What’s For Tea?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

Quite excited to be making a Gordon Ramsey shepherds pie - the mash has butter, double cream, egg yolks & parmesan.

Probably "fend for yourself" tonight.

Dd1's off out with friends so will eat out, I have some Lidl sushi in the fridge and am still being very careful with what I eat. Dd1 will more than likely polish that off if she's hungry when she gets in.

I'll get dd1 to pick up a rice pot or similar for dd2 while she's out or she can rummage and see if she fancies anything we have in.

I'm having leftover chicken stew. The others are having beans/egg on toast with bacon, or fish fingers.
Shopping day tomorrow.

lucysmam really hope you get sorted soon

Pasta here. Macaroni cheese for dd2, plain pasta veg and nuts for dd1, plain pasta, veg and cheese for ds1, tortellini and Arrabiata sauce for dh and I!

TheGirlWhoLived phew! What nuts do you put with pasta?

@SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows me too! The rest of me feels absolutely fine, just my stomach's most certainly not. Strangely, it seems ok with Chinese/Japanese/Thai based foods 🤷‍♀️ good job I'm not a fussy eater really 🤣

Anyone else?

Soup - a bit boring, but I'm calorie counting (due to enormous post-lockdown-weight-gain) and as Easter weekend is upon us (with all the cake and chocolate that brings). I'm eating-light today.

Not even home made - Tide Fords - probably lentil and spinach - actually surprisingly good.

DH will have the same, DD will have tomato soup + cheese on toast to dip in it and a cucumber and tomato salad.

If I don't go shopping it will be this with spinach.

Giving this a quick bump because I enjoy the ideas, even though I can't stomach most of it atm 🙂

Pork loin steaks marinated in honey soy and garlic served with hispi cabbage

Burgers with chilli jam, potato wedges and salad.

the second portion from last night's stir fry veg with ridiculously garlic & soy chicken and rice noodles

No idea. Got a couple of fruit cakes in the oven,going make a lemon loaf too. Probably some of these and custard🙄🤣

Braised beef steaks with roasted garlic mash, been cooking in the oven for a couple of hours, yum!

Mushroom Stroganoff and jacket potato. Mandarins in jelly after.

Chicken korma here (the jars from Aldi with the spices on top) with rice samosas and naan

Sausages (from the butcher) mash (dh made & froze) peas and sweetcorn-running down the freezer in readiness for building work starting next week.

Tomorrow is also using up left overs-chicken breasts, pigs in blankets, stuffing, peas and sweetcorn.

After that, there is a variety of foods that don't really go together, I shall name that Easter Pot Luck Special🤣

A spicy chicken and chorizo gnocchi baked dish with some salad and DS2s eater cornflake cakes for pudding

Salmon and asparagus. Just feeding me as the kids have been out for the day and have got fish and chips. I've been working from home and so raided the chocolate drawer this afternoon to get me through a very boring meeting but now feel a bit sick.

Tandoori style salmon with spiced roasted sweet potato. Tomato and red onion.
Recipe is from The Quick Roasting Tin. I’m trying to get my cooking mojo back as I haven’t cooked anything for ages.

Spaghetti and meatballs which is going to be a challenge as we don't have a working hob. Have never cooked pasta in the microwave before...

Poached salmon with Waldorf salad and potato salad, with some little punschrulle marzipan cake for pudding. I'll probably have a sherry and some pastry nibbles beforehand as it's Thursday night!

Bangers from the farm shop and mash. Might break out some beans.

We are doing chicken breasts stuffed with cream cheese, garlic and herbs and wrapped in streaky bacon with crispy potato slices and side salad
