I've got two Hello Fresh recipes and I don't fancy either of them. DS is having tea at his friend so it's just me and DH. Today is payday. What should we have?? What are you having??

Had salmon last night with salad. Chicken thighs tonight, can’t decide how to do it yet.

Beef casserole with dumplings and some crusty bread for the men/boys.

PuttingTheGreen · 27/09/2023 16:22

Whatever my husband is making when he gets home from work.

I could really go for a pie today. No carbs for me though. I also feel like a nice goulash, with lovely bread and butter, but none of that for me either. I really miss Eat.s goulash, I used to love that.

Pork chop and salad for me today though 😛

I'm going to go to the shop for a couple of potatoes and going to have chips. I've seen too many delicious looking ones on rate my plate & council cuisines on FB today 😆

BooAutumniscoming · 27/09/2023 17:03

@AlwaysPrettyOnTheInside me too with the chips 😁 to go with the pie I have made. Hope the electric stays on long enough for me to cook it, it's so windy here rn.

beef kofte kebab with rice and grilled tomatoes 🤤

Pie, chips and gravy would go down lovely here right now 😋

QuestionableMouse · 27/09/2023 17:47

I'd love pie, chips and peas but can't find a decent gluten free pie ☹️

Might do ham, egg and chips 😁 it's rainy and cold here and I fancy some comfort food

Goulash: reminds me of a divine Delia Smith recipe with meatballs (done like a goulash) and tagliatelle. Absolutely delicious!

TribeD · 27/09/2023 18:08

Toad in the hole, mashed potato, broccoli and onion gravy.

It sounds it.

I've been wanting a stew and atora dumplings or goulash for about a week now.

Google it. It's a bit of a faff, but absolutely worth it!

Slow cooked lamb shanks, mash, and grilled Mediterranean veg.

Further to my previous post, I had only made lamb shanks once before and it wasn't great tbh. Last night I made it from this recipe for 3 of my DH's mates who are all without their partners for various reasons. It was a delicious and a huge hit!

Bacon,cheese omelette,baked beans,tomatoes,hash browns and buttered toast

IFeelSoSoSad · 27/09/2023 19:37

Mozzarella Chicken…but I forgot the mozzarella, so used cheddar, peas a cottage cheese.

I am not hungry, but fancy some afters. Can’t decide between a miri magnum and a yogurt.

AdoraBell · 27/09/2023 20:13

Did the chicken with tomato sauce with carrots and potatoes. Tomorrow I’ll make curry with chicken.

AlwaysPrettyOnTheInside · 28/09/2023 08:45

I didn't have chips yesterday, I had pork chop, rice with sweetcorn & butter in and salad.

Deciding what to have today, I've got chicken wings, diced pork, pork chops, or mince in the freezer 🤔I'm thinking tandoori chicken wings and salad 😛

BooAutumniscoming · 28/09/2023 18:15

I'm roasting chicken legs, baby potatoes and carrots.

Will do peas and yourkshire puds to go with it. I wanted to make stuffing but have no butter and have covid so can't go out.

mbosnz · 28/09/2023 18:54

I'm particularly proud of this one, even my mother might approve. Chicken casserole, which contains therein, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, courgette, and celery, as well as spinach. Along side that, roasted pumpkin, kumara, and parsnip. To go with that, mashed potatoes, beans, broccoli, asparagus, carrots and brussel sprouts.

mbosnz · 28/09/2023 18:55

@MNetcurtains those lamb shanks look amazing!

AdoraBell · 28/09/2023 19:47

Chicken thighs cooked with potatoes and carrots, sauce made with mustard and pan juices. Delicious 😋

AlwaysPrettyOnTheInside · 28/09/2023 19:54

Mine turned into a fakeaway. Tandoori chicken wings, flatbreads, chips, onion bhaji's, all homemade.

Only thing missing was minty yoghurt sauce but I haven't got any mint sauce.

Thinking of having a glass of wine now 😂

What's for tea tonight?

They were every bit as good as they look. I reduced the amount of red wine as I was afraid it might make it a bit acrid.
