What's for dinner tonight?

[LajesticVantrashell]

My meal planning is in a rut, I need inspiration!

What are you all eating tonight?

Sausages with roasted fennel, red peppers, courgettes and mushrooms.

Can't wait! I'm starving today!

Thursday is quick easy dinner night as DC have been at nursery so DH and I will eat together later. Tonight we're just having stir fried veg with egg noodles, I make a sauce by chucking in garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter and chilli. Will be fancy and add some cashew nuts and coriander as have them knocking around.

Tomorrow we're having nachos topped with refried beans and crispy chorizo.... can't wait!

Shepherds pie. Not my favourite but it’s taking up room in the freezer.

Boiled Jersey Royals with lots of butter and parsley, turkey steaks (nut burgers for me), and salad with feta and avocados,

Tomorrow I’m starting alternate day fasting so will miss shepherds pie with green beans and broccoli. Thinking I’m going to cook a portion for myself (lentil and red wine variation) for lunch the next day or I’ll feel like I’m missing out and keep putting off starting.

I started jazzing up the beef mince in shepherd pie with some red wine, paprika, loads of garlic and use sweet potatoes and white potatoes in the mash Quackers. DC used to hate it and whinged about it now they love it.

Roast pork,mash,roasties,yorkshire puddings and veg

Veggie burgers with salad.

Yesterday we had pasta puttanesca

Risotto, with crispy parma ham and extra parmesan cheese shavings on top

We had gnocchi with squash, mushrooms, sage and blue cheese. Delicious!

McD's!!! We're so excited. And best yet, DH and DD14 are going to go queue for it. . .

I’m just binging in a chicken pie, chip with veg. We will have gravy.

Pork chops, Jersey Royals (with butter), salad and coleslaw.
Wispa Gold for pudding.

Fish pie (packet of fish pie mix with added prawns, cheese topped mash) with cavolo nero (which we should eat) or French beans (which I would prefer). Maybe some chocolate icecream with defrosted raspberries for pudding.

But tomorrow night friends are bringing fish and chips for us all (4 adults) to eat in the garden!

Just had a McDonalds:

Quarter pounder
Chicken selects
Veggie bites
Oreo McFlurry

Pasta Alfredo.

Fish, chips and mushy peas

2 sirloins on the bbq with pepper sauce. Also salad and garlic bread, roasted tomatoes fried onions and coleslaw. And not forgetting the mushrooms

Fish fingers, chips and beans here. Didn’t fancy making a fakeaway today and this seemed close enough

Kids have had McDonald's a treat from their nan. Me I'll have cheese and crackers probably or a banana. Sometimes I just don't wanna eat much and I really dislike McDonald's!

We had one of those fancy, expensive wood-fired pizzas cut into quarters for our tea tonight along with a few buns, angel slices, tunnocks teacakes and some crisps. It's been a nice week, the dc have worked hard and it's the weekend so we had a little tea party!

Greek salad and oven chips or baked potato with coleslaw Beans and cheese

Tandoori chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, tomato salad for the adults.

Roast chicken, cold new potatoes, crudités for the kids.

Dirty Burgers and homemade chips. DH is cooking.

Chocolate, Sweets and Popcorn for pud.

I would recommend the Roasting Tin book. Its not gourmet but as someone who resents cooking (and was previously short on time) it gave me a wide choice of easy meals. Even DC could follow the recipes and meant I could be a bit more inspired at the weekend.

It's Friday so it's homemade pizza day, which I always think is easy until I have to faff around with bowls of this and that so they can add their toppings. Every week this gets me.
