Just that really… at work all day while kids with DGP’s, need to pick something up for tea on way home (4 x adults & 2DC). All good eaters, no allergies. Need some inspiration to save me wandering round supermarket aimlessly…Thanks

Spaghetti Bolognese!

TheFutureIs · 20/08/2025 15:10

We’ve got lamb chops, air fryer potatoes and green veg (going to do sautéed leeks with some peas added in)

TheFutureIs · 20/08/2025 15:10

Got spaghetti bolognaise tomorrow

Squirrelblanket · 20/08/2025 15:11

Salmon with rice and an avocado salad.

BuzzYourGirlfriendWooof · 20/08/2025 15:15

We’re having a full roast as I’m off work, daughter has been ill for days and hasn’t eaten anything, but she said that’s what she fancies, and it’s feeling a tad autumnal here today, so happy to oblige.

Pork and mozzarella kebabs, home made chips and corn on the cob ( kebab from Morrisons) ❤️

Chicken and chorizo pasta bake. I hate deciding what to cook and then cooking it, if I win the lottery I’m employing a chef!

PatienceOfEngels · 20/08/2025 15:18

Potato bake (layered potatoes, bacon and onions in white sauce, topped with cheese) with peas and sweetcorn.

MrsVinceVega · 20/08/2025 15:19

Salmon fillets cooked with lemon and parsley, new potatoes, asparagus and salad.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 20/08/2025 15:20

Today: Quick veggie curry with poppadoms, tomato & Red Onion salad and mango chutney. Very quick and easy.

Just took a pack of mince out of the freezer to defrost to make mince and dumplings for tomorrow.

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 20/08/2025 15:23

Jacket potatoes with tuna mayo and salad. Yesterday was fish pie and tomorrow is pesto potatoes with salmon and green veg. Quite fish and potato heavy this week!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 20/08/2025 15:24

In a hurry the other day, I picked up (by mistake) a pack of 8 chunky cod fish fingers from Sainsbury’s, thinking it was 2 fish fillets for me and dh.

Very nice, though, and a quick and easy dinner, with just salad and boiled new potatoes. And more than enough for an unexpected dd, too.

MaryGreenhill · 20/08/2025 15:25

Vegetarian chilli and rice

tinyspiny · 20/08/2025 15:26

Chicken breast fillets wrapped in bacon with broccoli cheese and peas .

Favouritefruits · 20/08/2025 15:27

we are having grilled chicken, watermelon, cucumber and mint salad with feta and Greek flat bread! Quick easy and tasty

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 20/08/2025 15:27

Pork belly stir fry with noodles. This works just as well with chicken.

Cube the meat and marinate in soy sauce, runny honey and Chinese five spice. Fry it off.
Stir fry spring onions/mixed stir fry veg and bean sprouts, add the meat and the noodles (ready to use, or prepared as the packet says).

Does it go chewy? i love pork belly but usually have to roast it for ages so it's not chewy

DiscoBob · 20/08/2025 15:29

Charlie Bigham Moussaka. That and the fish pie are the only CB meals I like.

Probably some lettuce, cucumber and spring onions too.

Going to be hard for me to wait till about 8pm as that is the earliest we tend to have dinner. Sometimes it's as late as 10!

maddiemookins16mum · 20/08/2025 15:31

Salmon, new potatoes and salad.

Hurtandupsetmummy · 20/08/2025 15:31

Cold meat, chips, egg and beans.

hshshshhdaujhwgwva · 20/08/2025 15:40

We’re having hot dogs as it’s DCs favourite meal 🤦‍♀️ but it is at least quick and simple.

missrabbit1990 · 20/08/2025 15:40

Get something that you can do a batch of, so that you don’t have to think about food tomorrow. Maybe bolognese and adjust it to chili tomorrow?

Icecreamhelps · 20/08/2025 15:41

Sausage casserole and mash

BlueOysterCultGroupie · 20/08/2025 15:46

Must be the day for it as salmon, new potatoes and vegetables here too!

Bacon, pesto pasta is another quick one on the menu - red onion, mushrooms, sweetcorn and bacon all fried while the pasta cooks and then red or green pesto depending on preference.
