What were the last three meals you or your partner cooked for the family?

[Embelline]

I’ve come back from holiday and lost my mojo. Trying to get ahead and plan for the week and running out of inspiration. I like cooking from scratch - this week I’ve made slow cooker lamb ragu, beef and lentil curry. But I seem to be leaning towards red meat a lot and trying to break that habit so looking for inspiration!

Tonight we're making pork tonkatsu with curry and rice from scratch. I normally do all of the cooking as I am a better cook than my husband (though he is still good!) but right now I have all day morning sickness so he's been doing pretty much everything .

Last two meals before today were fish and chips and veggie pasta. Totally uninspiring there but we've been trying to find meals that are easy and quick for him to cook after work.

Pasta with vegetable sauce (onion, garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, courgette, broccoli, end of a tin of sweetcorn-also red wine, olive oil and salt)

Chicken xim xim with rice and veg

Vegetable stir fry

Thai red curry...chicken and sweet potato.

Mushroom pasta

Fish and chips... homemade

Tortilla wrap pizzas
Stir fry chicken
Veggie chilli

So nothing wildly exciting or inspiring I'm afraid.

fish and chips.

burritos

duck cassoulet

Batch coking earlier this week I made:

Macaroni cheese
Chilli con carne
Shakshuka (just the base, ready to reheat and add the eggs)

Also made a Moroccan lentil soup, but that's for my lunch.

Roasted red pepper pasta
sausage rolls and mash
beef curry

@KevinHoho Oh I haven't made XinXim for aggggges.

Steak and chips
chicken curry
Chicken wraps and chips.

Chicken chow mein with egg noodles.
Meatballs with BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes.
Sausage casserole

Thai curry (veg)
Pizza
Spaghetti bolognese
Not very inspiring I'm afraid but they were all very nice! I'm trying to cook once, eat twice as much as possible and these a pretty good for that. I made enough tomato sauce for another 2 pizza nights, there was left over pizza for dh to take to work for lunch and leftover coleslaw for my lunch. I did a big batch of Thai paste and the rest has gone into the freezer, same with the bolognese sauce.

Bangers and mash
Lasagna (leftovers for tonight)
Next I'm planning chicken and sweetcorn soup

We've had cauliflower and broccoli cheese with crusty bread and butter, battered chicken with egg fried rice and sweet and sour sauce and prawn crackers and a spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread

Macaroni cheese (nigellas express recipe)
chicken madras
Chilli and rice

pork silverbeet stew (me), stir fry (Dh) , tacos (nanny)

Curried chicken & baked dhal
Pasta & veggie sauce
Sausage & veg casserole

Spiced potato and lentil cakes with avocado and pickles
Roasted butternut squash and fennel pasta
Sausage, pepper and butter bean casserole

Fish and homemade chips

• with mushy peas of course!

Chicken breast in a marinade with veg and croquettes

Carbonara pasta bake garlic bread and a green salad

My cholesterol is a bit high so I've been substituting beef mince with turkey mince. So far it's worked with lasagne, chilli con carne, burgers and meatballs (not all in one week though). Last 3 meals I cooked were; tuna pasta bake, chilli fajitas (with the turkey mince) & Chinesey chicken stir fry

Toad-in-the-hole
Beef ragu
Roast beef

I don't usually do beef two days in a row; wasn't paying attention.

Depending on what arrives in our vege box today, the rest of the week will include roast chicken, risotto or jollof, and maybe homemade pizzas on Sunday. There'll likely be a freezer meal on Friday or Saturday.

Pork Stroganoff
Chicken curry
Asian cod & noodles one pot (nadiya hussein recipe)

Tonight is fish pie

Japanese curry and rice (can make it with fried aubergine in as alternative to meat).

Baked salmon with new potatoes and veg.

Pie (from the shop), mash and veg.

Pork tenderloin with stir fry veg and noodles. And I made a basic Satay sauce - coconut milk, lime, curry powder, soy, peanut butter, coriander.

Salmon cooked in baking paper in the oven, with roasted squash and beetroot.

Beef brisket in slow cooker. 1st night we had it with veg and made some gravy, 2nd night had it with rice and stir fry veg.

Home made Puttanesca Spaghetti (tomato glut)
A Spanish-influenced butter bean, butternut squash and tomato stew (lots of tomatoes….)
Tomato and lentil soup with sourdough toast.

Really enjoying puttanesca sauce. We usually make Spaghetti a la Norma. Not veggie but eat a lot of veggie meals for cost and health (Puttanesca is not veggie, it has anchovy in it).

Lasagne and salad
Sausages with potato wedges and Boston baked beans
Salmon and broccoli pasta
