What’s for dinner?

[YDYtrue]

Looking forward to some interesting store cupboard creations!

Ours is nachos with pulled pork on top with Mexican spiced (probably completely inauthentic) rice. Pork and rice both from previous meals and out of the freezer, will add a tin of sweetcorn and maybe kidney beans depending on whether it looks enough (large family)

Crisps and dips bought this week as they were pretty much the only aisles that still contained food.

Carb heavy but I don’t care, I’ve had to cancel my wedding 😭

Found some elderly risotto rice in the back of the cupboard so had fennel risotto with an oldish bulb.

Flat bread with roast, seasoned Mediterranean veg with a roast egg in the middle and topped with blue and cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce.

Roasted salmon fillets from the freezer, peas and potato wedges.

Sweet potato curry with rice and spinach.

Roast chicken , roast potatoes, broccoli and carrots tonight , last night we had chicken korma - there’s a chance I’m going to start looking like a chicken , this is what happens when someone else is doing your shopping . This week I’m doing a list !

Sweet potato, tuna, pepper and chilli fishcakes with a salad of lettuce, red onion, peppers, celery and sweetcorn.

Chicken, onion, yellow pepper fajitas with cheese in and rice 😋

Pork belly - loosely based on hairy bikers Calabrian pork ribs recipe. Super cheap. Served with Calabrian potato and peppers - basically sautéed onion, pepper and sliced potato, bit of water and juice from the pork. Yum, easy and cheap.

Haggis, neeps and tatties here tonight

Last night was a Thai chicken curry

Have waaay more time to spend cooking these days funnily enough!

DD was supposed to be in Spain for a school trip, so instead we're bringing Spain to her - paella for dinner, was going to be churros for pudding, but we ran out of time, will do tomorrow instead.

Mushroom risotto

chicken and peppers in black bean sauce, stirfried broccoli and peanuts, rice.

I've become really great at calculating the exact amounts we need for dinner plus second helpings. I was very easy about this before- not anymore.

Chicken curry tonight and after reading someone had a Thai curry I'm having that tomorrow.

I did loads of batch cooking a couple
Of weeks ago.

We had posh fish cakes with oven chips and peas.Doing roast chicken,mash,yorkshires and veg tomorrow

I'm finding the local shops, delis, farm shops and global food stores more well stocked so we've switched to buying food from there.

Cumberland sausages with caramalised red onion and mushroom gravy, mash, turniip and peas.

I'm using the fajita and rice leftovers from yesterday to make chicken fried rice tonight.

Roast chicken with colcannon and Yorkshire puds. I have a sad looking cabbage in the fridge so colcannon is the best way to jazz it up.

Lentil dhal with spinach and sweet potato curry.

Think I'm going to make shakshuka, with a bit of chorizo over the top and some homemade flatbreads.

Tonight we are going to do home made lamb kebabs, baby potatoes, coleslaw and sweetcorn with a harrisa dip.

Then lemon curd and fresh cream sponge cakes for dessert

Tonight we are have Bombay chilli cheese toasties - might do a salad on the side as a vague nod to the 5 a day!

Yesterday was onion bhaji and salad. Today is pizza. Tomorrow prob chicken and chips.

either spagetti meatballs or (If DH's forage at Tescos is successful) something else.

I am dreaming of roasted chicken with cauliflower cheese.

Aubergine lasagna.
