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!

Monday - Fish pie (left over from the weekend)

Tuesday - Beef and ale stew with rice

Last night - Broccoli and smoke salmon pasta

Tonight we will be having this - https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/smoked_mackerel_pilau_66783

Our last 3 dinners were:

Monday - roast chicken and trimmings (leftover from Sunday)
Tuesday - spag bol and g bread
Wednesday - pork loins cooked until it pulled apart in a kind of improvised sauce of brown sugar, soy, veg stock, honey, ginger, garlic and Chinese 5 spice. With mash potato, sweet potato, green beans, broccoli and peas.

Tonight I’ve got some mash potato squash to use up so going to make cottage pie I think with a squash topping.
