What did you have for dinner?

[LightsAndBaubles]

We finished off the ham with mash, peas, carrots and parsley sauce.

No turkey today!!!

We were out so I had a chicken, pepper and pesto wrap and it was lovely. Dh made a dry for the kids and they had waffles out

Spag Bol for dinner tonight. Just using some of the stuff in The freezer so we can refil it ready for January.

Chicken Tandoori Masala Curry with rice.

We had another Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. And I’m so glad because I was poorly and couldn’t eat my official one on Weds!

Lamb saag, had roast lamb yesterday with all the trimmings (felt like I didn't enjoy Christmas dinner as much after cooking for more than a dozen people) , a large leg of lamb for 2 adults and a 6 year old so there was loads left for a curry today

Nothing exciting just macaroni cheese about to be followed up with fruit and ice cream

We are scraping the bottom of the left overs barrel.

A small buffet of....Mexican dips & doritos, sliced turkey & stuffing, re heated roast carrots & toast.
Followed by an apple.

Will need to get creative with loads of sprouts to use up & sausage meat. We can pick at the christmas cake.

Stovies, they weren’t as good as my pops make but they were tasty filling and I just wanted plain scran after all the fancy stuff.

Cooked pork roast for lunch so had leftovers for dinner.

Cod fillets with herbs, butter and panko breadcrumbs on top, cooked in the oven on a bed of onion slices with chips (homemade) cooked in the oven and asparagus and green beans

lunch was left over mutar paneer and nann from dinner last night

main evening meal was ikea plant balls (meat balls for him) bought frozen from their food hall earlier in the year with kfc like gravy which is a great substitute (because we had run out of the ikea gravy packets) with skin on chips and peas.

then at about 9pm we had hickory smoked nuts and margaritas YUM!

Soup and breadsticks!

Cheese and crackers washed down with Bolly

Can you post a recipe please 🙏 sounds lovely!

I had beef sandwiches in oven bottom breadcakes, with caramelised onion chutney and a pint mug of Heinz tomato cup a soup! And a packet of Walkers ready salted!
I have caught "the man flu" so that was ok for me!
Planning a roast gammon dinner for NYD. If I'm up to it!

A very hearty turkey soup with the stock made properly from the carcass (stock and turkey scraps frozen until i could be bothered making the soup). And cheese on crumpets with it, divine!

We just had a bog standard Spag Bol with garlic bread and salad. It was the first time we’ve s really sat at the table to eat a meal together since Christmas Day, we’ve all just been grazing to various degrees.

Scallop mornay, black pudding bon bons, chips and peas. It was Lush! Pudding was two Lindt chocolates.

I made a valliant attempt to rid the fridge of all remaining leftovers, so I made a sausage and vegetable casserole using pigs in blankets, carrots, onions and parsnips, along with a random yellow pepper I found. We had that with mash and I bravely followed it up with my own body weight in Maltesers, a piece of shortbread and a triangle of the huge gold Toblerone. The dessert was a mistake and I now feel really sick.
I have failed to completely clear the fridge but only have a punnet of raspberries and about a litre of double cream left. So all told, pretty impressive.

Cheese and biscuits with melon and mango. Yum!

Homemade vegetarian chilli with lots of different veg and beans, served with rice, tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole with a large glass of red wine. Followed with some chocolate florentines, which are pretty addictive…

Cheese Crispy Pancakes and Southern Fried Fries 🤤

Gammon hock, mash, green veg, cheese sauce. All ready to cook type things from Asda and it was lovely!

Salad with hot smoked salmon and avocado followed by mountains of cheese and biscuits!

Mushroom curry, dhal, rice
