Seriously lacking in a) inspiration and b) motivation.

BBQ? Salad? Pizza oven?

What are your Sunday dinner plans?

I really fancy a roast from the pub. But can't afford it this week.
So, am going down the mezze plate route.
Tuna, sweetcorn, cucumber, carrots, feta, hummus, beetroot, olives, spring onions, peppers, pitta. I'll probably be grazing on that like a fresian cow all day!
It's fantastic weather for a BBQ though if you've got one? 😄

Spaghetti bolognaise with salad and garlic bread.

Prawn pad thai, I prefer something spicier but DH and ds like it and I make it from scratch so I'm not doing that for two different stir fries, I'll just add sambal to mine

Tomorrow will be our first BBQ of the year and the meat has already been sous vided, so it will mean giving the meat a bit of char tomorrow and Bob’s your uncle.

We had a roast chicken dinner. Not sure what we're having for tea yet.

BurntToACinder · 19/05/2024 14:28

Cheeseburger and fries

Benvolio · 19/05/2024 14:25

Pork belly slices I plan to shove in oven with a sprinkle of dried chili, fennel seeds, olive oil and celery. Roast slowly. Eaten with red cabbage salad, nice acidic dressing. First asparagus this year, either before or with.

Pesto Chicken with tagliatelle and Pavlova (I made curd and have a ton of egg whites over).

Cold roast chicken, potato salad, leftover quiche, cheeses, coleslaw, lettuce, tomatoes and crusty baguette.

Yep. The Picky Tea.

I have pretty much had that for lunch

@NeverEnoughPants next time I'll be sure to send you an invite!

Homemade curried cauliflower soup with onion bhaji paninis. Although the soup tastes strange and I'm wondering if there was something off about the cauliflower 🥴 it was rather green when I was chopping it up!

IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine · 19/05/2024 13:53

Sweet potato thai curry, from the Green Roasting Tin cook book.

Deadringer · 19/05/2024 13:49

BBQ, and I am not lifting a finger. Bliss

I've got some leftover bolognaise in the fridge. I'm going to turn it into lasagne.

TheDumpling · 19/05/2024 13:22

For todays dinner I've got a pack of Walls Mini Savoury Eggs, with Hellman's Garlic Mayo and a box of McCain Quick Chips washed down with a bottle of Inch's Cider!

gingercat02 · 19/05/2024 13:19

It's cold and grey here. I'm considering lasagne

Decafflatteplease · 19/05/2024 13:02

Slow cooker lasagna here, about to put it on now

SpringLobelia · 19/05/2024 13:01
