I'm looking to find out what everyone makes for dinner on a weekly basis? I'm just looking for some inspiration :) x

Are you Northern? dinner (how I mean it!) is the mid day meal in our house- ds and I usually have the same thing and eat together so I have to like it too. We have; beans/cheese/scrambled eggs/poached eggs/tinned mackrel on toast, sandwiches, soup (lots of soup!), hummus with various stuff to dip in it, noodles with veg,wraps with left overs in, pizza...easy stuff.

For tea (evening meal) this week we're having, sweet potato, chorizo and halloumi bake, stir fry, roast chicken with harissa and veg, chorizo and savoy cabbage pasta and hairy bikers sausage and bean stew.

DS (21 months) has fish pies, shepherds pies, butternut squash canelloni, lasagne...things like that. I batch cook his food and defrost it in portions.

Tacos
Fahitas
Steak and wedges
Fish, pots and peas
Not sure of the name but you cook a joint from frozen on avery low heat for about 8hrs (until it holds 67degrees) and we have potato gratin with it.
Roast (chicken normally for us) with road veg and pots

Anything from the slow cooker such as stew or chilli etc

Anything that can be made in a big pot or the huge oven tray such as a pasta bake, a curry or bolognese

Anything out of a tin such as beans and sausage, spaghetti letters or ravioli

One of those meal kits such as the one-pan rice kit, tacos, or those reggae reggae kits - if we get the family-sized boxes they do enough for 2 nights. I make my own spice mix for quesadillas, fajitas and enchiladas which is cheaper and cuts down on the salt

Anything I can just sling in the oven such as a jacket spud, fish (from fish fingers and fish cakes to proper fillets of fish in sauce), pizza (either shop-bought or home-made) or even [shh, whisper] a ready meal such as fish pie, cottage pie, lasagna or pasta bol

I can and do cook but I hate it so don't bother trying to make anything fancy on a weeknight - so long as it's food and has something resembling a vegetable and something else protein-like in it, it'll do
