Happy Friday!

I'm making DIY egg fried rice with whatever is left in the fridge chucked in.

House to myself which is a treat, so trying to resist the very strong urge to get a takeaway for one.. as I have no self control and eyes bigger than my stomach!

What's everyone having? I need to be inspired for tomorrow..!

Can I have your savoy cabbage recipe please?

sure, but let me preface this by saying I’ve never made this before- we just have a cabbage in so was looking for easy ways to use it

its literally just chopped up savoy cabbage in a vinaigrette of dijon mustard, white wine ginger, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper :) I shall give it a whirl and try to remember to come back to this thread and let you know the results!

I need a nice recipe for pulled pork please! We tried it once and weren’t keen but I can’t remember why. I think it might have been too sweet.

Smoked mackerel carbonara (healthier than it sounds!)

NashvilleQueen · 13/09/2024 16:38

I'm going to make some sort of sticky spicy cauliflower with rice and tender stem broccoli. Maybe something else on the side. I'll have a think

Just texted DP asking if he wants to pick a takeaway up on his way home even though I'm just about to go and do a food shop. But I think it's the law that you can't do the big shop AND cook on the same day 😂

Just need to decide whether to go Chinese, Indian or pizza now....

Beef fried rice with spring rolls and prawn crackers, warm lemon sponge and custard for after.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 13/09/2024 16:47

Thai curry, really don't fancy it but have defrosted the chicken now.

Choosetolivelife · 13/09/2024 16:47

Kids: pasta

Us: leftover homemade Thai curry with mango rice

Unforgettablefire · 13/09/2024 16:49

I'm having a beyond burger in a warbutons roll with a bit of salad. Potato wedges and salad cream, and I may sprinkle some cheese on the top with some jalapenos.
Ultra unhealthy but delicious.

Ohmych · 13/09/2024 16:54

We're having some noodles with steak tonight.

Midante · 13/09/2024 16:56

Home made white bean pesto, pasta, pancetta.

I say pesto, I'm sure it's nothing like actual pesto but it's cheap and delicious.

FLOWER1982 · 13/09/2024 16:58

Homemade bacon and mushrooms quiche and salad. I’m getting food envy now 😋

Sheknowsaboutme · 13/09/2024 17:00

Indian take away. For one! Bliss!

AutumnNymph · 13/09/2024 17:01

I was in the mood for pav bhaji today, so that's what we are having, along with some brioche buns. It's one of the few ways to get veggies into DD who is autistic and is super picky

Cooking reluctantly, went to look at the menu for the pizza place in the village and they’ve suddenly shut down! Probably just something basic, got some leek and potato soup in the freezer so probably that!

Lyn29 · 13/09/2024 17:03

Made a curried chicken and rice and have a bottle of fizz chilling in the fridge!

HeddaGarbled · 13/09/2024 17:04

I’ve got some chicken thighs marinating in soy sauce, garlic & paprika and they’ll go in a baking tray with potatoes, courgette and red peppers for about half an hour. Will have with salad and a big dollop of Hellmans. I’m hoping there’ll be some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

troppibambini6 · 13/09/2024 17:04

Chilli for three of us
Sausage and mash for two of us
What ever dd wants when she gets in.

Monkeybutt1 · 13/09/2024 17:06

Homemade meatballs with spaghetti and garlic pizza bread, DS who is 11 has announced he's cooking with DH so I get a night off.
Tomorrow night is Asda CYO Pizzas so not the healthiest of weekends 😁
Just done some cleaning so might get a shower, get a gin and watch some more of the Perfect Couple

WhiteTowel · 13/09/2024 17:06

I batch cooked today but we just ordered a pizza 😅 i feel like i needed a reward after all that work and washing up!

MinorTom · 13/09/2024 17:07

Just had a sausage sarnie well not really a sarnie because it was on a sourdough roll. It really hit the spot.

Day99 · 13/09/2024 17:07

Roast chicken, broccoli and a salad. Raspberry trifle from the shop as a dessert.

SaltandPepper22 · 13/09/2024 17:19

DH is ordering a kebab. I’m going to pick at odd bits from the fridge and cupboards until I find what hits the spot…and probably a few pieces of his doner

dontforgetme · 13/09/2024 17:22

Chicken fajitas with spicy rice and salad.

I really want KFC though.

dontforgetme · 13/09/2024 17:23

@FLOWER1982 oh that sounds YUM!
