What’s for dinner?

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 😭

Weekly shop completed today, so dinner is steak from the freezer with Parmesan chicken also out of the freezer for dd, with chips, mushroom masala sauce, spinach and roasted vine tomatoes.
Tomorrow is fakeaway Chinese and Saturday I’m cooking a joint of ham, which will keep us in lunches for a few days too.
Sunday roast beef, with leftovers feeding us in one way or another Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday/Thursday freezer surprise.
Good Friday Hoping I might be able to get some fresh fish otherwise homemade fish cakes in the freezer, will have to do.

I always meal plan, and batch cook, so freezer always well stocked from working shifts for the last 13 years. Now out of work even more important. I love to cook but could murder a takeaway, or someone else making me a meal.

Only shopping once a week, dh still working so picks bread and milk up on his way home.

Frys Chocolate cream for pudding (later with a cuppa).

Bangers n' mash, with our usual shite load of veges.

That prawn and seabass risotto sounds absolutely gorgeous.

@Justtrying, I hear you. I could bloody murder a takeout.

Curried carrot and lentil soup, using up another jar (madras paste this time) from the fridge. Dinner is spaghetti and meatballs. Was made to do 'forced fun' with colleagues on VC this afternoon so hit the wine early...

EatWithGusto · 03/04/2020 09:06

we had meatballs with onion gravy and potatos. Very good.

mooboy · 03/04/2020 09:13

Tonight we shall be having the much loved Jamie Oliver's Sweet Tomato and Aubergine Rigatoni.

Sexnotgender · 03/04/2020 09:15

Some kind of bok choy and broccoli stir fry.

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 03/04/2020 09:15

Husband is hoping to procure some steak from Sainsbury's later so that's the plan....but we do have a freezer plan B!

drspouse · 03/04/2020 09:42

We're getting food delivered, debating what the mildly fussy DCs would eat off the Indian takeaway menu.

BiddyPop · 03/04/2020 10:35

we're on takeaway as well tonight - DD is pushing for pizza as the local Base is still open, DH wants spicy and Mao is still an option, I'm just happy to not cook tonight.

Madein1995 · 03/04/2020 10:45

Takeaway tonight - domino's and prosecco. Right now am traipsing a heavy laptop bag into work and arm feels like it's gonna drop off. So am looking forward to getting home, flopping on the bed and relaxing.

mbosnz · 03/04/2020 11:13

Home-made fish n' chips tonight.

With much wine. . .

Chicken Something

Xiaoxiong · 03/04/2020 12:14

I'm doing this tonight: themodernproper.com/skillet-roasted-chicken-with-cabbage

Two ingredients (chicken and cabbage), plus spices! I may add potatoes though to roast with the cabbage.

NW2SW · 03/04/2020 12:40

Chicken sausage orzo bake hopefully.

SnowStag · 03/04/2020 13:09

I am going to do a full chicken something along with mashed potatoes and a broccoli cheese.

SnowStag · 03/04/2020 13:09

eventually.

BearSoFair · 03/04/2020 13:18

Salmon pastry parcels with mash, peas and carrots.

PenguinsOnParade · 03/04/2020 18:34

Quick easy comfort food here tonight. Cheesy French toast.

drspouse · 03/04/2020 18:37

Well I had a really bad headache and went to sleep and DH decided he isn't hungry so we're leaving the takeaway and I think I'll have cheese on toast.
