What was on your dinner plate tonight?

[YouBelongWithMe]

We had an odd one of trying to use up what we have before payday + what is fresh on offer in Lidl.

It resulted in skin on oven fries, topped with a kind of mexican-spiced beef mince (almost like taco beef) and cheese, with Mexican street corn salad, homemade guacamole and some dipping tortillas.

We are currently creating a meal-planning spreadsheet and will be watching this thread in the hopes of stealing your meals!

I had chicken stuffed with garlic cream cheese,wrapped in Parma ham, served with a side of pasta. I live on my own though.

Had tofu stir fry w wholewheat noodles from Sainsbury’s

Ocado garlic and herb chicken, roasted with new potatoes in the air fryer, on top of rocket salad with some feta crumbled on the top and a dollop of sour cream and onion dip. It was delicious. I must remember to make it again. One of those nights when you don’t know what to cook and just freestyle it.

Chicken wings and corn on the cob

Quite similar to yours actually! Grated tofu cooked with smoky spices, quinoa, roast veg, but made extra delicious with cheese, sour cream and jalapenos - yum!

Very boring quiche and salad.

Southern fried chicken tenders (the 100% chicken breast ones) with white basmati rice, broccoli and cheap mixed veg. Topped with mayflower curry sauce (from B&m)
Sort of like a rubbish katsu curry bowl vibe.
Going food shopping tomorrow so was just trying to use up what we had, was actually very nice.

We had M&S cod fishcakes with caesar salad. Very simple and very nice!

Quinoa, bulgar, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, home made hummus, green beans, sprouted sunflower seeds. Dressing of EVOO and balsamic. 🌱

Jasmine rice, honey and lemon mini chicken fillets, and stir fried thinly sliced carrots and broccoli , was yummy!

Omg this sounds heavenly

Chicken with broccoli, green beans and baby sweetcorn

Two butcher sausages, French beans and a jacket potato with home grown spring onions.

I'm about to have a choc ice if there are any left. 😊

Prawn linguine with cherry tomatoes, finely chopped green beans and a lime fromage frais dressing. (DP cooked, I can't take credit for it!)

Salmon baked with lemon and dill, new potatoes and steamed broccoli. Sounds healthy till you see how much butter is on my potatoes. 🫣

We had a ‘use up the vegetables before they’re on the turn’ fried rice meal - onions, peppers, carrots with chicken, sweetcorn and peas in a made up sort of paella dish. Filling and healthy but is wont win any culinary awards

We had a scrappy tea - DH had surgery today and I've spent 5 hours driving him there and back again so it's been a long day. He had scrambled egg on toast as he's had a GA and I had a fish finger sandwich with lettuce, tomato and tartare sauce. It was surprisingly yummy thank god. Now collapsed in a heap with a mug of tea and some biscoff.

Cheese, bacon and leek quiche heated from cold in the microwave.

home made chicken skewers for me and DH and tofu skewers for dd1 in a random home made spice mix. Roasted herby new potatoes and Greek salad. It was pretty good.

Chinese egg and tomato (my favourite comfort food), a little salad thing with avocado edamame and cucumber, and steamed rice.

Your dinner looked good! Also using stuff up here.

We had sliced tofu coated in panko and fried (made myself), basmati rice, katsu curry sauce from a jar, a handful of mixed salad leaves with sliced red chilli, coriander, spring onions and mixed sesame seeds to garnish. A bit like Wagamama do katsu chicken.

It was really good, the katsu sauce was from Home Bargains - Waku Waku brand or something. Good flavour and heat but sadly full of crap. Didn't see that until rinsing the jar out.

Honey roast peanuts and a glass of champagne.

I had brisket left ovesr from yesterday with chips and gravy it was delicious I don't know why my gravy tasted better the second day

Savoury mince with roast & mashed potatoes and veg

Ham baked by my mum, oven chips, coleslaw and a big salad. We are staying with my parents on holiday and need big, easy, feed-a-crowd meals.
