We're having super noodles with chopped up hot dogs.

Nothing beats a nasty Friday tea.

These noodles made the TikTok way, cooked with milk and plastic cheese. So good!

I made my own version of keema with mince,onions,peas plus spices from my spice rack.We had it with basmati rice and mango chutney.It was very tasty,simp,e to make and a cheap alternative to a takeaway.

@Laalaapopo and @BettyCake
it works best with the very, very thin spaghetti for some reason. Also maybe a bit of flat leaf parsley with grating of lemon rind.

Sounds lovely 😍

Red Thai curry for us tonight. And some rosé, keep the colour scheme matching

Cacio e pepe, you do need some hard italian cheese on hand but other than that it's no bother.
I add a disgusting amount of cheese, as well.

Yay love this thread!

We are having salt and pepper chicken tonight. Oie butchers do these ready marinaded chicken fillets and we've gone for the salt and pepper one. Will add some veg and can't decide between rice or noodles 🤔

M&S best ever steak pie with mash, steamed carrots and brussells sprouts. All that needed prepping was the vegetables, took 10 minutes.

Bugbeau · 10/02/2023 20:53

Co-op finest chicken tikka masala and rice (which is actually really yummy with big pieces of chicken and a really nice sauce) with two onion bahjis. Then some galaxy mini eggs!!

Potato dauphinoise. All for me!

squashyhat · 17/02/2023 19:11

Spanish baked eggs. Sauce made with chorizo, capers, sliced onion, chilli flakes and tinned chopped toms. Egg cracked on top and into the oven for 20 mins. Salad and crusty bread. 😋

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 17/02/2023 19:16

For us it’s always topped fries…

some kid of breaded chicken, bacon, fries, cheese and hot sauce.

it would feed 6 on less than £3.
