What is/was for dinner tonight?

[Username24680]

Food shopping tomorrow morning...give me some inspiration for our families meals this week 😊 2 adults & a 2 year old who eats everything and anything!

We’ve just clearers our freezer stash of batch cooking ready to start again so bonus points for anything I can cook double of and freeze 😊

Roasted gnocchi and veg (squash, red onion, leeks) with a pesto dressing.

Ours was beef stew (frozen, batch cooked 2 weeks ago), mashed potato and green beans. I had a veggie pie as I don't eat meat.

Had a busy weekend on the uni open day run so I was very happy to find we could eat out of the freezer today.

Chicken mince meatballs, with tomato sauce. I had it with mushrooms and courgettes fried quickly, but my son had pasta.

I made a big batch of the chicken meatballs last week - with grated apple in them and fennel seeds. Freeze in small portions so can just whizz a few in the microwave. Tomato sauce also bulk made and frozen.

Carrot, sweet potato and lentil soup with crusty bread. Warmed me up a treat.

Spag Bol

Iceland butter basted chicken joint chips and peas here did the chicken in the air fryer on roast for the first time and was impressed it cooked quicker and came out very well

Roast chicken in peppercorn sauce with mushrooms, baby new potatoes with butter and green beans

Home made chicken pie with veggies

Jambalaya, to use up all the random bits of veg knocking about in the fridge

Tuna pasta bake 😋

Tonight was pies that I bought at farmers market yesterday. Quickly warmed in oven along with some crispy potato slices done in air fryer and broccoli. It was a quick dinner as our at various activities.

Rest of the week we’re having:
Chicken parmesan with spaghetti
Fish gougons with oven chips
Enchilladas made with some left over chilli from a batch cook a few weeks ago topped with cheese and sour cream etc
Baked potatoes with tuna or cheese and salad

Cauliflower and cannellini bean cheese.

I was going to make lasagne tonight... however I'm now sitting - tummy rumbling - I. A&E waiting for my son to get xrayed following an incident in PE.....

A few ideas though ours is not particularly inspired this week:
S - roast chicken, crusty bread and salad e.g. coleslaw (left over meat made into pie and stuck in freezer - meant I still had to make gravy but future me will be grateful)
M - pasta and meatballs
T - fish cakes, chips and peas
W - h/m pizza
T - curry and rice

Not got further than that

Last night lamb hotpot
tonight salmon, golden vegetable rice and veg
tomorrow cheese and broccoli quiche with salad (with beans for the kids)

Chicken curry made with a jar of Aldi sauce, served with packet rice.
quick and easy, I’m tired, didn’t get home from work until seven and it’s the one thing all four of us will eat.

More often or not on a Monday night we have Cauliflower Mac n Cheese from the leftover Sunday dinner…

Blitz the remaining cauliflower cheese, add some extra milk and anything else you fancy, bacon, leeks, broccoli etc and add more cheese, bake on the oven and voila…

Tonight I’m topping with Mozzarella and serving with garlic bread and salad.

Veggie enchiladas

Carbonara this evening. Tomorrow we're having a fry up and on Wednesday we're having chicken satay.

Rest of the week is quesadillas, burgers, homemade doner kebabs and cottage pie.

Chilli and salad in wraps with potato wedges and sweetcorn. I made the chilli in the slow cooker, you can easily make double and freeze some for another time.

It makes a good jacket potato filling and can be served with rice, garlic bread or nachos as well.

Lamb chops, microwaved mash, brocoli and leaks. Was very nice and ready in 15 minutes. I like an easy tea on a monday.

Chicken and root veg casserole and heavy dumplings 😋

French onion Mac and cheese courtesy of one of the dc, it was mega! Loads of Gruyère and tonnes of really thick rich mustardy cheesey sauce with a breadcrumb and more Gruyère topping, served with some sautéed broccoli and spring greens. Yum, so full now.

Hope everything goes well @LittleOwl153 , MaccyDs for you tonight I think

Chicken curry, with coconut milk. Onion bhajis.
