What’s your favourite meal to cook or eat in the house?

[Clumsywithwords]

Looking for inspiration as we seem to have got ourselves into a bit of a rut with dinner ideas, particularly those that might want to put a bit more effort into

Aside from staple meals (ie spag bol, fajitas, sausage and mash etc) what safe your special and and favourite meals to eat and cook in the house?

Sausage, potato & veg tray bake with honey & whole grain mustard.

Nasi goreng with poached egg on top

Creamy bacon & garlic chicken with penne pasta or tagliatelle

Home made Nandos chicken pitta with chips.

Fry up always goes down a treat

Chicken and halloumi skewers with salad

Honey soy and sesame chicken with egg fried rice.

Jacket potato with choice of topping

Tortilla pizza with wedges

I'm a big fan of a chicken thigh traybake with any leftover veg in the fridge - tonight it's tomatoes, red pepper, spinach & potatoes mix with some olive oil, dried oregano and chilli flakes and then sprinkled with some feta that's been laying about.

Also, oven baked risottos are a bit of a mid-week staple here (there's a good recipe on BBC Good Food and I use those same ratios with whatever I fancy adding).

If I have a bit more time for kitchen pottering then:

Basically anything by Diana Henry, it would seem....

Chorizo and chickpea casserole is a favourite in our house, we also love Delias chicken basque, Thai prawn curry, spaghetti carbonara. I also love a cooked breakfast for dinner.

This gnocchi recipe from Elly Pear on Instagram. I've made it loads, is so easy and delicious https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3HtAhKNGvT/?igsh=MXVreXdvd3NoMjhmaQ==

Chilli con carne or creamy mushroom chicken with mash

The Hairy Biker's Spicy Pork & Rice from their diet book. When I fancy cooking something that will keep me in the kitchen a while, but not too difficult I always go for this one. It serves 4 but never survives the first night because we scoff it all!

We make this too! But with beef strips. Shake the meat in cornflower before frying for extra crispy stickiness.

We like a kitchari, or a chorba- both basic veg stews really but interesting flavours and very nutritious. Top with kefir/crispy onions/coriander.

My favourite meal to eat is Chinese takeaway!

Cooking wise, I like easy stuff with not much to tidy away. Lasagna is quite easy.

Egg Delhi style curry

Carribbean patties
Louisiana Cajun sausage and rice

But some evenings it's a tinned tomato soup and garlic bread type of evening

If I am alone peanut butter on toast

We also like a fruit salad in fridge

Homemade potato salad/coleslaw with burgers piled with salad and sauces, could call them dirty burgers

Bloody fabulous recipe! Thank you for reminding me about it.

Ooh.. that hairy bikers one looks good!

Teriyaki salmon with rice
Beef Stroganoff made with Quorn beef strips

@Monkeybutt1 I don't like kidney beans so swapped them for haricot so it was more like baked beans

6 beef shortribs. chuck them in a casserole dish with light and dark soya sauce, juice and zest of one orange, brown sugar, whole spring onions, ginger and garlic slices, chinese five spice powder. then cook until meat falling off bone. I shred the meat, mix with hoisin sauce and stuff then into bao buns (m&s does premade ones but not too hard to make at home) with strips of cucumber and spring onion.

really great for dinner parties too

@Crabble so good a reminder it's on the hob for dinner tonight!

This is epic! Just finished eating it, definitely making again.

Penne pasta with peas and prawns with Hellmans or a Caesar dressing added.

Sun dried tomato chicken and courgettes. All in one tin in the oven with dried herbs and garlic. Serve with garlic bread. In the autumn it gets rid of tonnes of courgettes which always seem to grow in a glut all at once.
it’s also yummy
