What's on the menu at yours today?

Feels properly autumnal here so have fired up the slow cooker and a nice bit of beef is having a leisurely red wine bath. Yorkshire puddings and roasties with a load of veg for dinner early evening is the plan and I'm going to treat myself to a nice bottle of red to sip a glass of whilst prepping and doing the Sunday papers crossword.
Anyone else feeling the need for comfort food or are some of you clinging onto summer by your fingertips 😂

Have opened the red
Spot of batch cooking done and have made a couple of lemon drizzle cake.
dinner soon
lush Sunday afternoon

We’re having a butternut squash, lentil, spinach and coconut milk stew. I will be serving it with rice.

Lunch was a pizza from the freezer. I was so busy in the garden that I didn’t want to cook!

Some an hour in the local with the Waitrose mag. Planning some meals for the week ahead. So far chicken pie this evening, maybe a squash soup for tomorrow, will make Ragu for a meal then freeze portions. Some nice ideas in the Waitrose mag this weekend

I do quite often do a roast, but nothing at all Sunday-ish today.

We’re having pasta thing I once adapted from an M&S ready meal - a tin of (flaked) salmon plus broccoli florets in a white sauce - but I add a good splash of white wine and some grated cheese to the sauce.

Plenty of broccoli, mix all together with cooked penne. Very tasty.

Do is doing a whole chicken on the barbecue. We'll have it with barbecued sweet corn, pak choi and steamed baby potatoes. CanMt wait!

Roast chicken roast for us with all the trimmings! With vanilla cupcakes for pudding as we did some baking with our 4 year old DS

Leftover curry (chicken, cauliflower and spinach) with nan bread. Was supposed to have bread and butter pudding .... but mistakenly left it at our caravan (gggrrrr)

How long do you cook the venison for and at what temperature please? It sounds a lovely meal. What wine do you have with that?

Sandwiches and hot chocolate for lunch as we went on hike with the kids in backpacks, beef and carrots stew for dinner tonight to warm up a bit after a long day outside!

This is the recipe I use for the venison.

I normally use a Shiraz but a good Merlot is also nice.

We went out for the ottolenghi special pizza at yard sale pizza - both the meat and veggie were delicious and I'm still full six hours and four miles walking later...

Roast butternut squash, onions and peppers and baked Camembert. ‘Twas yummy and even the DC enjoyed it.

No lunch today, we had eggs and avocado on toast for brunch this morning.
We had butternut squash too for dinner, with chicken, bacon, onion and spinach in a creamy sage sauce with mash. Warm and comforting.

Thank you. Those recipes look good and I shall try them soon.

Creamy chicken and leek casserole with mashed potatoes and greens

Fish tacos with all the trimmings, and margaritas

Fish pie and peas.

Today we are either having homemade tomato and red pepper soup with cheese and ham rolls or potato rosti with sour cream and dill. Actually one will be for lunch I expect.

This week on the agenda is stuffed mushrooms and chicken teriyaki stirfry.

Fish Pie for lunch

Party tea for tea, birthday cake for pudding.

Early pub lunch after a muddy dog walk, they do great roasts at this pub so that's the road I'll go down. Big slow cooked jacket potatoes for dinner with lots of toppings

I had beef stew last night and the left overs are becoming meat and potato pie today.

Homemade scotch broth.
Vienneta with raspberries.
Homemade banana cinnamon bread with coffee or tea.

I’ve made a chunky lentil and vegetable soup. Not sure what else we’ll be having.

Beef casserole with Parmesan dumplings

Not sure, my food delivery arrived at 8am and I went to the butchers yesterday so possibilities are endless.

I wanted some liver, not sure if DC will eat it but they're anaemic and tired and I though't I'd try it and see. So, could be lambs liver with smoked bacon, red wine and juniper berries. I also bought a 2lb piece of shin so I could make chilli and freeze half.

I'm going to make celery and stilton soup for lunch. Have already made bread (well my breadmaker did overnight).

I think I'll make a steamed chocolate pudding too because I opened a jar of compote yesterday and need an excuse not to waste it!

Definitely a day in here today including cooking and eating, the weather is vile.
