What's for dinner?

[everlastingpanini]

Today I am home 2 hours earlier than anticipated so have decided to treat us all with a 'proper' meal (rather than a rushed one).

Salata tricolore
Steak with mushroom sauce, wedges and green beans
grilled fresh apricots with honey and vanilla ice cream
cheese board with grapes and walnuts

Undoubtedly the Dcs will moan and ask why they aren't having pesto pasta with peas and DH will say; 'Do we have to sit at the table, I'm knackered and want to watch The Simpsons' but until either of those things happen I am going to pretend that we are a sophisticated European family like what exists in my fantasies.

What is everyone else having?

Steak pie (yellow sticker bargain) with a jug of gravy on the side of course 😁, garlic and herb baby potatoes and peas. Easy tea after a day sorting through DC's clothes as both have had growth spurts

Oh i love steak pie.

Mousakka! Yummmmmm

Oooo steak on a Monday, what a treat!
It’s cannelinni beans in roasted tomato and pepper sauce with ricotta and some sausages. Bit of a fridge raid dinner!

Mmmmm........moussaka

@GoldieMam that is a very elegant fridge raid!

Mousaka! I'd forgotten about that meal. Must reintroduce it to our diet again.

We're having bacon egg and chips - gammon steak from the local farm shop and homemade chips done in the airfryer.

Nowhere near as fancy for us!

We're having chicken kiev with fries and peas.

Oh yours sounds amazing!

We are having home made chicken kebab skewers with garlic and coriander flat breads (got to muster the energy to make those yet), chips and salad.

DH and I are having Wagyu burgers and he will have sweet potato fries. The burger and bun is near on 1000 cals and for calorie counting me, it will be standalone today!
Kids are having pasta and garlic bread with broccoli.

Chicken in creamy cider sauce, homemade oven chips, sugarsnap peas and broccoli.

Egg fried rice and Chinese chicken drumsticks

Leek and mushroom pie with honey roasted carrots and broccoli on the side.

We've just got back from a long weekend in Cornwall and it's taking a lot of willpower to not order a takeaway!

Salata tricolore

Is this salad? What are the three colours made up of?

ooh. I am putting this on my list for tomorrow!

Macaroni cheese with veggies, and h/m apple crumble to follow. Cheap, easy and filling and liked by all.

It's tomato, buffalo mozzarella and sliced avocado. It's my ultimate favourite salad. (Mainly because I'm not a fan of salad).

Oyster chicken, rice and steamed veg

Forgot to say - we are having tagliolini with a sauce made of cherry tomatoes and pancetta - yep, fridge raid for us too as I cba to go to the supermarket.

I am impressed with such lovely fridge raids. I am not particularly creative so tend to resort to cheese on toast for a fridge raid!

I am in Italy so there is always some pasta lurking somewhere!

Lamb kebabs and salad in flatbreads. Now i have chip envy and may have to add them in too!

Meatballs in gravy with cheesy mash and broccoli. Not very interesting or weather appropriate!

It's dd3's first A level tomorrow so her dinner of choice tonight is chicken,bacon and mushroom pasta in a creamy sauce.

Spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread
