Creamy chicken & potato topped pie. Basically pulled chicken in a creamy leek sauce and cheesy mash baked on top with veg.

DH is at work so I'm doing a half-arsed roast - chicken, pre made Yorkies, carrots and cauliflower. Maybe a few roast potatoes if I can be bothered. I'm more excited about the chilli chicken ramen I'm having tomorrow with the leftover meat.

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, stuffing, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and gravy, followed by plum crumble. So not much inspiration for not being a roast sorry!

But the rest of the week we're having:
Pasta with pork & fennel ragu
Chicken, pepper & aubergine curry
Pork, mushroom & pak choi ramen
Chicken & vegetable pie with potatoes, carrots & green beans
Sausage, butterbean & leek casserole with baby potatoes & savoy cabbage

Spaghetti and meatballs here z

A chicken and spinach curry. It's a Madhur Jaffrey recipe with a bit of faff involved and I've never made this particular one before, so I hope it's worth the effort.

Skinnyjeansandsidepart · 03/10/2021 12:48

Massive bowl of scouse, crusty bread and loads of butter… can’t wait!

KimchiJjigae · 03/10/2021 12:48

I'm doing jerra aloo and chickpeas (cumin spiced potato curry), with paratha. I've never made it before but I had it at a party recently and it was delicious. Tastes like the inside of a samosa

DementedPanda · 03/10/2021 12:49

I've got a chicken in the slow cooker with hot piri piri marinade. Will have that with herby new potatos, colslaw and salad.

I prepared 3 tray bakes on Friday. Can choose from lamb curry, meatballs or chicken.
But I fancy a roast!

A poussin each, herby baby potatoes, sugar snaps, yorkies and gravy. Will roast the leftover veg from the fridge.

Roast Pork loin for me, roast beef for DH, garlic roasties, sprouts and cauliflower and Yorkshire puddings.

Sunny chicken with rice and broccoli.

(It's chicken thigh in a tomato and paprika sauce with peppers, onions, courgettes and anything else I throw in, slow cooked on the hob)

AtleastitsnotMonday · 03/10/2021 13:17

I’m feeling rough, no appetite at all. I might have an ice pole, everyone else has toad in the hole, mash, peas and gravy.

Crunchymum · 03/10/2021 13:18

Thighs* not one lonesome chicken thigh.
