It's hot - what's for tea tonight?

[Madmog]

I've got a pizza. Just made up some coucous which will do a couple of nights and will add salad.

My colleague is going around to someone's house tonight for tea and they're cooking a roast - no way could I stand being in the kitchen for an hour or two regularly checking meat and potatoes, as well as the hot plates on.

Whatever's being served in the beer garden

Salmon fillets, jersey royals and asparagus 😋
(Asparagus is S American again now though, sadly)

Already cooked prawns with salad and ciabatta.

No cooking involved.

This is really good. Enjoy

Chicken fried rice. It was so good. I've finally got it better than the takeaways.

Lemon courgette & chicken pasta.

Doing salmon on the bbq with jacket potatoes (cooking in the microwave and just finishing in the oven so not having the oven on for ages) and salad. With a jug of pimms and lemonade - have not had it in about ten years so looking forward to it, proper summer drink!

Salmon & spinach fish cakes with a halloumi, new potato, pea & rocket salad and a lemon & mint dressing. Filling but not too much time in the kitchen.

I try to cook things earlier in the day when I’m WFH so I just need to finish stuff off in the evening when it’s too warm.

It was perfect, added some chorizo.

How?

a lolly, some ice-cream and some grapes. I'll probably get a sandwich in a bit.

Frozen fruit, yoghurt, nuts and honey, it’s the only thing I fancy and it’s only me tonight. I loose my appetite in the heat

BBQ-d sausages and chicken thighs with Peru peri marinade.

Potato salad. Griddled gem lettuce, spring onions, sweetheart cabbage, peppers and aubergines with a creme fraiche, lemon and mustard dip.

Lamb fatoush. Feels like holiday food

Pizza and salad for us too

I roasted a chicken yesterday when I was part cooking bbq food - so cold roast chicken, new potatoes and salad. It’s an extra large one but I have hungry kids so not expecting it to stretch for the week!

Picnic tea - baguette, cheeses, pate and some radishes. Wish I’d remembered to buy a big juicy tomato. I don’t feel very hungry at all in the heat, can’t imagine cooking tonight!

Parrrrrdon?!

How????

I am always disappointed when I try making fried rice. It's never as good.

We had grilled chicken breast,(marinated in paprika and garlic) Leon Superfood Salad, cous cous and crusty grainy bread.
Olives, sun dried tomatoes and ricotta stuffed peppers on the side.
It was lovely and fresh and light.

A roast dinner 😅 my eldest DC wanted one and they've both had a tough week, both children cleared their plates including the one who usually eats about 3 foods so it was worth the heatstroke in the kitchen 😂😂

Impressed by how much effort people go to!

we’re having prawn fajitas (made with a spice mix from Tesco)

I'm sorry, what? 😂

We had our last meal out of our Gousto box (DD2 gave me a code as we've never had one before). It was a Black bean and sweet potato veggie stew with salsa and rice... was quite impressed for a "ready" meal. I halved the red chilli though after using a whole one on Friday night and it nearly blowing our heads off..... sods law that tonights recipe really did need the whole thing!

Thai peanut salad, bought a rotisserie chicken to shred for it.
