what's for dinner?

[BahMooQuack]

We are having takeaway of some sort as after several days of no-one eating my food I told DH I would slit my wrists if i had to cook for the rest of the week.

Probably Indian for DH and I (a lamb something for me) and fish and chips for the Dcs. Very useful having both those shops next to each other.

Pasty and chips. It's one of those rushed days and I really fancied a pasty.

Dover sole baked with lemon, then apricot tart.

Noodles, broccoli, green beans, yellow pepper, leftover roast chicken. I will add stir fry sauce to mine. The children will eat food devoid of flavour, as usual.

Burnt aubergine chilli.

Pie, mash and veg... Mid-numbingly boring in my opinion and would much rather a takeaway but we're trying to only have one a month

Homemade salt & pepper chicken with whole grain rice and prawn crackers

If the cat ever gets off my lap, shepherd's pie, with carrots, asparagus and beans.

If not, pizza.

Dover sole baked with lemon, then apricot tart. wine wine

That sounds right posh! Special night?

Sausages (heck pork sausage) cauliflower and Swede mash, broccoli and asparagus (DD wanted asparagus, I was just going to do broccoli)
Gluten free and low carb (DS2 is coeliac)

it does sound good. Like the french cooking blogs I read!

Falafel and tabboleh with meringues for dessert-all vegan as we are fasting now for lent :)

Fish cake and waffles

In my defence, I am in a rush!

I made a lentil, spinach and coconut dhal yesterday, and served it with naan breads. Didn't taste like much, nobody enjoyed it, and there's about 400 portions left so we are having it for tea again tonight

avyasili Vegan meringues? How? It's not that crazy chickpea trick is it?

Pasta bar for the kids (I have 5 extra so needed something easy).

Corgette stuffed chicken for me and DH.

Mushroom risotto. I've got white wine open so some for the risotto and some for me!

Chicken thigh and chorizo casserole with carrots and broccoli as sides, I'm trying very hard to not automatically have mashed potatoes as a side to everything. Its years and years of meat and two veg dinners. (no convenience foods or easy quick dinners in my childhood) yesterday, as I dished out mashed potatoes with cabbage and broccoli with breaded cod and cheese sauce, I realised that every dinner for the last two weeks was mashed potatoe heavy :( lots of tomato and peppers in casserole, hoping I dont miss the mash.

Replace mash with swede/turnip and carrot that's what I do if I fancy a change

Or roast baby potatoes I know how easy it is to fall into the mash trap

I have been having a bit of cous cous lately because I wanted to get out the of the mash rut.

Macaroni cheese with leeks for me and my husband. Pesto with macaroni for the boy who refuses to eat melty cheese.

We are having a takeaway later, not sure what yet. Not sure what ds will have, about to ask him now (didn't realise it's already 5..)

Cheese burger, chunky wedges and Slaw (because you know cole is off duty today!)

Doesn't pesto have cheese in it ? Or does he not mind/know that cos it isn't melty
