Who is cooking a roast dinner today, and what will it consist of?

I'm doing:

Roast sirloin
Yorkshire puddings
Roast potatoes in beef dripping
Carrots with maple syrup
Cabbage with bacon garlic and cream

All very unhealthy but it is Sunday!

Not a roast but I've made a chicken, leek and mushroom pie, with leeks from my allotment. I make gorgeous buttery short pastry though I say so myself. Allotment grown sprouts and broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy. The pie is huge so we'll have tomorrow with chips and peas.

Chicken here, I don’t eat meat and my family won’t be bothered what it is.
Yorkshire pudding (one large one).
Roast potatoes.
Cabbage.
Carrots or French beans, I haven’t decided yet.
Gravy and stuffing.
Quite simple as I’ve been making the Christmas cake today.

If I hide the extra potatoes and cabbage I hope to make bubble and squeak tomorrow.

The bloke I'm seeing is current pottering round my kitchen doing one for us & my boys (I'm slowly recovering from an eat infection and am worn out from making brownies earlier). He went and got a chicken from the coop earlier.
Roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast parsnips & carrots, sprouts & boiled carrots. Might do some Yorkshire puddings as the dc's like then regardless. Oh and stuffing - I'll have to remind him of that. And peas.

Would usually go to my parents for sunday roast.

Oh that looks glorious! I was too excited about our last beef roast to take a photo before we tucked in but I remembered to take a photo of the tray of Yorkshire pudding I made a couple of days later to use up some of the leftovers. It was my first time making it (it’s usually DH’s job) and I was very proud that it turned out perfect! 👌

We normally go to pil every Sunday so today ds2 has helped me and dh make a cottage pie (with a cheesy top of course) Much as I love our Sunday roasts there was a gorgeous moment when i looked over whilst stirring the mince and saw dh helping ds to chop the celery, all of us cooking together (dh isn't usually home until past 6 so we rarely get to eat together). I'm really trying to focus on the little things this lockdown, I have a lot to be thankful for even if I miss seeing my family.

Wow, that sounds amazing

Thanks Dixie, it's smelling amazing at the moment. We're not eating until about 7 and I'm bloody starving (am consoling myself with my traditional pre-Sunday dinner Bloody Mary).

LadyLindaT · 08/11/2020 17:13

I swear I only roast things for the stuffing, gravy, pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings, cranberry sauce and horseradish sauce. (Not necessarily all at the same time!)

Roast tomorrow i was too busy today.

Beef
Roasies
Carrots
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Homemade Yorkshire puddings

Never used garlic etc. I think its tasty enough without adding herbs/spices/garlic. No need.

bluechameleon · 08/11/2020 18:08

Chicken and stuffing. Roast potatoes, parsnips, purple carrots and Brussels sprouts. Boiled orange carrots and runner beans. Probably Yorkshire puddings. Apple and blackberry crumble for pudding.

ShrikeAttack · 08/11/2020 18:28

Your Yorkshire's look great Dixie.

Nice pink beef too!

jessstan1 · 08/11/2020 18:29

Lovely menu, Dixie. Yum!

DixieLandReject · 08/11/2020 19:44

Love the pics!

1kg of beef, cooked for 40 mins, on 200 degrees, usually gets the right result I find! I.e pink

Tonight we had roast chicken, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, carrots, kale and gravy.
Then some nigella chocolate fondant pot things with clotted cream.
We have a roast most sundays during the winter.
