What’s for dinner ?

I’m doing chicken (peri peri and jerk as kids wont eat jerk and I don’t like peri peri)
salad and slaw and sweet potato fries (for two) jacket spuds for the other two and broccoli and corn on the cob.

we concur on strawberries and cream for pudding.

does anyone else have to deal with minor adjustment bullshit when cooking? DH is doing it all btw I’m just hot, grumpy and thinking ‘just piss off and eat a bloody jacket potato’ while they moan about what they will and won’t eat…

Kids have had breaded chicken and hash browns.
Their request and I’m too hot and tired to argue one beige meal won’t kill them.
I’ve had Greek yogurt, nectarine, maple syrup and a tiny bit of granola.

We’ve had a very lazy day here, so we ate veggie meatballs at ikea.

Venison stroganoff. And I’m regretting it because it’s too bloody hot!

Crunchy nut cornflakes with a splash of milk

Edited

That’s what I should have made.

MrsDoylesTeacup · 08/07/2026 18:27

It was going to be Greek chicken in soft pittas with salad but I just got the pittas out and they’ve gone mouldy already, probably too hot in bread bin!
So now it’s chicken tikka masala and rice which I feel too hot and bothered to eat but it’ll have to do.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 08/07/2026 18:28

Bacon new potatoes peas and mint sauce. DH's favourite.

Chicken mini fillets marinated in Greek yogurt, tomato purée and curry powder, with salad. Served with fresh green chillies and more Greek yoghurt. Yum.

That sounds brilliant! I might have to copy that x

Home made pizza because I’m a masochist who likes having the oven on in a heatwave

Thats what i had with a shed load of mozzarella, pepperoni, red pepper, red onion, sliced baby yellow tomatoes, another shed load of mozzarella and black pepper. 😋

CornishCornetto · 08/07/2026 18:48

We’re clearing out the freezer (as the replacement freezer arrives on Friday).

So I had garlic bread with a lentil/tomato ragu that I meal prepped some months ago.

DH is having pork chops with sweetcorn and carrots right now.

DS1 had steak, chips, peas.

DS2 had breaded chicken, a flatbread, and broccoli.

Obviously I was THRILLED to cook four entirely separate meals. Slightly improved by having an “ice cream tasting menu” for pudding, using up all the random bits left at the bottom of tubs.

HappiestSleeping · 08/07/2026 18:49

I totally misjudged the heat and have spaghetti bolognese cooking. At least I've done sufficient for several frozen portions.

LotusMandala · 08/07/2026 18:50

Pulled ham and leek cheesy pasta bake

notantordec · 08/07/2026 18:56

Sainsbury’s taste the difference pizzas here. One pepperoni and one chicken Caesar.

TheChosenTwo · 08/07/2026 18:58

We’re having a spiced roasted chicken, some sautéed potatoes and a refreshing green salad on the side. Looking forward to it but in a few hours when the sun has dropped a little!

Toasties. Steak, onions and mustard for me. Signed, Regretting Life Choices.
