I love these threads and the weekend meals always sound so good.

DH & I are looking for inspiration. He’s helping my Dad wallpaper so hungry. While I need distracting from waiting to see if my period is going to arrive or if this the month to test.

So for dinner this Saturday night?

Pork loin cut into medallions with a cider and sage sauce.

Green beans tossed with butter and cubed roasted potatoes.

I’m having a lovely chicken tagine - but I’m currently in Marrakech 😂
DH will be having something boring like an omelette - he's a fussy eater.

Impatientwino · 06/04/2024 19:04

Homemade meatballs in a thick Spanish style tomato and red pepper sauce with cubed roast potatoes, toasted bread with homemade garlic butter and a tomato and shallot salad. Fizz to start and lots of some red with our meal.

Double carbs but who cares!

A beige selection of oven chips, chicken goujons and breaded fish tomorrow to balance out the universe Easter Grin we're getting away for a few days on Monday so trying to use all the fridge stuff up. Only veg on offer will be whatever's left!

Steak ciabatta, chunky chips, mushrooms and onion rings with choux buns for after 😋

PippetyPoppetyPie · 06/04/2024 19:06

Sausage, mash and peas with onion gravy. 5yo DS’s request as he’s been poorly this week and not fancied much to eat.

Hatty65 · 06/04/2024 19:06

Duck breasts, french fries and asparagus. Pretty quick and easy.

LindorDoubleChoc · 06/04/2024 19:11

Jacket potatoes, tuna mayo with spring onion and celery, green salad. Got some lovely ripe cantaloupe melon to have later.

Been away on holiday and am craving simple food, veg and salads after eating out every night for 2 weeks.

MumChp · 06/04/2024 19:11

Sushi

YouBelongWithMe · 06/04/2024 19:13

We had creamy fajita pasta.

Kids chose a tub of ice cream and we made ice cream sundaes with skooshy cream and salted caramel M&Ms for Saturday night treat.

SomethingFun · 06/04/2024 19:14

M & s Chinese - back on the homemade, upf free wagon tomorrow 😊

thankyouforthedayz · 06/04/2024 19:17

@TheFairyCaravan us too, these short weeks at work are exhausting, same work one less day. Im having my go to Tofu in green pepper and black bean sauce

Oldraver · 06/04/2024 19:22

Moroccan lamb with couscous (rice for DS), with accomplishments

Sainsbury's are doing the half price lamb again and a full leg is way too much for us three, so I cut the top 4" off and freeze it as a flat piece of meat

We now have a specific saw blade for cutting through the bone 😁

ureterr1blemuriel · 06/04/2024 19:26

We had a really random mixture of bits (some pre-prepared and some homemade) - reads weird but worked well somehow. Had to include some plainer stuff for my 9yo

Charlie Bigham’s Mexican Chicken (would deffo recommend)
Tomato bruschetta
Gambas pil pil (prob put too much chilli in for the kids 🙈)
Butter beans & chorizo
Rack of ribs
Salad
Margherita Pizza for DS

A Lindt egg for pudding but am having a break first!

doitwithlove · 06/04/2024 19:30

Having started a new book I cannot put down, going to make omelette & salad with rose wine as refreshment.

Passthecoffee · 06/04/2024 19:35

We had breakfast for dinner - bacon, sausages, eggs, beans and toast 😋

A bit of a can't be bothered, raid the fridge dinner.

Toastandbutterand · 06/04/2024 19:53

Carbonara and garlic bread.

Both the kids popped round, which was really nice.

Mogloveseggs · 06/04/2024 19:55

Piri piri chicken stirfry from the butchers with extra roasted veg on a flatbread.

YouwouldthinkIhavemoresense · 06/04/2024 19:57

Sirloin steaks on BBQ, prawns in a garlic and lemon butter sauce , corn on the cobs with lashings of butter, roasted tomatoes, green salad and spicy wedges with fajita seasoning and a paprika dip.

It was bloody delicious.
