What’s for dinner?

I am so excited about my dinner which sounds really silly 😝 but we are having tofu marinated in teriyaki sauce; potato salad; cannellini bean and spinach salad and lemon green salad. I was watching a newish Netflix series called blue zones and it encouraged me to get out of my cooking rut. Plus I love tofu. I’d forgotten how much.

Chicken bacon with linguine

We're making pizzas. I made the dough last week so have taken it out of the freezer to defrost. I have sliced courgettes frying in a pan with olive oil and an obscene amount of salt in preparation. My pizza will be courgette, mozzarella, goats cheese, basil and chilli honey. My DH is having salami in place of the courgette for his.

@ResponsibleWalrus your pizza sounds absolutely delicious.

We're having spaghetti bolognaise. DH made the bolognaise 2 days ago and bunged it in the fridge so it'll be super delicious. I just need to cook the spaghetti and warm up some rosemary focaccia.

Strawberries, meringue and cream for afters.

I’ve got some turkey steaks out the freezer and some basmati rice. I’ve not decided what is going to be the flavouring. It’ll probably end up Chinese flavoured.

Just back in from a day at the zoo, kids had a cheeky happy meal on the way home (last hurrah of the school holidays)

I'm debating between a chicken shish from the Turkish restaurant round the corner or a Pad Thai.

We are having an easy to make paella. Just prawns and chorizo.

Malarandras · 02/09/2023 18:11

Homemade pizza. Best dinner of the week.

Whataretheodds · 02/09/2023 18:11

Trying to up the plant points and we were out for dinner last night, so warm salad of roasted butternut squash and onion in harissa with almonds, spelt, massaged kale, spinach, and yoghurt harissa dressing. Dried cranberries and parsley on top

Everything I make these days has 25 ingredients.

FoodFann · 02/09/2023 18:17

Lazy dinner for us! Fish fingers, chips and corn on cob/peas. DH’s choice!

Babysharkdoodoodood · 02/09/2023 18:36

My favourite tonight. Costco salt and chilli belly pork marinated in gochujang, mirin, soy, ginger and garlic, in the oven.
With stir fry pak Choi, spring onions, baby corns and udon noodles in a teriyaki sauce.

Whattheduck · 02/09/2023 18:38

Dd has had pizza and salad she’s just gone to work
Dh is away with work
I’ve felt under the weather today so having minestrone soup and crusty bread

Dee03 · 02/09/2023 18:42

Prawn Linguine for me, it's one of my favourites Smile

MillWood85 · 02/09/2023 18:50

Chilli roasted salmon, baby new potatoes and green salad topped with olives/feta/walnuts.

DH is pulling faces - he wanted a takeaway curry!

BruinBear96 · 02/09/2023 19:10

I love these threads for inspiration! I actually found one of my now favourite recipes from one of these threads. We're having a cod curry with rice and naan. DH is cooking while I put the toddler down (not very successfully, atm). Also got some salted caramel cheesecake for dessert.

Crikeyalmighty · 02/09/2023 19:12

Sophie Dahls lentil shepherds pie(and we aren't veggie) - delicious it is too

FrogandToadAreFriends · 02/09/2023 19:24

As of now tortilla chips, hopefully this thread will get me off my butt to make something good 😂

Iloveburgerswaymorethanishould · 02/09/2023 19:24

Chicken and bacon baguettes with wedges, salad and coleslaw! So simple but really tasty (and filling) 😊

reallyunderstandsometimes · 02/09/2023 19:37

You all eat such yummy food.. I need to up my game.

I've just cooked a gusto, peanut chicken, greens and wraps baked in the oven and a sweet chilli dip.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 02/09/2023 19:50

We had chicken thighs on the BBQ with roasted crushed new potatoes, kale crisps and a green salad.
