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

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!

Beans on toast
home made pizza
chicken fajitas (el paso mix!)

There is myself, dh, plus dd7 and dd4 so nothing too exotic here or the kids won't eat it.

Monday we have cottage pie with tenderstem broccoli

Tuesday we have vegetable enchildas

Cauliflower, coconut, cashew and pea curry - a mild and easy to make vegetable curry. Feels like comfort food

Loaded root veg wedges with mojo verde and tahini yoghurt - roasted carrot, potato and parsnip, blended coriander parsley, chilli, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, and mixed 2 tablespoons of tahini into 100g Greek yogurt

Shawarma-inspired cauliflower and sweet potato bowls - roasted cauliflower, broccoli and sweet potato in a spice mix and served with the same tahini yogurt as above, quick pickled onions, grated carrot and cherry tomatoes.
