Inspire me! What are your DC having for dinner tonight?

[BloodyForeigner]

What are your DC having for dinner tonight (and you, obviously, if you’re eating together)? Looking for inspiration / ideas. Fed up of same old stuff and for once actually have time to cook something that takes longer than 5 mins.

Fish pie

Curry for all of us here

Weaning with a 7 month old here. Made lentil and spinach daal from cooking on a bootstrap. He wasn't keen but we will be having it later for tea.

Chicken noodle soup. It's delicious and so easy to make.

Not very inspiring but sticky sausages in crusty baguettes with roasted wedges, onions and peppers

H took the children out for lunch where apparently they had a full English breakfast. So for dinner they’re having a sandwich, chopped veg and fruit. I’m having a chicken wrap as I can’t be bothered to cook and H can make himself toast or a sandwich

Something beige from the freezer. Bite me.

Just me and DD, now 12 but I never did separate food, very small lamb joint (other half is now in the freezer) with garlic and rosemary, roast potatoes (total roast time 60 mins all in together), packet of three baby veg. As it is Friday I have made raspberry jelly and Delia’s dark chocolate mouse and we will have both during the course of the evening .

Pork with prunes. Not sure how well the prunes will be received but they can be picked out. With spuds, purple sprouting broccoli and spinach.

Toad in the hole. Aunt Bessie's finest. DD won't eat my homemade version because it's just not as good as aunt Bessie's. We'll have carrots and broccoli on the plate as well, but I suspect she won't bother with the veg.

DD (3) has had sausage, jacket potato and peas. She is in a super picky phase (oh god, please let it be a phase!) and I didn't fancy a battle.

Tuna pasta

Chilli meatballs in a tomato and kale sauce. With pasta and garlic toast.

Veg pizza from the supermarket fresh pizza counter with salad (DC will probably eat minimal salad things), olives, coleslaw. Then DC2's birthday cake.

Sweet potato burger in a bun with cheese, with raw carrots, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers on the side.

Other things they've had this week;

Macaroni cheese with peas and sweet corn
Roasted salmon, carrots and potatoes and peas
Chicken fried rice with peas, peppers and mushrooms
Spinach and ricotta cannelloni in tomato sauce

Other favourites:

Lamb and veg stew with cheesy orzo
Fish pie and baked beans
Sausage and root veg tray bake
Asian style chicken thighs and rice
Omelettes

We went out for lunch so ds is just having Mr Tumble tinned pasta and sausages . His lunch was healthy so I don’t feel too bad.

Dh is out for the evening so I’m just going to have some Thai chicken soup (bought, not homemade). V lazy evening here tonight.

We’re having lamb tagine with cous cous and labneh tonight. It’s been cooking all day, the house smell amazing!

Beans on toast with grated cheese. She got fed a proper meal at lunch though.

Chuck it all in salad.
Basically anything in the fridge that can go into a bowl, it has lettuce, toms, cucumber, beetroot, olives, grated cheddar, cubed blue cheese, ham, pickled chillies.
I'll chuck garlic bread from the freezer in the oven to go with it.

Home made burgers and chips.

Tomato soup with hot crusty rolls.

Other dinners this week:
Risotto
Fish cakes with corn in the cob
Puff pastry pizza
Pesto pasta

Honey chilli pork stir fry with rice because none of them will eat noodles. Littlest is teething molars so screamed at hers until I took it away. Middle two ate their chicken and peppers. Biggest ate the lot.

Something beige from the freezer

That's my plan for tomorrow, McCain Tapas

Pasta and broccoli in a tomatoey/garlicky/mushroom sauce with corn on the cob, cucumber and cherry toms on the side
Yoghurts and a flapjack afterwards

Dominos. Friday is treat night.

Sunday will be a roast dinner for lunch with sandwiches for dinner. Monday is beef and broccoli stir fry with black pepper and garlic using the leftover meat from Sunday lunch. Monday is cheesy pasta. Tuesday is freezer surprise again and Wednesday will be chippy or pizza.
