What’s for Dinner/Tea?

[LinedOverLatte]

I don’t fancy what’s on the meal plan*! I’ll probably end up having it, unless someone inspires me - so, what are YOU having (or what’ve you had) for dinner/tea tonight?

• it was meant to be omelette, wedges and salad. I just can’t be bothered 😭 When I win the lottery, first thing I’m doing is employing a personal chef!

😂😆I totally know what you mean. Me + mango sauce = 💀

No, I'm in Swansea - but they are both a stone's throw from one another here too!

Thanks 🤩 There’s some lovely ideas on here which have inspired me for another day. It’s the thinking about what to cook that’s the worst bit.

Halloumi chopped up in the sausage bake is delicious and cooks really nicely in it. We often have this, and top it with a big dollop of homous (cold, although I’ve had hot homous which was nice. Hmmm, might do this next time).

Hate it every single day for the rest.of our lives,. Unless we win the lottery of course.

Jeezo, i really wish I lived somewhere like that, in stirling where i am theres not much choice for eating, we have to go to either Glasgow or Edinburgh 😮‍💨

Mediterranean chicken with orzo - it's a Pinch of Nom recipe.

Sausages, jacket potato and baked beans with cheese - yum

A plant based bean burger from Tesco
with new potatoes, broccoli, vine tomatoes, coleslaw, tahtziki, emmenthal and red onions with a dollop of mayo, humus and butter.

Had a lot of cold roast duck, which I turned into a curry. Then some apple pie and custard.

Took DD back to uni today so I wasn’t sure if I would be back to cook so just did a freezer dive. Ended up cooking some Swedish meatballs and cooking a spare garlic baguette. Ate with some salad, and a bit of cheese. Not my usual kind of thing!

Spanish omelette with a salad

Oh I live in Stirling 😳 you are right though the food places aren't great,

Mid week roast- chicken legs cooked in air fryer, new potatoes, carrots, broccoli and Yorkshire puddings (from freezer).

Oh, 👋 hiyyyaaaa, 😆 🤣. Small world it is. There really is nowhere to eat eh. We end up taking the kids to 1314 for a pub lunch if we are going out for a wee day.

Oh that’s a pain! I like it because I live so close to the beach and it feels peaceful but five minutes of walking and I’m in the city centre with the amenities. It’s not a big city by any stretch of the imagination, but there’s definitely enough here to have some good choices to be fair. I worked in Glasgow for six months and have very fond memories of the live music scene and Sauchiehall Street (I have totally spelled that incorrectly haven’t I?!)

Oh we had a lovely tea tonight - salmon marinated in grapefruit and miso with sushi rice, chillis, avocado and kimchi.

Don’t buy a lot of salmon as it is SO expensive but it really was tasty!

It was chicken arrabiata stew with Parmesan dumplings tonight.

Buttermilk chicken strips with rice, veg and perinnaise. We really need to do a shop!

👋 very small, the 1314 is nice you know what you are getting .

Thats it, never had a bad meal out of there tbh. Or mcques in bannockburn but I haven't been there for a good while.

@Simonjt sounds delicious, I shall try to make it, I love black beans.

This thread has been brilliant for inspiring some lovely dinners.

@LinedOverLatte we love Halloumi but our adult children find it squeaky we all love houmous though. I made my own, it was delicious but Ds1 said Costco's was better. The cheek. To be fair we ate it immediately instead of putting it into the fridge for a while.

Whilst I am here, can I recommend a YouTube channel, Rafika's Kitchen, incredible Turkish food. Might make you hungry again.

Going on holiday tomorrow and using up the stuff in the fridge, so we ate a stew of aubergines, mushrooms bacon , potatoes, beans, tomatoes and chard . Served with yoghurt and mint . From Allrecipes. We added the mushrooms and swapped in potato for sweet potato
it was alright. I’d eat it again.
