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

I went to Lidl earlier because its Thursday and I knew Greek week was on,which is one of my favourites only just behind the Spanish one.We had a lovely spread of antipasti,meats,wrapped vine leaves,some olives etc etc washed down with some ice cold lagers also from Lidl.

Ooh and my favourite was these butter beans in tomato sauce which were lovely.Might try and make some myself.

Today is potato night again!

I had some broccoli and spinach soup left over so we all ahd that as a starter. DS1 ate more of it tonight thatn yesterday.

I told DS (who has food issues) that the soup was prob the best thing he had eaten all week- froz broccoli; froz spinach; froz peas; chicken stock; garlic and onions. I think if we had a little bit of that every day our overall health will pick up greatly. DS said he was willing to try.

Then we had loaded potato skins with pancetta and sour cream and dill and a big salad.

Followed by chocolate icecream

Today we had seafood risotto which was delicious with salad.

Tonight we're having naan bread pizzas. Naan topped with curry sauce, onions, peppers, chicken and cheese and baked in the oven. Can't wait!

We are having slow cooker lamb shanks with red wine sauce and plenty of redcurrant jelly.Love Fridays 😍

Meatballs in a tomato and chilli sauce with tagliatelle.

Boil-in-the-bag kippers.

Mince, neeps and tatties

Oh that sounds goooooood.

We had baked pancakes with bechemel sauce and salad.

Tonight we had a Hello Fresh recipe: potato wedges topped with chicken and black bean in chipotle barbecue sauce snd cheese.
3/4 of us didn't enjoy it. Ive cancelled HF. The DC don't need it any more and the recipes are samey after a few weeks.

I am saving the bone marrow plus some of the redwine sauce to use tomorrow.Will probably do a casserole with dumplings

Not sure about later tonight,but I am going to do a big breakfast this morning after I have had at least 2 coffees as everyone else is still sleeping before I spend the rest of the morning reading the paper and pottering around.I got some glamorgan sausages and some lovely tomato ones too.Haveny had a fried breakfast in months.

Today is 'burger/hotdog/taco' night so we are having pork and apple burgers (Just pork mince mixed with jarred apple sauce) with salad.

Slow cooker gammon cooked in cola with potatoes and green beans.Really looking forward to it,the house smells lush.

We are on holiday in Greece and so dinner was;

• olives. tzatsiki and hummus with Greek salad and pita
• french fries
• grilled octopus and white fish
• fish croquettes
• lamb kebabs
• halloumi
• ice cream and baklave
• watermelon

I am so inspired....... raw salads with dips as starter- whatever the protein main is- watermelon for pudding. I feel like I have never eaten so much or so well!

Ooh I fancy doing a Greek night on Friday now.Lots of fish,olives ,salads,tzatsiki,sounds great.

Kids wanted chicken bites and curly fries which I will not let pass my lips so I had an entire tub of garlic and herb philladelphia with breadsticks, olives and wine.

I love garlic and herb philadelphia. But I usually eat the whole tub as well. I love it on toasted baguette with fresh thinly sliced tomato and alot of salt.

Oh that sounds amazing! I will have to give it a go.

This evening will be chicken legs with egg fried rice, green beans, corn on the cob and coleslaw.
