@IWillWoooTheGhoulWillow how do you make the chicken in white sauce please? I love to batch cook but get bored of mince based dishes, and I love that idea, never occurred to me before

Rib eye steak, creamy mash with spring onion, mushrooms, beer battered onion rings and pepper sauce.

@Icenii

I've got a mushroom, barley and chestnut stew in the slow cooker and homemade bread, but I've put too much stout in the stew and it tastes tinny. Don't know how to rescue it.

You need to add sweetness. Either a little sugar or some sort of chutney or redcurrant jelly or cranberry sauce. It will counteract the bitterness.

We had a roast in Wednesday so having chilli con carne today

Just had an M&S pizza and salad.

@BoomChicka

Of course! It's this recipe from TOMM website/book.

225g chorizo, sliced
1 onion, chopped (I use frozen diced ones!)
1 tube tomato purée
500g passata
1 clove of garlic, grated/chopped (I am lazy and use the tube stuff)
4 chicken breasts, chopped
100ml red wine
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
salt and ground black pepper

Put everything in the slow cooker, stir and cook on Low for 8 hours.

It's our go-to quick and lazy meal as you just bung it all in there and leave it. My favourite kind of cooking

Rib eye steak topped with Gorgonzola, served with spinach and a jacket potato.

Chicken schnitzel with mash, veg and cheese sauce. Maybe chocolate melt in the middle puddings and cream afterwards if we’re hungry enough for pudding.

Sausage, mash & beans x

Tomato sauce and breaded chicken to go with pasta. Easy and tasty.

Goulash tonight, with cabbage and potatoes on the side and dumplings.

Mushroom and onion pie with a puff pastry top, served with peas and potatoes.

We’ve been at a birthday party and eaten lots of beige buffet food so I’ll probably just do something like lentil soup, crackers and cheese for tea. Still beige but at least contains a few vitamins.

I’ve made a beef and ale pie which is now in the oven. We’re having it with chips, broccoli, carrots and gravy.

I've done tandoori fish fillets with potatoes and a salad.
I've also got some chicken breasts sitting in a marinade for wraps for the teens tomorrow lunchtime

We had a very autumnal feeling Sunday lunch.

Sausage casserole with onions and carrots. Potatoes, cauliflower, green beans.

Baked cinnamon plums with ice cream.

As DH and I still recovering from covid I've made roast onion soup and bread rolls for dinner as its nice and simple. DD has pulled a face and wants heinz Tomato soup as that's nicer than homemade apparently.

Venison sausages with shallots, bacon, mushrooms, garlic, red wine. I can never be bothered cooking a roast but this takes about 10 minutes effort and is delicious.

We're having Mr Brains F (yes I'm censoring the word, I hate the word.. but I love the food) having them with mash and sweetcorn.

A Waitrose prawn curry with carrot and spinach rice. Will add a tin of chick peas to the curry. Then ice cream for pudding- yum 😋
