What's for dinner?

[GirlFliesHome]

I an ill and need inspiration.

I need something child-friendly.

DSD is here and she is vegetarian but happy to cook for herself. I'd like to cook for her thought.

Just need something comforting and nourishing.

What is everybody having?

I’m sat eating vegetable curry, it’s delicious.

I just fry onion in garlic and ginger paste until soft, then add chopped up seeet potato, peppers and cauliflower. Then add a few dollops of pataks korma paste + 1 tin of coconut milk and simmer until the potato is soft.

We’re having roast gammon and cauli/broccoli/kale in a cheese sauce.

Leftovers will be going in a pie with chicken and mushroom tomorrow night. It’s a comfort food weekend!

Oh I could do a roast chicken with loads and loads of veg for the Veggies. Plus stuffing in a separate pan so no chicken juice on it.

Hmmmm.

It's easy at least and I am just hobbling from couch to kitchen. (I have an infection)

Chilli con carne or a giant yorkshire pudding with meat, potatoes , veg and gravy inside it.

Think I’mgoing to make a big quirk sausage casserole

*quorn

Making pizzas with DD(6)

Chicken fajitas in our house tonight. Easy to make veggie though, just more veg instead of the chicken.
DS is 15mo and looooooves them.

Horrace I like the sound of your veggie curry recipe. May give that a go!

What toppings DEar? My fave is spinach and egg

One pot spaghetti and meatballs...literally takes 20 minutes and minimal effort which is what I need today.

I was thinking fajitas earlier... and mixing up rice with kidney beans as the stuffing. Nourishing and tasty.

We’re doing chicken, bacon and mushroom pasta with a side salad. Not super veggie friendly I’m afraid

Iv got a gammon joint in the slow cooker and will do fried eggs (beans for the kids as they dont like eggs) and chips

But super easy to adapt to veggie Dolly!

Loving these suggestions. Currently taken by sausage casserole with quorn sausges......

I home alone tonight, having an chicken thing from M&S and skinny fries.

Sausage casserole in the slow cooker 👍

Ottolenghi vegetable paella - I'll probably put chorizo in there too as we are not veggie. Got a olive bread ciabatta to go with it which is actually the only part of the meal my DC are likely to eat

Cajun Chicken Pasta Bake 😊

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great OP! maybe a nice vegetarian bolognese would go down well with everyone? You can make it super simple and use a jar sauce with some quorn or you could make the sauce yourself :)

Bit of feast here at Chez Wally. We have friends coming over and have promised a curry night. I am maing chicken dansak, Red lentil daal, sag aloo, onion bhaji, poppadoms with homemade tomato chutney, mango chutney, raita, naan breads and rice. With treacle tart and an Indian rice pudding with coconut and pistachio to follow. I may have over-catered

I'm cooking veggie chilli with Quorn mince in the slow cooker. Just for me and dp today so medium spicy but can be made mild for kids.

Good old beef stew. No particular recipe just chucked in whatever veg I had and stuck it in the oven

Dh and I are having burgers in buns with cheddar cheese, red and white onion (raw for me, cooked for him) and proper Irish butter, and chips later when ds is in bed. One of my fave meals, especially when dh makes it.
Can't wait. He was off today so he had a well deserved lie in this morning, and we've had a lovely family afternoon. Looking forward to a lovely evening too.

We are having toad in the hole with vegetarian sausages, mash and peas. Not too much effort, vegetarian and child-friendly (my kids love it anyway)
