Baked salmon steaks, with little new potatoes and asparagus and tender sweet broccoli stems. And for the first time in about 15 years. I bought a pkt of orange jelly in the shop a while ago, so have made the jelly and put those mandarin orange segments in it., I never ever have desserts at all. so will be quite refreshing on this sunny evening.
Oh I like the sound of jelly.

TBH I am seriously thinking of going back to what my DH would call 'nursery food' because no-one in my family eats any of my cooking. DS1 has alot of food issues. DS2 takes after his dad and could not care less about what he eats. DH is now vegetarian but he genuinely forgets to eat because he thinks of other things.

I can do a rocking smoked salmon terrine, {@MamaMia252 Grin ) so might do that for myself tomorrow and everyone else can have cottage pie (sans peas and potatos for DS 1 and sans meat for DH) and i will start cooking to please myself.

( I am really fed up).

Roast dinner delivery. Knackered and haven't been shopping for fresh stuff.

Curlyshabtree · 14/07/2021 18:17

I’m going to make a prawn, pea and asparagus risotto.

thefirstmrsrochester · 14/07/2021 18:21

Shop bought pizza for the dc (the youngest of whom is 16 so they can sling them in the oven themselves) and I’m having a can of mojito because I don’t like pizza Grin

Frozen breaded cod and beans. My go-to can't-be-arsed-to-cook dinner. The rest of the family are out, so it's just me and the dog, and he doesn't like fish🤣

PollyRoe16 · 14/07/2021 18:39

Have you tried gousto? I've had it for a few weeks to get some more ideas of what to have as I was just eating spag Bol and sausage and mash on repeat 😂. I have a code if you wanted to try it

Korean fried chicken bites in a chilli sauce (easy version) with a noodle and veg stir fry.

TabithaTiger · 14/07/2021 18:50

Week day dinners are boring! I just can't be bothered. I've had vegetable stir fry.

N0ManJan · 14/07/2021 19:09

Moroccan spiced lamb leg steaks, crispy diced potatoes and roasted peppers onions and tomatoes

SamMil · 14/07/2021 19:10

Quiche, veggies and beans. Easy meal tonight!

Biancadelrioisback · 14/07/2021 19:11

Just did homemade carbonara (cream free/traditional way). Great way to use up some veg and pasta!

nixso29 · 14/07/2021 19:18

Chicken Alfredo Parpardelle 😋

StevieNix · 14/07/2021 19:20

I can’t be bothered to cook so we’re having a freezer meal. Battered cod fillets, chips and mushy peas

Camomila · 14/07/2021 19:23

We had soft shall tacos with chilli/cheese/salad inside - DH accidentally bought the mini ones which worked out well as the children could pick them up more easily.

Marmite27 · 14/07/2021 19:23

Somerset pork, new potatoes and veg (baby corn, broccoli, green beans and Mangetout. Plus asparagus for everyone but me).

Sounds fancy, but it was a slowcooker and Schwartz packet collaboration. Chop up an apple, grab a pack of pork steaks, mix the power with 300ml water and Chuck it all in the slow cooker for 5 hours on low.

Titsywoo · 14/07/2021 19:23

I'm not in the mood to cook today so I am working my way through a large bag of crisps at the moment!

maddiemookins16mum · 14/07/2021 19:24

We had lamb koftas, Greek salad, flatbreads and Greek dips.

boathemianrhapsody · 14/07/2021 19:26

I hope you have evaporated milk to go over the jelly.
