That doesn't involve standing over the oven? I'm melting in my office and not looking forward to cooking tea later...

Quesadillas with salad. Quick and easy. Eton mess made by dc.

We are having a (premade) goats cheese and roasted red pepper quiche with salad tonight. Tomorrow is (I'd usually have this for weekend breakfast), smoked salmon and cream cheese on toasted bagels.

I've made up some meatballs, in the vague hope of a cooler day to put with some tagliatelle.

I just need some nice fresh cold white wine.

That quiche sounds lovely - do you use the ‘crumbly’ goat cheese and roast the peppers first.

Salad with Moroccan lamb kebabs

What my husband calls Singapore chilli con carne. It visually resembles chilli con carne and there is chilli in it, but that’s where it stops.

If you wait long enough to cook dinner, everyone will eat cereal.

OH wanted new potatoes and peas with the cold meats , he was told that was not on the menu 😅😅

Inanun2 · 20/07/2021 20:24

Some good ideas on here.
We have had linguine, smoked salmon and Boursin cheese (melted with splash of milk to make a pasta sauce) took 11 mins !

lollipoprainbow · 20/07/2021 20:30

Quiche and salad

nancy75 · 20/07/2021 20:33

Tonight we had blackened salmon with avocado & mango salsa & potato rosti
I love this dinner but you can only cook the salmon outside (hob on the bbq) because cooking it indoors is like being teargassed by the fumes from the blackening spices

Nat6999 · 20/07/2021 20:40

We've had sandwiches & a Solero for afters.

@SweatyBetty20

I’m doing exactly the same as *@ODFOx* (which has freaked me out a bit!) - have visitors for tea.
I'd never made it before. Definitely making it again! The lemon, oregano and garlic combo was so good! I hope you enjoyed yours too!
DrCoconut · 20/07/2021 21:45

Quinoa and salmon salad from the Wagamama book.

SweatyBetty20 · 21/07/2021 09:38

@ODFOx - I did it in the slow cooker yesterday, and then finished it off in the oven for half an hour with roasted new rosemary spuds, tablooleh, hummous, flatbreads, tzazitki and a Greek salad (but I forgot to put the feta on!). It was blooming lovely, guests loved it, and there's leftovers :-D Glad you enjoyed yours too!

NormanSicily · 21/07/2021 17:40

Pork and apple burgers in buns, raw veg sticks and pasta salad for the kids. Lamb kofta, SW fries and sald for DH. Still too hot.

Westchesterarms · 21/07/2021 17:44

Spaghetti bolognese. 😋

Never too hot for spag bol. 🥰

Hen2018 · 21/07/2021 17:50

Toad in the hole, peas and gravy.

Once that is cooked, turning the oven down to cook a banana and apricot cake because the bananas need using up and I’m a fool...

lazylump72 · 21/07/2021 18:25

Take away for us tonight ,,sod cooking it's too hot!
