I need inspiration. Eat meat and fish. Not great at eating a wide variety of veg (bad, i know) will likely have to go to the shop as not a lot in. Would like a big fat greasy takeaway but have neither the waistline or the funds.

Not particularly hungry and CBA cooking so had a tin of soup. It was a bit blah.

Might join you in a tin of soup - I was going to have jacket potatoes with cheese and baked beans but all the baked beans have disappeared!

So yeah looks like tinned tomato, chickpea and aubergine soup with cheese on toast. Not ideal but it'll fill me up.

For dinner we are having M&S chicken ham and leek pie, jersey royal potatoes, steamed green beans and organic baby sweetcorn.

Spice tailor kerala curry (made with paneer in place of the chicken) with naan, peas, carrots and broccoli. It's nicer than a take away!

Chicken schnitzel, sweet corn, green beans, and some leftover new potatoes which I'm going to reheat by frying in butter with a little oil then add some chopped chives and parsley from my garden.

Husband is poaching chicken breasts. Final dish will be a creamy sauce made with creme fraiche, shallots, garlic, peas chicken and pasta. It's always tasty.

I don’t think I’ve ever had poached chicken before. Is it nice?

Chicken Jambalaya with pitta breads.

Oooo we're having a splash out full English for dinner tonight. Not the usual style for us at all but we both just really fancied it.
Sausage, bacon, eggs, black pudding, tomato, beans, mushrooms, hash browns and fried bread 🤣
We've both been eating and exercising really well recently so we're having a little splurge
Normally noodles/stir fry/ramen or salmon and veg/chicken and veg

Fried egg waffle sandwich

devildeepbluesea · 23/07/2025 18:26

In the middle of linguine with prawns, capers, lemon and chilli. It’s nice.

TaborlinTheGreat · 23/07/2025 18:24

I made Chicken Satay but I tried doing it differently from the usual recipe to simplify it and it ended up being both too salty and too sour!

JoWawa · 23/07/2025 18:21

Tea

JengaNonConfirming · 23/07/2025 18:21

We're having sweetcorn fritters, topped with bacon, halloumi, poached egg and salsa 😋

Salad :Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber
Roast chicken, pine nuts, cooked beetroot and dressing. Just back from holiday and craving healthy food.
Rest of family had shop bought quiche, roast potatoes with garlic and rosemary (par boiled then airfried) and salad.

Courgette pasta as the veg box was delivered today and we always have some sort of veg with pasta that day.

PollyCherry · 23/07/2025 18:16

Ooh cheese on toast sounds ideal. No bread until Asda man gets here though
