what's for dinner?

[RiseYpres]

This week.

We have chicken ramen tonight using leftover roast chicken from Sunday.

After that I am out of ideas. And need to meal plan as have some big expenses coming up and can't afford to push the fuck it button and order in Dominoes. :)

TIA

DD is cooking white fish (I think it's halibut) with gnocchi and green beans. She's done it before and it's delicious. Tomorrow I'm out so I'll eat a sandwich before going and DH and DD will probably have a take away or do something with the sausages in the fridge. Thursday could be spag bol or stir fry...

Homemade pizza yesterday
Falafel (with roasted broccoli mixed in for extra health) with tzatziki and roasted sweet potato fries tonight
Also this week:
Blueberry muffins
Corn and clam chowder with bread
Loaded veggie and hummus sandwiches
Leftovers one night and takeout one night probably, I like a big salad with lots of things on it once a week but never want to go through the trouble of making it myself!

Next week:
Glazed tofu green curry
Green goddess tuna melt sandwiches
not sure what else

I've been feeling really off meat lately so next couple weeks of meal planning are looking pretty green. We'll see if DP notices!

Sweet and sour chicken. Easy

I did a Hello Fresh recipe having not done one for years. Chicken satay, very enjoyable. However, I cooked it in a sort of trance after the disappointment of the cricket.

Tonight we had halloumi and salad pittas. And that's as far as I've got with meal planning!

Don't be disappointed. I'm full of confidence for next week 🏏
Can I add my season ticket thingy to Lord's?

I’m thinking about melting some cheddar on the panini grill to see if it will be like Parmesan crisps when melted and cooled.

So thrilled with the cricket 💃💃💃😁
Made a great spag Bol tonight. Tasted sweet, like victory (sorry not sorry 😆)

Pasta and pesto with frozen peas cooked in pasta water

Tonight we had chilli (mushroom or beef) in taco boats.
Other meals this week:
Chicken or butterbean casserole
Yellow dal, beetroot curry, homemade naan
Roasted Tomato and mozzarella gnocchi
Homemade chicken nuggets/Stuffed mushrooms

Sorry- I did not mean to post and run. I took the DCs out after a disappointing dinner (ramen just did not hit the spot and was poorly executed by me ) for cake and icecream.

Store cupboard raid for us tonight- tuna pasta and salad.

I'll go back and read all your lovely posts!

oooh! I have pork chops in the freezer. Thanks for the idea!

That made me laugh.

I'm going to do something light today like a mushroom risotto or my version of a paella,as hopefully it's going to be another warm day and we can eat outside.

Chicken burgers from the butcher. Need much more variety.

Dinty I made a (simple) paella last night and it was delicious .. and enough left for someone's meal today.
Monday DH finished off a chicken casserole he'd made which I didn't like much and I had cheese and biscuits.
Tonight is sausages and rolls.

Thats as far as I've got ... I really dislike meal planning as I never know what I want to eat until the day .. depends on what I am doing, what I've had for lunch, what's the weather like, who else is in for a meal etc etc ... and I genuinely don't mind shopping every couple of days. Takeaways near us are awful so I am never tempted to order in.

Takeaways by us are ok on the whole,but the idea of spending at least £25-30 on one half decent meal for 2 just stops me from ordering unless in extreme circumstances.I'd much rather have beans on toast than pay so much for one meal when I could get loads in aldi/lidl for the price.Really trying to stay in and not spend outside the house/on takeaways etc.

Opted to go for paella,with a nice glass of wine in the sunshine 🌞

Simply cook Goan fish curry with brown rice and some garlicky spring greens. Absolutely delish

I have a roast chicken in the oven to serve with gratin potatoes, garlic and herb stuffing, buttered cabbage and roast carrots.

Bacon, roast potato, roasted carrots and crispy kale warm salad, courtesy of Hello Fresh. Hadn't realised that ds was here tonight so I'm going to do some extra carrots and salad and maybe have some Spanish tortilla with it too. We've been at the beach all afternoon and that always makes me hungry!

Macaroni with philly stirred in, crispy bacon bits on top, and whatever salad stuff is in the fridge.

Steak and ale pie, chips and mushy peas tonight.

Leftover spag bol tonight.

Creamy Pasta, bacon, mushroom and broccoli with some garlic bread. I’m hoping with a glass of wine (but we had Wine Wednesday on Tuesday so DH may want to be good 😁)
