On Monday I made a big pot of chilli with turkey mince and lots of different beans. We had that with brown rice and a sprinkle of cheese.
Tuesday we had a quick and easy meal that has become a family staple over the years....cheesy mashed potato with peas mixed in, topped with extra cheese and browned under the grill. We had it with sliced tomatoes from the garden and some bacon.
Wednesday I made a bake with the leftover chilli.
It's a bit like a lasagne. Chilli at the bottom, then top with a tortilla wrap that has cream cheese spread on it. I usually do 3 or 4 layers depending on how much chilli I have. The last layer is just a tortilla wrap spread with cream cheese topped with grated cheese. Bake until cooked through.
We have green salad with it.
Chicken and Cashew nut stir fry with noodles tonight.

What is the definition of a main meal?

My dinner tonight is salmon salad
Lunch today was a cheese salad
Dinner last night was a chicken salad

But I would consider a breakfast a meal as well, its not a snack

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 07/08/2025 18:27

Finally got round to cooking a turkey leg thats been in my freezer God knows how long. We had that with baby potatoes and green beans.

Before that it was chicken breast with potato skins and mixed veg

Before that it was chicken sandwiches for a few days because I could not be arsed.

Trying to think of the cooked dinner before the chicken breast. I think it was chicken and bacon pasta.
