What’s for dinner tonight?

[SandunesAndRainclouds]

I really need some inspiration! Family of 6, happy to cook from scratch or slow cook, something that needs to stay in the oven while I do a 5pm school trip pick up.

We’ve already had jacket potatoes with chicken in sauce, a quick pizza / salad meal and fish this week.

What are you having?

I know this is a bit boring and my post isn’t going to win the internet today

I am having pizza, salad & wine.

OH is having curry, I don't fancy curry 😁

Slow cooked garlic and chilli Bolognese.

Just need to boil pasta later and all sorted.

Just thrown everything in the slow cooker for beef stew. Lazy day

Macaroni cheese with lots of veg and salad.
Birthday cake and wine!

Dhal, poppadoms, pickles and salad

Fish finger sandwiches, with white bead and lashings of butter. The lite version, obvs.

Mmmm fish finger sandwiches

Cheeky chicken fried rice Joe Wicks recipe about 25 mins inc prep

Lamb chops with carrots, cauliflower and peas

A small bowl of soup. Ill and not eaten for a week and feeling up to food for the first time.
I'm not a large lady and have lost near a stone in 10 days

Cauliflower cheese (with added brocoli, leeks and 3 types of cheese!) and veggie sausages.

Roast cauliflower tacos

Tomato and mascarpone pasta, veg and garlic bread 🤤

Probably a bit late now but beef bourginion with garlic bread (I know but the four year old insisted!)
Home made warm banana cake with melted galaxy chocolate on it.
Lots of red wine it's been a sod of a week.

Chinese! Unfortunately not takeaway but cooked by DH so I'm on the sofa with a bottle of prosecco!

I’ve just ordered a Chinese.

It’s been a tough week - I’ve interviewed for a promotion, DH is away next week and we’re both just shattered.

DD - chicken fried rice
DH - curry and naan bread
Me - corned beef hash

We are getting rid of all the stuff that's in the freezer. I do a lot of batch cooking and freeze it all as individual meals so we can all have something different if we feel it.

I currently can't have curry because it will stain my brace but I really want it. We have a shelf in the freezer dedicated to curry and I can't wait to get this brace off to have some!

Fish and chips from the chippy tonight

Just pondering when to go and get it.

Salmon and sweet potatoe, veg over here with a nice glass of vino

It’s International Womens Day. Why are you cooking? We’re going out for supper with friends and the men are paying.

Homemade burgers with halloumi and mushroom toppings. And wine. Yummy!

Was supposed to be spicy prawn linguine but my sister who is coming over said she doesn't fancy it- gee thanks. It will probably end up being a takeaway of some sort. Would prefer a homecooked meal though (not like me at all)!

Well, everyone’s dinner was much nicer than mine.

International Women’s day means very little in my house, it’s just another ordinary day doing what I always do.

I know I’m late on this but my favourite dinner for ease and convenience is some variation on a chicken traybake.

Parboil big chunks of potato (I leave the skins on). Let them cool slightly.

Chicken drumsticks and thighs
Potatoes
Onions chopped into medium size wedges
Tomatoes, halved
Peppers chopped into biggish pieces
Courgette cut into fairly thick rounds
A wedge or two of lemon
Several smashed cloves of garlic
Thyme and/or rosemary
Plenty of olive oil, salt and pepper

Roast at 180 (fan oven) for 40-45 min.

So delicious and you can change up the veg selection to suit you.

We're having steak with onions and mushrooms in thick gravy, with creamy buttery mash, carrots and green beans. I might also do some Yorkshire puds.
