Chinese I think

Or maybe hot and spice chicken. Wedges and cold slaw. I'm home alone and feeling poorly so can have whatever I fancy!

Chinese does require me to get dressed and collect though Confused

Something with chicken livers to start

Steak, potatoes wedges and peas with whatever sauce hubby makes

Sticky toffee pudding

WongKarTie · 09/11/2024 15:36

Salt and pepper tofu, mushroom fried rice, and bok Choi in chilli and garlic sauce.

PieEllaBakewell · 09/11/2024 15:39

Sausages, crushed baby potatoes, veg. Maybe red wine gravy. 🤔 Not sure any wine left.......

What? A house with no wine. Can't be true!
Anyway, I came here for inspo as my shopping came this morning but I can't think of anything interesting to make.

PieEllaBakewell · 09/11/2024 15:51

Oh, there is, half bottle left. Whew! Small slug in the gravy then, the rest in glasses.

I was running late, so did a spiced chickpea and sweet potatoe traybake with other veg chucked in there then crumbled feta on top.

Quick and easy then while roasting got everyone sorted.

Steak with sweet potato fries, fried egg and a watercress & Stilton salad.

momager1 · 09/11/2024 17:04

Chinese fakeaway as there are no chinese takeaways in this country!! So, teriyaki chicken, chicken fried rice, beef chop suey, and chinese peppers mix with bacon. Yum. So easy and costs 1/4 to make of the takeaway we used to buy in Canada

RamblasTapas · 09/11/2024 17:04

Home made burgers for us tonight, served with wedges and slaw.

SvenskHaxa · 09/11/2024 17:04

These all sound delicious.

We are having a Greek theme. Marinated lamb, flatbreads, Greek salad, dolmades, baklava.

EmpressaurusDelleGatte · 09/11/2024 17:08

Tofu in a really easy za’atar & molasses marinade with sweet potato chips, peppers & mushrooms, all done in the air fryer.
