What's for dinner?

[BlobbyTheLump]

I'm in a complete cooking funk. There's only so much you can do with a bit of mince and pack of chicken!

Doing the big food shop tomorrow so would love some meal ideas.

Tonight we're having take away so;

• Chicken Kebab with lots of salad
• Chips and Gravy
• Garlic pizza bread
• Onion rings

And DD is having sausage and chips.

What are you having for dinner?

Mustard and brown sugar toast silverside, champ and honey roast parsnip&carrots. And gravy of course!

Cheesy beans on toast here

Pork loin steaks cooked sweet and sour style with noodles

Sausages, mustard mash and onion gravy, then sweet cream cheese with apricot compote for pudding.

Full chicken dinner cos dp is working tomorrow

Chicken nachos, rice and dips selection.

Jacket potato with roasted veggies and a creamy cashew nut sauce, with a big pile of salad and coleslaw on the side.

And our meal plan for the next few days is:
Sunday: chips and curry sauce, maybe sausages too if I can be bothered.
Monday: shepherd's pie
Tuesday: chickpea dal with homemade garlic naan breads.

Shameless place marking.dp is threatening shepherd's pie

My oven broke this morning so our chicken roast is out the window! Can you grill potato smileys? I’m at a loss😂 My stomach envious of everyone else’s dinners they sound delicious

Just me here tonight, so am being self indulgent and having a duck breast with cherry sauce, roast potatoes and parsnips, garlicky courgettes and broccoli. If I have room, there's a pot of chocolate custard in the fridge for afters :)

Take away probably Chinese but a chicken kebab sounds lovely.

Kids- tomato soup with cheese sandwich for dipping
Dp- left over noodles
Me- marmite and crisp sandwich

Such lovely food ideas here.

I'm stuck in such a rut I tend to cycle out;

• Spaghetti Bolognese
• Chilli Con Carne
• Pasta with tomato sauce
• Fajitas/Tacos
• Chicken Curry
• Roast
• Braised Steak/Chicken Casserole

So boring and monotonous. I now hate cooking and thinking of what to make for dinner, it's become such a chore, which is a shame because I loved cooking!

I also have fussy DD to cater for and getting her to eat is a battle.
Mealtimes piss me off at the minute!

Homemade curried parsnip soup that I made from a bag of parsnips this morning.

Piece of toast and some cheese. Perfect t for cold winter night in and I had a proper lunch with friends.

It is all so dull the thinking and cooking of midweek dinners i swap bolognase for shepherds pie some weeks just for excitment

Bangers and mash from Tesco

Beef, mushroom and root veg stew with dumplings

Jacket potatoes, sausages and beans

Full English without the sausages because dp didnt take them out the freezer to defrost

Homemade chinese chicken curry, with onions, broccoli & mushrooms in there. Yum!

Chinese belly pork (homemade and takes over an hour so a weekend dish for us) rice, spring onions and stir-fry vegetables. The pork sauce is made with ginger, garlic, rice wine, dark soy, light soy, light brown sugar, bay leaf, cinnamon and balsamic. I don't have the quantities, I just brown the pork and chuck everything in and leave with a lid on to simmer for an hour.

I had a great big lovely pork chop, chips & beans. I got 6 chops reduced in Sainsbury's to 79p per pack of 2. 1 down 5 more still to look forward to.

Camembert to start, then mussels. Lots of bread but it's cold and I'm alright with that today! It's cooking now, I can't wait.

Sausage and mash, mash made with wholegrain mustard, cheese, milk, butter.... 🐷
