In this warm balmy weather I need some inspiration!

Tonight we are having roast chicken, salad and pitta breads with coleslaw and cous cous.

I have made a jelly with red berries in it for pud.

How about you?

We are having chilli con carne. Made with the leftovers of a roasting joint of beef that we did on the bbq-it was bloody delicious and I'm hoping the smokey taste will enhance the chilli.

Chicken kiev with chips and a salad

Strawberries

DS had chicken and pasta with green beans

I am really struggling for inspiration now it's warm. DH and I would normally have lots of things marinated and grilled with new pots and salad, but none of the marinades are really suitable for DS (11 mo).
I had forgetten about couscous and roasted veg. DS would like that and I could just grill him some plain chicken.
