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 😭

Lasagne for us tonight.

I now have ten tonnes of potatoes. I really must stop getting pre-boxed veg boxes... I never realised how few spuds we actually eat.

I have potato scones to make - maybe gnocchi.... definitely mash. Bubble and squeak... ummmmm

Oops, I missed a day!

Last night was steak in a red wine jus, with kumara and potato mash, with broccoli, carrots, asparagus, and leek.

Tonight is Spag Bos.

Last night was chicken breasts covered in grated cheese, chopped up ham and breadcrumbs, jacket potatoes and homemade coleslaw.

Tonight we’re having gammon - just put in the slow cooker in some cider with a crust of whole grain mustard and maple syrup - with potato wedges, grilled pineapple and peas.

Mmm that gammon sounds lovely.

Saturday we had salt and pepper chicken and chips, yesterday was a bbq.

Tonight will be beef and bean quesadillas with a salad of some description.

Fell off MN for a bit but I’m so pleased to see this is still going!

We’re having what I’m calling mezze tonight but is really using up various random things that there aren’t enough of to make a meal from

Dolmades
Greek style butter beans
Halloumi
Pitta
Peppers
Tabbouleh
Bean salad
Cucumber and pomegranate salad
Greek style potatoes...

I'm doing nandos style chicken and spicy rice tonight to appease the teens that miss it terribly whether or not it'll be up to scratch, I'll let them be honest and report back!

V. Easy tea tonight.

Pork stir fry with homemade sauce. Peobabkh plenty of wine xx

Mezze sounds fabulous!

Just googled peobabkh

Taco stuffed peppers with garlic roasted baby potatoes and sweetcorn

Flat breads with leftover leg of lamb, sour cream and med veg.

Nando's cornflake chicken kit, I braved Sainsbury's and haven't tried this before.

Leek and puy lentil gratin with crunchy feta topping tonight, served with green salad.

Also got a pot of nettle soup on the go for tomorrow!

Roast vegetable pilaf

Serves 2 - Jar of tesco free from bolognaise sause, 3 thinly sliced mushrooms (can be omitted), 6 birds eye vegan meat balls, white fusilli, black pepper. Gosh it was good!

Tuna and cheese toasties, homemade sausage rolls watermelon and mango milkshakes for after

Well, it was going to be mediterranean fish parcels, new potatoes and spring veges.

It's been unanimously changed to bangers and mash, given the weather. . .

A grazing board!

Brie
Roquefort
Crudités
Home made hummus
Home made ranch dip
Pickles
Smoked salmon
Caponata
Garlic bread

With a green salad and a Greek salad.

It's a real mismatch as I'm trying to use up all the odds and sods in the fridge before my weekly shop tomo

Mince parathas with green chutney
Samosas, chicken pakoras and cheesy chicken balls
Watermelon and oranges for after

I had a fried egg butty in a really fresh, soft white bread cake.

Tagine tonight using up some of the leftover lamb from Easter.

@HelenaJustina is that the green roasting tin recipe? Been meaning to try it (but no one else in the family really likes lentils. Or Feta for that matter)

Pasta and meatballs yesterday, tonight will be some kind of veggie coconutty curry. Any recipes gratefully received!

I ended up trying a Catherine Fulvio recipe with the duck last night - smearing ginger and cumin into the breast and serving with an orange, ginger and chilli sauce. It was quite tasty!! (Mash, broccoli and leeks on the side).

Today, we are having chicken thighs on the bone, marinated in hot chicken wings sauce, and roasted. I plan to turn leftover mash into potato cakes to bake in the oven - some gently fried onions mixed in, and then given the "flour, egg, panko crumbs" treatment.

I think we are sticking with the lamb meatballs plan for tomorrow.

Leftovers I suspect though DS wants prawn crackers and chow mein from the Chinese takeaway...
