What did you have for dinner tonight?

[HUNGRY4MORE]

I'll go first. I'm hoping to get some nice ideas 🙂that I wouldn't think of myself as my brain is tired of working out what were all going to eat every day 🙄

Today we had (per person):

1 large protein wrap with sliced, seasoned fillet steak, cooked rare (150g), 200g sliced and fried mushrooms and 80g fried onions and 40g grated red Leicester and cheddar cheese with garlic mayo.

It was delicious and very filling 😋

Also what's the oddest thing you've made with leftovers?

Last week, to save it from going to waste, I ended up eating diced cooked carrots and boiled potatoes mixed together with some salad cream and diced, pickled gherkins. Sounds weird but tasted okay 😂

I made my own homemade beef olives yesterday, made enough for tonight's dinner too 😋. Tomorrow its bolognaise to use up the rest of the peppers and onions.

Salmon in sweet chilli marinade , noodles and stir fry veg. Easy and quick!

I find the sainsbo ravioli tastes much nicer served with olive oil and pepper rather than an actual sauce

@sprigatitoI see, well they’re all very lucky to have you.

Rice, prawns, miso aubergine and edamame

We had chippy chips, chicken Kievs and frozen peas 😘

We had roast chicken crown with sourdough (torn into big chunks and thrown in with the chicken for the last 10 minutes until crispy on the top and soaked in juices on the bottom) with green salad and green beans.

Spanish omelette: leftover boiled potatoes, sliced; some chorizo from fridge and tomatoes and a bit of cheese on top. Whisked eggs on top, wait till cooked under then sling under grill to brown top/raise a little. Served with crusty bread and salad a la DD2 - greens, peppers, more toms

Left over roast pork shredded in wraps with onions and peppers. It was gross to me tonight. Usually it’s delicious.

Stir fried pork mince with miso, garlic, 5spice, ginger, spring onions. Steamed basmati rice perked up with star anise and cardamom. Romaine lettuce and avocado. DH and DS had theirs wrapped in tortillas, but I don’t like wraps so just had mine plain. Then I had blueberries with Greek yogurt and I might go and get seconds of that now, or possibly have a cup of tea and a square of dark chocolate.

Op can I ask why you weighed out the servings per person? Only asking as I’m being nosey 😂 we just serve on to the middle of the table and everyone takes what they want, I don’t know how many grams of anything I have let alone anyone else!

We had cottage pie with leftover slow roasted lamb shoulder last night, green beans and Cavalo Nero. Ds had ice cream after.

Tagliatelle with a creamy mushroom and sun dried tomato sauce.
And then a sugar doughnut!

Split pea soup that I made a couple of weeks ago from the ham cooking broth at Christmas, topped with a few slices of sucuk sausage.

Tonight was a chickpea and tomato stew with rice, then some ginger and pear sponge and custard!

We batch cook so use them Monday - thursday. We have about 8 Meals on rotation so it's never the same thing week on week. Tonight was Spanish chicken with chorizo sausage and rice.

Dinner never takes more than 15 minutes in the week!

Need to do a food shop ASAP so used the last stuff out of the freezer. We had crispy flavoured chicken strips in mini tortilla wraps with cheese, fries, a few onion rings, corn on the cob and veggie sticks and alllllll the sauces. Followed by fruit and yogurt for the kids.

Chilli con carne, rice and salad.

Veggie sausage & gnocchi traybake.. even the 5yr old likes it!!

Grilled sandwiches made from aged Cheddar cheese and slightly smoked ham, with dipping sauce, pickles, and coleslaw.
It was simply delicious, and very filling.

The oddest thing I ever made from leftovers was an interesting, yet not to be repeated casseroles that was suggested by Google for using up the exact leftovers I had in the fridge.
