What's everyone having for dinner in this heatwave?

[StoptheworldIneedtogetoff]

If you're experiencing the heatwave like we are in Berkshire, UK- then what have you all got planned for dinner?!

I need some inspiration as currently I have no desire to stand over a hot oven, yet feel like I am slowly marinating myself😂

I made curry this morning, so it’s reheated curry and naan! Nothing like a bit of spice to sweat out the hot weather

Chicken pasta salad

2 x chicken breasts
Pack of Hot Ham pieces
Mixed rocket salad
GF fusili
Cucumber
Sprouting brocoli
Spring onions
Mayonaise
Honey
Mustard

Voila!

No idea, DH cooks on a Wednesday as I'm out until 7.
I'll let you know later

Me too. I remember this being a staple of my parents in the 80s and don’t do it often but everyone loved it. Had egg mayo with it too (always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge so no cooking).

Just been to Asda and picked up an Asda pizza with some coleslaw. Yum x

Blimey, sounds lovely. Is that all homemade or shop-bought?

Had a fair bit of potato salad this week, with tinned fish or smoked. Tonight am having roast cauliflower (cooled!) with lots of nuts, fresh herbs, and some feta.

Roast chicken with salad and homemade olive bread croutons! And a boiled egg for extra protein 💪

We had a yellow sticker BBQ with salad and roast veggies also cooked on the BBQ
Steak, sea bass, chicken thighs and fancy sausages

We had savoury rice mixed with diced tofu, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mixed beans. Light but filling.

I baked some potatoes late last night so we could simply wang them in the microwave to reheat and add some cheese and a salad. Plan is to cook tacos before bed so we can simply reheat and go tomorrow

I made meatballs (just on their own, no sauce) and we had them in pittas with salad and mayonnaise.

Tonight was ‘eat whatever you can find in the fridge and cupboards night’ I had a plate of raw veg scavenged from the fridge with red pepper hummus, DD has had a bowl of shreddies and an ice lolly and DH had a plate of random picnic stuff leftover from the weekend

Tofu stir fry 💚💚💚🌱🌱🌱

Texas BBQ chicken steak, cheese and jalapeño hash brown pockets and salad.

Tuna (tinned), avocado loads of tomatoes and potato salad (from left overs).

Basically whatever I can make without using a flame!

Broccoli salad with tahini dressing, tofu and couscous

Posh sausages in M& s Japanese milk buns ( my fave) with chilli jam and German mustard- salad of pink cabbage coleslaw, cucumber, toms and rocket

A mars bar and some peppermints i might have a salad later its just too STUFFY here

So many good ideas to mix basic salads up!

Ours tonight was tasty:
Chicken breasts with curry spices rubbed in and air fried for 20 mins then thickly sliced.
Potatoes chopped (not peeled) air fried for 15 mins.
Brioche buns.
Dressing made of oatly creme fraiche, mango chutney and lime juice.
Lots of usual salad malarky.

I am soaking chickpeas for tomorrow
Homemade falafel
pitta
tahini/houmous
crunchy salad bits
grilled halloumi

That's what we had - ham, egg mayo, tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce, coleslaw and some bread & butter.🙂

I had gazpacho with chopped cucumber and some Serrano ham but only had myself to worry about, kids are out with their father. Dd1 would definitely have wanted some carbohydrate with that.

Satay chicken and rice

I cook from scratch when my kids are with me, but tonight I had hummus, crisps and two soleros 🤣
