Love these threads for getting dinner ideas. I'll start. We're having chinese chicken fried rice, using some of the whole chicken we roasted this morning.

What are you having?

Tonight is beef stroganoff, last night was leftover Chinese takeaway.

Planning on doing a chicken roast with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, homemade yorkies, veg and gravy.
If I can't be bothered or my DD plays up (15 months old) then it'll probably be roast chicken with veg and rice but I'm really craving a roast

Tonight is fishcakes wedges and frozen mixed veg. And some breaded garlic mushrooms that were reduced!

Cooking chicken schnitzel with bacon and white wine from Nigella Express. With some new potatoes and corn on the cob. Just trying to use up the odds and ends in the fridge - half a bottle of white wine and an open packet of bacon = this dinner.

It's a volunteering night for me so it's just some sandwiches and crisps before heading out. DH will probably have the same.

Tonight I'm using up chicken from the freezer so we're having chicken skewers with halloumi, peppers etc on them, and tandoori wings. I have been Uber organised this afternoon though and slow cooked some pheasant, bacon, garlic and shallots and made pheasant pies with hot water pastry. Going to bung them in the freezer for nights where I really CBA to cook.

Grilled chicken marinaded in soy sauce and garlic, rice, green beans and a super easy peanut sauce - really looking forward to it!

Vampirethriller · 25/10/2022 18:25

Tonight I'm knackered and can't be arsed so it's Dolmio pasta (was awful) followed by a tin of nestle caramel.

Inasec24 · 26/10/2022 17:17

Tonight I'm having honey and mustard chicken with brocolli.

Songoftheseas · 26/10/2022 17:31

Sausages, mash potatoes and salad.

Igglepiggleslittletoe · 26/10/2022 17:54

Pasta bake.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 26/10/2022 18:48

Vietnamese pork and cauliflower rice 🥰

AtleastitsnotMonday · 26/10/2022 19:06

I have tuna, sweet potato and chilli fish cakes in the oven, to be served with a pineapple, sweetcorn and pepper salad and pickled carrot, cucumber and red onions.

LovelyBitOfSquirrel69 · 26/10/2022 20:01

Some great ideas here!

Tonight we had home made enchiladas using this slow cooker recipe. Super easy and can be used for tacos or fajitas instead if you fancy.

Tonight we had slow cooker beef and broccoli from taming twins. It was nice but a bit salty, we had with rice and some more broccoli!

SealSquish · 26/10/2022 20:20

Had zero motivation tonight so I’ve had poached egg and tinned tomatoes on toast - it was bloody lovely!

sometime the basic meals just hit the spot!

Oh I used to love that my dad used to make me it for Sunday breakfast. Might need to treat myself to it. I just had quiche salad and new potatoes but the potatoes tasted far too earthy 🤢

Mrsweasleysclock · 26/10/2022 20:27

Quiche and chips. Didn't enjoy it, quiche was not to my taste. Will probably have a cheese toast to give my belly some joy before bed

Tarkan · 26/10/2022 20:34

I let youngest DC (14) pick tonight so we had Fray Bentos pies (chicken for both DC, steak and kidney for me, DH is working so there's a portion leftover) and potato waffles. I added a bunch of button sprouts to mine to attempt to make it a little healthier. Grin

Smoked haddock, mash, and savoy cabbage.

Green shakshuka, garlic and herb flat bread made with yoghurt
