging.

DH/DS2 are having vegetable bake. I haven't been doing a very good job of using the veg in my veg box, so tonight is potatoes, cauliflower, onions, peppers and carrots, in a cheese sauce, baked until the top is golden.

I'm low carbing, so that's out for me. Instead, I'm having roast breast of lamb, with a green salad.

Ooooh I really wish I could make spicy noodle soup. Asian soups are an area of cooking that I'm sadly lacking in ... I just fear anything I attempted would turn out downright nasty!

Leftover cheese sauce with brocolli, cauliflower and peas with pasta for kids. Plus some dough balls.
Leftover pork for me and DH with peppers, onion and mushroom and spicy tomato sauce with rice.

Curly kale and potato mash with sausages. Good oldfashioned Dutch winter food. I've been freezing my tits off all day so I want something warm and filling and comforting.
