What did you have for dinner?

[CatteryCatss]

We had vegetarian burgers, chips and Caesar salad. What about you?

I buy the shawarma mix or paste (I think the mix is better). It always turns out good (I don’t think I’d bother making my own to be honest).

I have already googled 😁 I’m going to make it, it’s the kind of dish we’d like.

Pistachio pesto 'shakshuka' with peas, broad beans and edamame plus very cheesy garlic ciabatta.

A cup of pea soup and the leftover of buttered tomato pasta, it was very nice.

Marry me chicken and rice

Unauthentic shepherds pie. Lots of veg in it , was really nice.

And m&s chicken chow mein from the hospital shop. It was very nice tasted almost home made
Also a mini raspberry trifle

Meatball pasta bake 😋

I love a food thread! I made Toad in the hole (taming twins foolproof recipe) which I can't recommend enough, mash with lots of cheese and butter added, peas broccoli and onion gravy. One meal that everyone likes which is rare!

Half a veggie pizza and salad.

Mainly because there wasn't a vegetable in sight and I know if I keep eating like I'm eating this week I'll feel bleugh. It was delicious though to be fair!

Christmas roast with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pudding.

We have had Christmas Day today as we missed it in December.

It's not yet dinnertime here, but we're having chili with minced turkey, black beans, and corn.

I made aubergine curry and an apple stewed with cinnamon for dessert. I’m on the HB diet.

Chinese

Pad Thai

Penne with mushrooms, spinach, pine nuts, smoked salmon and mascarpone.

Chicken and leek pie, mashed potatoes, and peas. None of it home-made.

I’d love a Chinese right now!

Homemade chicken biriyani with side salad and some chicken pakoras on the side

I'm alone tonight so made all the things I love and husband hates, so they don't go really together much but I had a good time.

Honey mustard charred cabbage, Vietnamese tomato egg drop soup, Ca kho to (catfish in a caramelised salty sauce), spicy rice, and stuffed grape leaves.

Homemade leek and potato (with extra veg chucked in too) soup, with buttered bread and Tesco finest beef dripping chips 🤤 so good. We have leftovers for lunch tomorrow and then dinner tomorrow is Chinese takeaway which we haven’t had for ages but we are celebrating (kind of.)

Getting lots of good meal ideas here!

Homemade chicken balti, cauliflower rice and chapatis

Chilli dogs- hotdogs topped with chilli, cheese, crispy onions, jalapeños, but just in bits, so people made their own. Coleslaw and corn on the cob. Also, I did some rice for those who just wanted chilli. Everyone helped themselves (except the baby who I cooled some corn, chilli and rice for)

Salmon en croute with watercress sauce, with Jaffa cakes for pudding. All lovely!
