What's for dinner?

[SoberCurious]

I can't think of what to cook anymore!!

Tonight is going to be home-made fish and chips, with peas and coleslaw. . .

Wine and salted popcorn

Dinner of champions!

Tuna pasta for me tonight. Ds is at his dad’s and I just couldn’t be bothered doing anything elaborate just for me!

Today is hummus veggie wraps, so that we can use up the fresh produce in the fridge before it goes bad.

Tomorrow will be a leftover night to clean out the fridge.

Sunday will be spinach casserole at the request of a friend in town who is bringing over 2 guests.

Hot sausage & mustard (🎶🎶Food, glorious food) sandwiches, eating from the depth of the freezer now!

Fries topped with ultra spicy paneer curry, big dollop of yoghurt and crispy onion bhaji bits.I

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt sushi because DS is missing it. Not at all confident.

Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, carrots and cauliflower with gravy. Probably make a curry tomorrow with some of the left over chicken.

The others had pizza last night, but I’m not keen, so I made a mustardy coleslaw/potato salad and ate it with Cumberland shroomdogs and corn on the cobs. It was lush.

I'm so bloody bored of thinking what to cook each week. We seem to be eating the same meals on repeat. With the children around more I've been sticking to things they won't whinge about, but I'm bored of everything.

Last night I made a BBC good food recipe I haven't done in a while. Turkey meatballs in a tomato and fennel seed sauce. Had it with cous cous instead of pasta.

Tonight is wraps with hummus, falafel, halloumi and salad

Sausages and something tomorrow.

last night lamb chops with jacket potatos and swet corn,

Tonight chilli con carne.

At some point I am having pesto pasta with roasted tomatoes in it.

I do like these threads and it's good to know I'm not alone in feeling the doom of what to have tonight !

Liking the sound of haddock gratin and spinach pie /fancy name

@maddiemookins16mum and anyone - my attempts at roasting potato wedges are never very succesful ,can you talk me through it ? give tips ?

@peridito treat them like you would roasties - par boil thick wedges and then into hot oil, with seasoning over them if you want. Guaranteed crispy, delicious wedges every time!

ok ,thanks ,that makes sense .

I can do roasties ,it must be the parboiling that makes the difference .

Yesterday we had chilli & cheese sausages, cowboy beans and garlic bread.

Today we're getting chinese!

I love the idea of chilli and cheese sausages!!

Roast Pork dinner.

We have a fabulous local butcher and during lockdown they have been just producing surprise packs of meat. You say how much you want to pay and they put together something for you. It has been quite fun. This week i got a whole chicken, some mince, some green bacon, lamb chops and pork chops. I might tomorrow use the pork chops and make a creamy mustard sauce.

One week i got liver (although they did ask if I was okay with that!). Liver very gently suateed with a butter and fresh sage sauce. Lovely.

Ham and mushroom pasta bake with cheese sauce. Probably served with salad as we have some rocket that is starting to look a bit sad!

that sounds very good. I am a mad keen fan of Diners Drive Ins and Dives and there was something like a ham pasta bake today and it has really whet my appetite.

Tonight, my friend is coming round for a socially distanced dinner in the garden. I’m setting up my pop up gazebo so we can sit either side, bringing out the electric wok, and we’re having stir fried beef, pepper and onions in pitta breads, coleslaw, salad and cider :) Really looking forward to it.

Fusili pasta with creme fraiche, spinach, mushrooms and red onion. Super quick and easy.

Crispy chicken fajitas with taco seasoned wedges tonight.

Lamb burgers with goats cheese, caramelised onions & very very hot sauce. ‘Twas lovely.

Last night was sausages, mash, beans and carrots (ds1 doesn't do beans)

Tonight: piri piri salmon, homemade wedges, salad. Ds1 had quiche, wedges and carrots, ds2 had lentil soup, bread and wedges.
