What's for tea?

[lucysmam]

Nothing's screaming "EAT ME!!" from the freezer 🤔

Pulled gammon (been in the slow cooker all day ) , mash , peas and homemade parsley sauce . Proper comfort food which is much needed today with this awful weather .

On my own tonight for a change, so it was king prawn chow mein from the local Chinese takeaway. It was delish, and I wish I could afford to do it every Friday!

Banana porridge. I so CBA😂

Chippy tea...Friday after all! Fish,chips, gravy, mushies & tartar sauce 😋 cue lounging on the sofa afterwards in a food coma...

I made a chicken and lentil stew. I put a lot of garlic in it and it was very nice if I say so myself!

We had roast chicken with a paprika and garlic marinade; roast potatos; honey sesame carrots; roasted butternut squash with tarragon; leeks in cheese sauce; minted peas; courgettes with butter and lemon; onions stuffed with oregano and sausage meat and prosecco.

(I had a day off. I also had a nap).

Can't be bothered to cook, so it's fennel flavoured salami sandwich and a few olives, with chocolate raisins for pudding.

On my own - tagliatelle, drizzled with good dose of olive oil, chopped up fresh (room temp) beef tomato, lots of salt, crushed garlic clove and a new addition - some pickled onions - really nice! Topped with grated cheddar cheese.

Roasted Mediterranean veg pasta bake

I'm having a tray bake of cauliflower, courgettes, peppers and chicken tossed in a marinade made with black garlic paste. I've got some red onions pickling to sprinkle over the top.

Chicken adobo with rice (pic attached). I was dubious about the recipe - chicken marinated in vinegar and soy sauce didn't sound great - but went with it, and it's bloody lovely! Eating it now :)

Smoked haddock chowder and sourdough toast.

Wispa gold and crisps 😂

Peanut butter on toast, cheese and onion crisps followed by a satsuma!

@Inextremis I was the same the first time I tried Adobo. So much more delicious than it sounds!

Cod baked in paper with herbs and lemon, steamed broccoli, baby broad beans and new potatoes. And a glass of wine. Getting over flu and really craving very healthy, plain food - nothing fatty or heavy on sauce.

Chicken and seafood paella, thanks to DH

Roast chicken and caprese salad plus some mashed raspberries and scrambled egg that my 8month old didn’t finish 😂

I am going easy today

Dcs are having southern fried chicken fillets with a baked potato and cheese, frozen sweetcorn, frozen carrots and peas.

I am cooking up beef meatballs in a super spicy tomato sauce (gotta love Dolmios and a heavy hand with the chilli flakes) with rice, sour cream and guacamole.

None of it is from scratch, all comes out of a packet or a chiller cabinet or a jar. I'm not even making the red wine from scratch. I seriously cannot wait because today has been a total arse of a day.
