What's everyone having for dinner in this heatwave?

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😂

Banana sandwiches and a toffee meringue

I’d forego the sandwich part and chop the banana up with the meringue 😁

Salmon with baby jersey royals 😋 broccoli and carrots here tonight

Change of plan, the teenager has gone to the beach, so DH and I are having Delia's Kedgeree

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves a kedgeree.

Salmon-rice bowls! Might do nachos later this evening if we’ve got space.

I always find salmon so filling.

Nothing! Had poached eggs and avocado about 11 and a bowl of Greek yoghurt at 4

thai Spiced fresh salmon coconut red curry and jasmine rice

Salmon, jersey royals, tender stem
broccoli and mange tout

Just finished the last of the olive sourdough with the remaining Greek dip - which was absolutely delicious! Too hot to do anything other than spread and dip.

Lots of salads, anything that doesn’t involve standing over a hob. But the oven is currently on as I’m about to bake a big cake for a party tomorrow and I said I would.

Gazpacho followed by chickpea curry (out of the freezer) and rice.

I picked up the new Waitrose Food magazine last night, and quite coincidentally, it's one of the suggested foods this month, so they sell then there too, which is handy as I have one down the road. They served them with juicy sausages, which does look amazing.

Have you been to Japan? There they have egg mayo, rather than scrambled egg. You can get Japanese mayo in Waitrose or Asian supermarkets as well. It does taste different. I try not to eat UPFs, but do allow myself a few bits and bobs, so this will go on the allowed list

Last night I had Itsu soup dumplings and roast seaweed. Took 2 minutes in the microwave!😄

Made a bloody amazing salad for lunch today (sorry to the McDonald’s crowd 😉) lettuce, chickpeas, spring onion, toasted pumpkin seeds, grilled nectarines, burrata and hot honey. It was so goddamn tasty I took a photo of it

hummus and crisps for dinner

Fucking maccers last night had me raiding the fridge before bedtime. Never ever fills ye up.

This evening it is homemade 'kfc' so essentially I am doing a mix of chicken legs and tenders, skin on chips and have corn on the cob, coleslaw, rice salad and in this house curry sauce as we have yet to find a decent kfc gravy replica.

If the c and w cake is the Tesco finest currently on offer, I have the lemon drizzle and the carrot cake in the fridge, I'm marking exam papers and always have a few snacky things on hand, don't ever do that!

Currently a bag of Twiglets and a mini bottle of Chicken Wine Rose. Does this count as dinner ?

Chicken Wine Rose...? Come again?!

Bass in butter sauce with cabbage and sweet potato

My kids have just had cereal for dinner.

im probably going to eat the macaroni cheese the big kid made in cookery today. I may die.

A chicken thigh, and that was forced down. It’s a rare day that I’m not hungry, but it’s to bloomin’ hot 🥵

We didn’t bother.

Chicken wine!

Chip shop tonight

How are people eating so much in this heat?

Barbecue tonight of beef with a leafy salad, but last night DH and I just had a cheese platter with pickles, grapes and sourdough crisps.
