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?

Spaghetti and veggie meatballs with fresh tomato sauce.

We are having tinned soup and cheese toasties for lunch and then chicken schnitzel with mashed potato, broccoli and honey carrots for dinner.

I am quite pleased with this plan.

KennAdams · 02/11/2022 11:27

Chicken and veg pie, chips and beans here.

Easy childhood dinner for us tonight. Homemade meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I'm off work at the moment so I'm going to make a batch of sweet potato and red onion bhajis in a bit and cook them in the air fryer then freeze in batches to go with curry nights. I also have two blocks of paneer that expired a few days ago so going to make a palak paneer side and freeze that too.

Mary Berry's Tuscan chicken

lilroo87 · 02/11/2022 16:16

Going to make cheeseburger pasta, although I don't have pickles so will have to go without

Violettaa · 02/11/2022 16:21

Meatballs, either with a vaguely c hi obese sauce, rice and broccoli; or spaghetti and Tom sauce. Whichever I fancy when I start cooking.

hairyunicorn · 02/11/2022 16:22

Sweet potato with goats cheese, rice, green beans and mangetout

ThreeRingCircus · 02/11/2022 16:29

Tex mex veggie lasagne tonight made with refried beans, peppers, spinach and onions.

It's essentially normal lasagne but with the filling spiced up a bit and tortilla wraps instead of lasagne sheets.

IHeartGeneHunt · 02/11/2022 17:00

KFC tonight because it's cold and dark and miserable and I can't be arsed.

ifonly4 · 02/11/2022 17:11

Lidl cheese and onion slice, new potatoes baked beans and some roasted cherry tomatoes.

ShinyPikachu · 02/11/2022 20:06

I just made French toast tonight as I can't be arsed (the bad weather here has caused my fibromyalgia to flare up so I'm tired and sore), DH is working and only one DC (the fussy one who loves French toast) is home tonight.

I love a bit of obese sauce with my broccoli!

OrangePumpkinLobelia · 03/11/2022 07:02

Tonight we are having cauliflower cheese with a chicken something. I need to do another online shop (Covid here) so have some chicken thighs and some mince meat to use up. I really want to make a meatloaf but the Dcs want bolognese for tomorrow.

Igglepiggleslittletoe · 03/11/2022 07:14

Think tonight it will be good old chips, sausages, eggs and beans. Rotten weather.

LovelyBitOfSquirrel69 · 03/11/2022 08:30

Sausage casserole with crusty bread.

Tonight is chicken tikka masala (just a jar sauce) with corn on the cob and brocolli. Rice and Naan on the side (Asda just essential naan it's really nice!)
