Friday Food - what's on the menu?

[FridgeJenga]

I finish work at 2pm so am already planning out my evening 😁
Really fancy a takeaway but can't decide between a Thai or an Indian.

What are you eating tonight?
And if you're having a takeaway, what's your order?

I really CBA with doing it eating much , DH wants a banana butty , so that's fine by me I might make some air fryer wedges with a fried egg for myself.

Just us (adults) at home, so there are various bits from the Ocado order this morning - cold meat, salad bits and nice bread and a bakewell tart with double cream.

It’s “what you’ve got in“ day so pasta bake is defrosting and bread and butter pudding is ready to go into the oven later . A bit carb heavy but pasta bake is a small one and some brioche leftovers needed to be used up.
The fridge is empty, I’ve missed usual Tuesday shopping trip and don’t fancy going out today.

I can't wait for dinner tonight, I'm making spinach and mozzarella filled gnocchi (when I say "making" it, it's the shop bought La Famiglia Rana one!) in a cheese sauce, with chicken breasts which I'll roast "in the bag" in the garlic seasoning and tender stem broccoli (I make it using the Nando's recipe!) so quick and easy to do it all but so delicious 😋

This just made me laugh out loud! I had the exact same craving during my last pregnancy, I used to think they were absolutely delicious and I couldn't wait to eat them again, I did the same as you and googled whether they even still existed 😂 finally managed to track some down in Iceland and they were so awful 😭 not at all how I remembered them or how I had built the amazing moment up in my head!! I really hope you have a better experience than me!

Something and oven chips.

Stew in oven for weekend.

I'm making a sort of Nandos takeaway, Peri Peri chicken and halloumi kebab, potato skins, corn on the cob, salad and coleslaw

I've been watching videos of a guy in Rotherham who makes amazing looking breakfast sandwiches.

So I thought I'd recreate one for my lunch.

I didn't even manage a quarter of it, feel rather sick, so will give my tea a miss tonight 😆

Burns dinner here tonight as well since we are going out for dinner tomorrow for a birthday

Either pizza made with ready made bases - probably one mixed veg with cheddar and buffalo mozzarella and one gorgonzola, walnuts, mushrooms and onions or possibly sushi from a posh supermarket where I am (non-uk) which is actually made quite freshly and is really good.

Kids are cooking, no idea!

meatballs and spaghetti

Not managed to get to the shops because of this bloody storm so it will be fishfingers (only got 3) gnocci with butter. Tomoato and smoked mackerel pasta. And garlic bread. And left over chaat. Hopefully that will be enough for the 5 of us... 3 are only tiny so hopefully it will stretch!

Made a steak and kidney pie. The mix is easy to do and then I freeze and top up with the ready made pastry. Serve with wedges and peas. Goes down well.

We're in red weather zone so all shops/schools are closed. Thankfully I picked up some Cajun chicken fillets last night so will make burgers with salad. Having a lovely chilled day!

Sausage and mash (and roast potatoes as I don't like mash) plus roasted carrots.

Supermarket pizzas and garlic bread for us - plus a movie and some snacks. This has become our Friday night ritual since DS started school in September 😄

Bacon eggs baked beans tomatoes and buttered toast followed by a Snickers. Washed down with a g&t

Naan pizzas here

smoked haddock tonight with rice and veggies.

I'm making prawn and chili linguine. A Friday favourite here.
Nice organic rose prosecco to go with it.

For us it will be chicken pie, mash, swede, peas and chicken gravy 😋

Faggots, mash and mushy peas. I might do cauliflower cheese instead of mash.

Waitrose pizzas that were on offer for dc. Fromage french pizza I have had in the freezer for ages for me. Usually make our own but it’s been a long week so…

@MassiveSalad22 my ds asked for that chicken dish this week. May try it on Sunday.

Also red zone so have been home along today. About to browse the cookbooks as for once have plenty of time to spend in the kitchen, will get the tunes on and open a nice white. Tesco is closed but I am hoping Aldi is open. It's still too wild to step foot outside but hoping it might die down in a couple of hours.
