I've got time today to pop to the shops and put a stew or something in the oven.
It's so cold today, so the idea of the oven on, slow cooking something is appealing.

Im here seeking inspiration and trying to find some joy in this freezing weather.

We had salad! It was lovely but not what I was expecting when DH said he'd sort dinner out! 🤣

Salad? SALAD? I think divorce would be on the cards if DP had given me a salad last night!

We had beef bourguignon in the slow cooker last night with celeriac mash. Was lush!

I think tonight might be risotto with spicy grilled halloumi on top

Venison chilli

I made chicken casserole with barley, carrots, leeks, chestnut mushrooms, peas, fresh herbs and sneaked in some shredded sprouts. DS said it was the nicest he'd ever tasted - I didn't tell him about the added sprouts.

I made lentil and vegan sausage casserole. It had turnip, onion, petit pois, carrots, fresh turmeric, garlic, ginger,Celtic salt, black pepper, leek, mixed herbs and two pints of water.

Hairy Bikers sausage casserole with butcher sausages 🤤

Tonight we're having pizza and salad due to the fact that I want something a bit lighter and only two of us in. Last few days we've had roast veggies and salmon, chilli pasta bake and mushroom stroganoff (that's to a suggestion on here!).

DancingDangerously · 10/01/2024 12:01

We're eating quite lightly atm as we did a lot of feasting over Christmas - yesterday we had prawn and courgette linguine and it was really nice to have something completely different from the very rich foods we've been having.

Cabeza · 10/01/2024 12:22

Was going to be some roast veg and greens and quinoa but feeling the cold so going for sweetcorn chowder.
Last night was mushroom korma.

No idea what's for tea tonight, but I've just made banana bread, ginger cake and mini egg cookies

OldTinHat · 10/01/2024 12:37

Salad! 😵‍💫

Haggis with neeps and tatties, plus Brussels sprouts, carrit's and a spot of gravy.

Oh this sounds delicious. Love haggis.

gwenneh · 10/01/2024 12:56

Most likely a risotto with chicken, bacon, and peas. DH wants me to batch cook some bolognaise but I don't think I have the patience for that much washing up during the week.

mrsbyers · 10/01/2024 12:57

Rice pudding for us , the skin is all mine

therealcookiemonster · 10/01/2024 13:00

having chicken meatball curry today (made by a friend) but last week I made a lovely dish of roasted butternut squash and sage orzo. I also made a butternut purée with mascarpone and topped it with roasted and the sautéed golden beetroot, kale, mushrooms and walnuts. and a parsnip and chestnut soup. all these were magical.

can I ask if you made the haggis from scratch or is there a brand you use? I would love to try it

TheChosenTwo · 10/01/2024 13:12

Saltimbocca but really just chicken breasts wrapped in Parma ham.
With sautéed potatoes, greens and sauce from the chicken (a sort of white wine, lemon and mustardy sauce mixed in with the chicken juice in the pan).

KickMyAssIntoGear · 10/01/2024 13:14

Bangers mash veg onion gravy

BenjaminBunnyRabbit · 10/01/2024 13:17

Root veg soup for lunch (homemade out of the freezer).

I'm going to make a slow cooker chilli this afternoon which we will have tomorrow.

Ozzbozz20 · 10/01/2024 13:23

Currently in the slow cooker is beef and broccoli (Asian dish) but broccoli actually only goes in 30 mins before the end! Delish!
