How about a nice, soothing, 'What's for Dinner' Thread?!

Dunno about anybody else, but food is my comfort zone, my happy place. So bugger off doom and gloom, tonight we have homemade beef curry and basmati rice, and a Yealands 2021 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. The Sav' Blanc is for me.

Yesterday was a paneer, black pepper and cashew curry - a new recipe from Olive magazine. It was delicious. Today I'm trying their chicken escalope with sweet and sour leeks. DD1 is a vegetarian so I'll have to think of something to do for her.

Oh sounds amazing! Do you have a linktoo lazy to Google

Beef Stew in Beer in the slow cooker leftovers plus crusty bread but as that won't go three ways Im going to do a little cheesy fish pie with spinach. And pancakes of course!

Crispy duck pancakes as its pancake day! Followed by sweet pancakes!

Unbreaded fish cakes, salad, courgette probably.

We had pancakes for breakfast. Tea tonight is belly pork chilli with homemade cornbread.

Chicken casserole and mash

Chicken rahmen with the leftovers from yesterday’s roast.

Southern fried cabbage, bacon & potatoes

Today is sweet potato soup, cucumber and hoisin sauce sandwiches, and Nutella pancakes. Decided to give cakes and puddings up for Lent so I'm going out with a bang.

Fish finger and hash brown waffle sandwiches with ketchup YUM

S'ghetti and meatballs, with a nod to veges in the form of spinach. And Sav' blanc. . .

Farmers wife plait (sausage, apple and caramelised onion), roast sweet potato, broccoli, carrots. And of course pancakes for pudding!

Today will be what I call "winter stew," although I just learned it is meteorological spring today.

The stew has pieces of tender beef, potato, sweet potato, turnip, carrots, parsnip, celery, and onion in a nice stock. I use allspice berries and bay leaves. The allspice is what my Mum used based on her scandi ancestry.

I cook the beef first in the Instant Pot, then add the veggies and give it another pressure cook.

Very comforting and warming for a cold rainy day.

I've got a raging sore throat and burning chest (covid lateral flow test negative) and I'm just not hungry for dinner. Possibly the first time in my life!

Here you go @gingercat02. I wasn't sure which you wanted so I've photographed both recipes. As you can see, the curry page got a bit oil splattered! Highly recommend both recipes. I buy Olive magazine from time to time when I feel in a cooking rut.

Last night we had chicken paprikash.
Tonight it’s beef stroganoff.
Tomorrow normal service will resume with beans on toast or suchlike…

Chicken and vegetable soup.

There's some lovely comforting and delicious sounding meals on here!

Tonight is another pasta/carb' hit - macaroni cheese.

Pasta is what this place runs on in times of stress - and these sure are stressful times - what with one doing mock GCSE's, and the other doing A level mocks, before you even get started on what else is going on!

Ooo love macaroni cheese. We often do it with brocolli too so it's like a mix.

Tonight is turkey tacos. Tacos always a win here as everyone can pick and choose what toppings etc they want and build their own

Tonight DD is in the kitchen so we are having loaded Shakshuka fries.
Basically a Shakshuka sauce with lots of veg and red peppers so it's quite sweet over oven chips with feta crumbled over it.

I'm doing an orzo tuna pasta bake this evening, which includes lots of olives, capers and preserved lemon. With a green salad.

DC at dads tonight so I'll be in my pjs early. Leftover chilli and cornbread from yesterday, with sour cream and feta, and probably a drop of wine with Netflix for company.

Fish curry (mixed white and salmon in a red curry sauce with some coconut cream) served with whichever vegetables I can rustle up and a mix of cauliflower rice with rice.

Tonight we having, for me chicken kyiv, for DH chicken cordon bleu (chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella and wrapped in bacon) both freshly made at our local butcher. Roast potatoes, broccoli, cauli and carrots. Unusually having dessert tonight as I came across some gluten free brownies in the freezer that I had forgotten about, with ice cream.
