Dh and ds are having bbq but want it late as they’re hot. I’m shattered and need an earlier dinner as planning on being in bed by about 9 😂
can’t think what I want to eat, please inspire me!

Omelette or scrambled eggs on toast?? Salad maybe

Sirzy · 20/06/2025 17:50

I’m having quiche and salad I think. Just as soon as I can be bothered getting up to do it!

We are having a bbq

TheChosenTwo · 20/06/2025 18:00

Oh I might go with boiled eggs and soldiers.
But equally I’d like something really colourful and crunchy and fresh and salady. But cba to go to the shops and buy the required elements OR construct it!

Chicken gyros & flatbread with a pomegranate and tabbouleh salad plus halloumi fries. All courtesy of a Tesco trip to buy a summer duvet.

Seriously considering a takeaway - it's "Movie & Wine" night tonight for us and we're just trying to decide whether to cook or order.
The problem is, nearly every takeaway in our range is fat-loaded and I don't fancy a load of fat - I've also recently become a vegetarian and options for veggie food are almost non-existent unless you want chips and a Hollands cheese and onion pie or a cheese and tomato pizza ........ hmmmm, I think I'm talking myself into cooking!

TheChosenTwo · 20/06/2025 18:12

In the interest of full disclosure I woke up with a bit of a hangover this morning and ordered a pizza to be delivered at lunchtime 🫣
And I keep almost nodding off, I want to eat by no later than 7:30 and shower and bed immediately after! I rarely eat takeaways now, I’m on MJ and have probably had about 3 takeaways in 8 months so I’m not tempted by one again today mainly because I’ve eaten 3 slices of stodgy greasy pizza and I know I need some nutrition!
I also have rarely been drinking on MJ so it’s all culminated at once.

Tomato and roasted courgette orzo with veggie meatballs

Tonight we are having hot dogs, not bbq'd

DryDay · 20/06/2025 18:32

Chicken in a creamy tomato sauce with new potatoes and rocket

LeveretGrey · 20/06/2025 18:34

I went super lazy here. I bought those amazing frikkadellan that Aldi sells and had that cold with Aldi potato salad and a lettuce avocado salad. The Dcs had chicken burgers and salad and DH has had just salad.

feelingbleh · 20/06/2025 18:37

We had jacket potato and salad

AppleOfMyThirdEye · 20/06/2025 18:37

I’m going for chicken sausages, new potatoes and veg tonight.

Thinlyveiled · 20/06/2025 18:50

Spanakopita with some very odd ingredients and baked apricots

IndigoBluey · 20/06/2025 18:52

Still unsure as too hot to feel hungry but have some roast chicken or steak in the fridge so either of those with a leafy salad and my homemade dressing - mustard, cider vinegar, parsley, honey and sesame. Large Sauv to wash it down I think!

Sourisblanche · 20/06/2025 18:56

We had sockeye salmon with oven chips, peas and broccoli. Even that was too much really.

Now sat down with my feet up sipping a tepid tea!

TheChosenTwo · 20/06/2025 20:25

I made myself a lovely Greek salad and feel like my body will really thank me for making that choice! Topped it up with some nutrients.
Mind you dh and ds have just marinaded up their steaks for the bbq and they looked very good…
Im just out of the shower and heading to bed real soon, what a wild Friday night.
@LeveretGrey whats frikaddellen?
and @Thinlyveiled what were the unusual ingredients, I’m curious!

Too late now but I had baked sweet potato with caramelised onions and chorizo with a salad. Yum!

TheChosenTwo · 20/06/2025 20:43

@mondaytosunday ive really tried hard to like sweet potatoes but I just don’t unfortunately - but your dinner sounds really tasty regardless. I’d have also added some mozzarella to the toppings!!

A slice of sourdough with butter. I just can’t be arsed.

Crikeyalmighty · 20/06/2025 20:48

A big salad with all M&S nice deli bits ) artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, olives) plus their battered fish bites and some garlic prawns - delicious!!
