What are you having for dinner?

[rahjama]

I HATE cooking. Always have. I'm not very good at it and I don't eat well.
I think part of the reason I hate it is that because I go to the effort of cooking and the result is never that delicious so not worth the effort. And I'm very lazy.
I tried a pasta bake last week I was super excited about but it turned out rubbish.
Thankfully I have a job where I can eat at work most days.

But tonight I am not working. DH is out so I am eating by myself. I don't know what to cook and I don't particularly want a takeaway.

What are you having for dinner? Maybe it'll give me some ideas🥲

Chilli con carne which I threw together and put in the slow cooker before work this morning. It always feels like someone else has made it by the time I get home.

DH brought a hot roast chicken home and we had that on oven bottoms with stuffing, mayo & sea salt.

Too late probably but chopped veg (any). Fried in oil. Add a Tin tomatoes, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek. Spoon of yoghurt, lemon juice. Simmer 20min. With brown rice.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Pearl Barley.

Chicken thighs, chicken stock, mushrooms, shallots, garlic, oregano - cook for about 3 hours. Add, carrot chunks and pearl barley and hour before you want to eat. Keeps a couple of days in the fridge and freezes well.

Tesco ready meal fish pie.

I'm making sushi tonight 🍣

Roast Chicken Dinner 😋

Oven baked potato wedges, salad, halloumi, flat breads and mango and chilli salsa.

Was going to be spaghetti and quorum meatballs with a spicy homemade tomato sauce.....but my tastebuds thought otherwise

Chinese and a bottle of champagne. Celebrating by DD’s results and she’s off to uni🍾👏🏻

We've had 'Mum's Rice' - essentially egg-fried rice with bacon & sweetcorn. Something my mum used to make when we were kids, quick, easy & cheap.

Just some Aldi three cheese fries with bread then I'll have strawberries and cream.
On my own and just cba with cooking lately.

Congrats!

Spanakopita with a side of Greek salad.

Chicken and chips! Last night we had chicken and chorizo risotto it's such a painless recipe and very tasty! I do quite enjoy cooking but have been slacking over the heatwave!

Chicken arrabiata

@Unforgettablefire oh thank you❤️

Roast chicken (airfryer, so much quicker!), chips, green beans, broccoli and coleslaw.

Left over night for me this evening so it’s

homemade chicken and vegetable fried rice
pasta with homemade pasta sauce
grilled chicken breast

How lovely - congrats to your DD. Make the most of this last month before she leaves.

I’m making this Caribbean Lentils and Pineapple Salsa recipe from HelloFresh

Chicken thigh, reheat from yesterday, with veg and possibly rice or potatoes.

DS is having frozen pizza and garlic bread.

I'm having pork mince, browned with onions, and then simmered gentle with lemon, coriander and green olives. On brown rice 😋

Salmon with chickpea coconut and courgette dhal, and blackberry roll.

It was meant to be roast gammon with chilli and pineapple salsa, but I've not started yet and the gammon takes ages so it's been bumped to tomorrow and been replaced with cod with a pancetta and herb crust, broccoli, green beans and baby corn.

Chicken creamy onion on fettucine, with lashings of wine, to celebrate DD's results, in her absence, as she's off out with her boyfriend to celebrate both their results! Feeling very weepy, hope we'll see a leeedle bit of our girl before she's off to uni!
