It’s wet and windy outside. What’s for dinner?

As above. What are you having tonight?

I’ve just started cobbling together a leek and chicken pie using an assortment of freezer odds and ends.

I’m making a gorgeous haddock, leek & parmesan risotto - a family favourite, worth the tedious stirring! 🤣

Wet and windy, we are walking to a turkish restaurant @

Steak, cavolo Nero, and dauphinoise potatoes.

Paneer curry and naan

GOAT curry, as requested by DS. No actual goats involved; it's a kind of korma-ish chicken curry with almond butter in it. DS says it's his absolute favourite, hence the name.

DH and I had dinner (some pasta with tuna and a jarred sauce) for lunch. He's supposed to be at a Christmas meal, tonight but I'll be surprised if it goes ahead because it's rough.

The boys will get sausages for dinner. Probably as sandwiches the way the local power cuts are going.

We're having a roast, I think. And roasting gammon and chicken with it to make into a pie tomorrow.

I'm trying to empty the freezer to fill it with Christmas stuff, so we're eating all of the big items from it!

Pizza,garlic bread and potato wedges and whatever else is lurking in the freezer.

Cheese burgers and wedges for us tonight. I make them like a burger king whopper with cheese.

Greek meatballs in tomato sauce with feta on top, couscous and side salad plus olives

Braised lamb shanks with port and rosemary sauce. Along with mash and roasted parsnips.

Lasagne , everyone’s favourite but I detest making it. I always therefore make 2 so one for tonight and one for the freezer. I’m now sat down with a glass of the red wine I used reading my book.

Veggie shepherds pie with cheesy mash

Pork and cider casserole with baked cheesy mash and caraway cabbage.

Big, fat, quarter pounders. Done as 'Dirty Burgers' with bacon, cheese and fried onions. Will pop some sliced tomatoes in them for vitamins 😬 It's cold and crap outside so I want comfort junk food.

A big Greek salad, the chicken has been marinating since this morning, peppers, cucumber, lettuce, onions, olives and feta with a lovely creamy sauce and loads of herbs, salt and pepper.

Everyone's sounds so lovely!

I'm thinking takeaway. The power's been gone since last night and I'm not sure if it will be back. Also, I was away last night and I won't have time to shop and cook.

Our meal feels quite dull by comparison but we are having sausage, mash and beans for dinner followed by Angel Cake.

This sounds gorgeous!

Would you be able to share the recipe please?

I'm on the East coast and it's not actually windy but definitely wet.

DD is making Mac and Cheese but with gnocchi with bacon lardons. And then baking brownies for dessert

Bosh bean chilli with nachos. 😋

That sounds lush

Chicken and chorizo pasta, with salad.

Chinese tonight! Can’t wait. It’s a rare treat these days (both for the insane amount it costs and the family health kick we’re all on)
