What’s for dinner?

[OnlyYellowRoses]

Morning all,

Sitting here staring at a blank notebook desperately trying to meal plan for this week, however, I’m so sick of trying to come up with something that pleases the majority of the kids and isn’t horrible beige freezer food as I’m sure they would happily live on frozen pizza or nuggets if given the chance (I need veggies at least 5 days a week! 😬).

So, inspiration please! What’s for dinner in your house tonight?

Chicken soup 😍

Roast beef with Yorkshire puddings,roasted carrots,swede,sprouts,mashed potatoes,roast potatoes and gravy.

Not really, sorry! I gathered the wild garlic about a month ago and made up a compound butter with it and it’s been in the freezer in chunks. I’ll just use the juices from the chicken, a splash of cider to deglaze, a little chunk of wild garlic butter, a splash of single cream, whisk it a bit and pour it over the chicken and steamed asparagus. The chicken thighs will be baked in the oven. I eat a high protein low-carb diet so this works for me. I’ll probably have some steamed broccoli as well.

My partner is vegan so he’ll be having the vegetables with something else!

My DS 20 put a large gammon on the smoker at 10am. Will serve with sweet potato mash and peas.

Just back from work. DH has a shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker, roasties in the oven, cauliflower cheese and other veg. I’m shattered and in my PJs, can’t wait for dinner.

Chicken Fajitas tonight. Our meals for the week are:
Mince and tatties
Burgers
Bolognese
Paneer curry
Soup and sandwiches ( out for big lunch that day)

Do you have a recipe please? That sounds lovely!

Vegetarian chilli with herby roast potatoes. DH is making it so not sure exactly what’s going in.

I’m having whole wheat pasta with what’s in the fridge; probably pesto from a jar, green beans, Parmesan, may chuck in some green olives, sun dried tomatoes?

I did smash tacos last night and they were mega! https://thebeachhousekitchen.com/chicken-parmesan-smash-tacos/#recipe

Haha- same here!! I’ve shoved some stuffing in another tray too though. Caravan cooking!!

I’ve made a big pot of ratatouille so we’re having it with cold roast chicken, buttered new potatoes and baguette.
Blueberry flan for pudding.

Dh and ds (24!) are having pizza in front of the F1 race. I’ve just had the remains of the other nights special chow mein and some wine! I’m on mounjaro so not eating much right now, but I’m 5st down so not complaining! Will probably have some berries later and a wee bit of dark chocolate. Along with my jag!
