What are you all having today instead of a roast?

Usually do a full dinner on a Sunday but don't fancy cooking one when it's so nice out (and I was at a party last night so a little delicate.)

What can I make that's easy but tasty in the nice weather? Would usually do a roast chicken, new potatoes, salad etc but wondering if anyone might have any suggestions for a change Smile

I don't know how you people do it!

I'm on my own so a cheese sandwich Grin

I will be sending DH off to buy a ready-cooked chicken from the hot counter at the supermarket. We'll let it go cold and then have it with some salad and new potatoes later. I really can't be arsed to have the oven on today.

Fish finger salad

Was planning roast chicken with all the trimmings, instead it's just chicken with salad and potatoes. Chicken done in the ninja so no oven on.

Korean chicken with egg fried rice for us!

Cold roast chicken, chopped salad, new potatoes with mint and butter and homemade mayonnaise. Key lime pie for pudding. Bucks Fizz because I fancy some!
😋

We just had a lunch of veggies, jersey royals, boiled eggs and Hollandaise sauce. It was fit.

mellongoose · 11/06/2023 12:39

Chicken, chorizo and red wine stew with spinach and jacket potatoes.

Using up what I need to!

TheChosenTwo · 11/06/2023 12:41

We normally have a roast on a Sunday but when it’s warm it’s usually bbq’d meat and salad, maybe some sautéed potatoes and stuff like that.
Today I’d like a big chicken bacon and avocado salad with croutons. We are having Eton mess for pudding, it’s what ds has been asking for all week!

Daftasabroom · 11/06/2023 12:45

Potatas bravas con huevos rancheros.

Leftover new potatoes fried with onion, chilli, garlic and tomatoes, pull to edge of the pan, butter, throw in a half bag of spinach, let it wilt, pull to edge, fry eggs in the middle.

SamphiretheTervosaurReturneth · 11/06/2023 12:45

Chicken marinaded in spiced yoghurt in a bun with lots of lettuce and a slather of mayo and skinny fries followed by rhubarb sponge crumble and ice-cream

Chicken satay skewers, fiery noodle salad.

We rarely have a roast on a sunday i always seem to do them on wednesdays for some reason 🤣

Whattodo112222 · 11/06/2023 12:49

Reduced fat burgers, salad and home made chips tonight!

Cinders15 · 11/06/2023 12:52

I bought a cold roast chicken from Waitrose with salad, potato salad and coleslaw - already eaten the olive ciabatta 🙈

madeinmanc · 11/06/2023 12:56

I didn't realise a roast dinner on a Sunday was still a thing so it feels a bit like if someone asked me what I'm having for afternoon tea or something 😄

Hellokittymania · 11/06/2023 13:02

Could someone recommend something I could make since I since I have beet root, salad, sliced pumpkin, rice, pearl barley, and tomatoes.
