What's for tea/dinner this evening?

[feliznavidad2]

Heavily pregnant and have lost all inspiration for meal planning.

What are you having for dinner this evening? ☀️

Veg from the garden - peas, carrots, etc. plus whatever it is I've put out to thaw from the freezer - hopefully striking it lucky with some steak - which I will grill or fry quickly, with potato wedges (done in combi microwave as it's free solar)

Spinach pie with some salad

Tantanmen ramen. First time I've made this, hoping it will be as tasty as it looks! www.mob.co.uk/recipes/tantanmen-ramen

Very simple and quick one for us today!

Burgers. Homemade - just beef mince (with extra beef fat grated into it) seasoned with plenty of salt and pepper, made into patties and fried.

Burger buns, lettuce and tomato, raw onion thinly sliced, gherkins.

Ketchup, French mustard.

For lunch today I’m making salad niçoise. On the side, globe artichokes dressed with lots of butter, garlic and parsley. Also bread and butter.

Dinner yesterday was Korean hangover stew made with beef short ribs. Rice and noodles to go with it.

Tomorrow we’re having dal, and roasted broccoli/cauliflower with curry spices, had with rice. Also poppadoms with raita, pickled lime and mango chutney.

Friday we’re planning an evening picnic supper (fingers crossed!) so I’ll make sandwiches: smoked salmon with dill and lemon butter, cheese and our homemade chutney, as well as ham terrine with our homemade piccalilli. Crisps on the side. Also a Victoria sponge for after. Elderflower pressé to drink, and earl grey tea to have with the cake. Picnics make me very happy!

Haven’t planned any further than that!

Peach, tomato and mozzarella salad.

Prawn and aubergine curry, with naan and pilau rice. Taking advantage of DS2 being away on a school trip to cook things he doesn’t like!

DS has 20 minutes between after school club and martial arts so he is having a peanut butter and jam sandwich (he looks forward to this Wednesday tea) DH and I are having a jacket potato with Tuna and Cheese.

We are making pizza

Spice Tailor Randang with aubergine

Baked salmon with roasted veg and couscous.

Not sure yet, waiting for DD1 to decide. She’s in Uni and her BF is bring her home, but he needs to return to his home. So, either local pub or if not meatballs with pasta and salad.

I love these threads! (Food is a happy place for me, and the Good Lord knows we need all the happy places we can get at the moment.)

Tonight we're having greek marinaded lamb, with pilaf rice, and salad (and I'm doing asparagus, beans, broccoli and carrots for she who is offended by the mere existence of salad. . .)

Chicken and bacon pasta bake. Unadventurous small children

@BadAtMaths2 oooh this sounds yum. Is it a ready meal type thing? Can you post a pic of the package ? Coop stuff is usually nice in my experience

Rick Stein's sausage and fennel ragu. I'll also be trying the chorizo summer stew at some point!

chilli which is in the slow cooker now, have friends coming over.

Also have people coming over tomorrow and Friday - need ideas for them too and coming up short!

I'm making a chicken and bacon pasta bake but currently have a post running about keeping the sauce from drying up in the oven. So I could be having wizzled pasta bake if I can't think of a remedy lol

Salmon, asparagus and jersey royals with hollandaise. Strawberries and Greek yogurt for pudding.

@mbosnz i love them too, and food is definitely one of my most happy places!

Could really have done with a lovely, crisp glass of wine with/after lunch today (it’s gloriously sunny here for the first time this year!), but as I’ve things to do this afternoon I decided on tonic, bitter lemon, ice and a slice of lime instead!

Tomato and basil pasta with lots of cheese on top and salad. Fairly simple but won't heat up the house to cook. Maybe garlic butter on toast if I can be arsed. Tomorrow night is takeout pizza night for DH's bday :)

Fried halloumi will feature.

That's as far as I've got so far.

Frozen Southern fried chicken breasts and Waldorf salad, cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes.

I hear you sister! I am working very hard at not drinking alcohol Monday to Friday, but crikey, I'm looking forward to a nice cold 0% alcohol beer!

Chicken in wraps.
Salad, bulgar wheat and humous

Garlic baked chicken, roast squash, beetroot and new potatoes, broccoli and asparagus. Possibly with a nice glass of rose in the garden given this weather.
