What’s for tea / meals of the week.

Shamefully looking for inspiration.

I’ve the luxury of working from home next week (which I loath) however on the bright side I will be able to cook some delicious meals.

I’m planning on baking and making everything from scratch.

Today I’m making a quick easy roast dinner.

So far on my list is homemade Cajun chicken pasta with added broccoli and spinach and homemade bread.

Garlic and herb mushroom filled ravioli, with homemade garlic bread.

brownies, cookies and scones and a chocolate fudge cake (ds1 request)

That’s it.

Tuna, sweet potato and chilli fishcakes
Pasta arabiata
Field mushrooms stuffed with rice and Stilton
Cauliflower and chickpea curry
Lemon, Garlic and herb butterflied chicken breasts with salad and some form of potato
Shakshuka
Roast gammon with roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, cauliflower and broccoli (first roast in an absolute age!)

Courgette and feta quiche
Pork and apple burgers
Tomato and mascarpone risotto
Mushroom stroganoff
Fish pie

Chicken & Pearl barley casserole.
Prawn spaghetti
Fish (whatever is on offer) with couscous salad and lentil salad.
Chicken noodle soup
sausages with swede and carrot mash, broccoli and peas.

Morning sickness is kicking my arse at the moment so this weeks meals are beige-tastic!

Filled pasta and sauce
Cottage pie
Pie leftovers
Leek and macaroni cheese

I really hope I can go back to cooking proper food again soon 🤣

There's a weekly meal planning thread in Food you may like to lose an hour or three reading.
This week:
Salad with blue cheese and figs
Salmon, new potatoes, samphire and tarragon sauce
Miso aubergine, green veg and rice
Pasta with anchovy olives and capers
A ramen-y thing with tofu and rice noodles. I have yet to figure that out properly.
Pizza and salad

Mushroom keema inspired shepherds pie. Using this recipe for the aloo masala mash and this recipe for the mushroom keema. With tandoori broccoli and coriander chutney.

Bibimbap, with broccoli and sweet potato.

Caramelised onion, coconut and egg curry with rice. I’ll probably throw some spinach in too.

Something with pico de gallo and guacamole. Maybe nachos, maybe tacos, but it’s the sides I really want.
