It's Friday, you want something delicious and easy to cook but can't stretch to a takeaway. What are you having?

[NotQuiteUsual]

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

Nothing beats a nasty Friday tea.

DC1 has offered to make a chilli. Yum.

I am playing with my new pressure cooker so having chicken with left over veg and dried butter beans,some chicken stock and undecided herbs/spices.
Eat some,freeze some.

Chicken nuggets, baked beans and potato waffles always a winner too.
Or a supermarket curry or pizza

I've made fridge bottom soup to have with fresh bread and parkin , the soup's gorgeous and the Parkin is just coming out of the oven 😃

Cheats ash-e-reshteh from my new cook book. It's basically 4 tins of different beans and some herbs+ spice boiled as a soup with some dry spaghettti chucked in at the end.

My friend calls breakfast for dinner "brinner" 😂

During one of my more productive weekends I made a huge batch of spinach and ricotta pasta and a batch of tomato sauce. 4 minutes to cook the pasta from frozen and about the same to warm up the sauce. God bless Jamie Oliver. He taught me to freeze liquids laying flat in sandwich bag so they defrost quickly.

Fish finger sandwich

Spag bol, made it earlier so will just reheat and boil the pasta! Oh and garlic bread!

black bean and kale chilli with spicy wedges, plus lots of cheese, guacamole and sour cream

Heinz tomato soup with two slices of tiger loaf.

M&S Dirty Fries - outrageously calorific but so yum!

Steak and blue cheese baguettes here this evening

Home made lasagna but from the freezer and salad. I’ve made a cake for tea so it will be what’s left of that for pud

Homemade chicken hot pot! Not our usual Friday night tea, that usually consists of whatever can be bunged in the oven but I’ve pulled my finger out for once and actually cooked from scratch. The kids ate none of it and reminded me why I don’t bother anymore 😂

Beef stew and cheddar mash. (Ready made)

Scrambled egg on toast lol

Fajitas

Dal, rice, pickled aubergine strips, chicken tikka, chapattis. All home cooked. Cost (3 adults) circa £4.50

We are having takeaway curry but I'm cooking rice and chips at home to save a few quid.

Bread and cheese is our easiest Friday tea but we live in France so it’s a decent baguette with…

Saint Marcelin
Beaufort
Challerhocker
Claousou
Camembert
Fribourg and Appenzeller (to supplement a fondue tomorrow - another easy tea 😂)

DH likes his cheese. He went a bit mad in the fromagerie.
😂

But just read someone is having katsu curry ,.. might change!

I am absolutely loving the variety. I honest expected 20 comments of beans and toast 🤣 your easy teas are way above my standards.

Oh and and takeaway in the U.K. would be so much cheaper., but there are no cheap takeaways in France (except for kebabs). At least the cheese lasts a while.

I made pizza for dinner today so had my quick and easy last night which was oven chips in the air fryer with bread and butter.
