Salad, mozzarella and homemade breadsticks.

Cajun chicken pasta, a firm favourite

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 06/08/2026 18:04

We’ve just let the rats out for run so hoping they’ve seen Ratatouille and quickly knock us up something.

Failing that we’ll get a takeaway. It’s been a loooooooong day.

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 06/08/2026 18:08

Sausages, new potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

StormGazing · 06/08/2026 18:09

Not even thought about it … think fish and chips!

CaptainCalm · 06/08/2026 18:11

Kids having pizza (friend over), DH having quiche and salad with new potatoes, I’m hoping to skip dinner if I can.

TheChosenTwo · 06/08/2026 18:12

Ooh what’s going on your tapas table op? We sometimes have tapas but i often think even though it’s delicious that the mess in the kitchen does not justify the meal 😂
We have a fantastic tapas place near us that we visit from time to time and it’s spectacular and no clearing up!

We are having lamb rump, dauphinoise potatoes, green beans in garlic and maybe another veg.

DH has got sausages, new potatoes, peas and gravy - he wanted a comfort tea. I had a late lunch of stir fry and lentil noodles so I've just put an M & S veggie side in the microwave of peas, broad beans, courgette and cabbage with mint butter for me as I didn't want more. It's surprisingly nice.

Home made lasagne

roshi42 · 06/08/2026 18:17

Sort of a chicken fajita spiced stir fry thing with peppers, onions & tomato, on rice/quinoa with yoghurt and avocado. For me and the toddler.

YouBelongWithMe · 06/08/2026 18:18

It is just me tonight. DH is at work until 10pm and will eat there, and all the teens are out socialising.

I have leftover slow cooker beef and squash curry from the freezer. I've bought some poppadoms and mango chutney to have with it.

Livpool · 06/08/2026 18:18

Beef koftas, mini jacket potatoes and peppers

Titsywoo · 06/08/2026 18:19

Everyone is out and I have the house to myself so I am having chip butties 😁

Favouritefruits · 06/08/2026 18:20

We are on holiday at Sherwood Forest, forest holidays and I’m going to order a Chinese to save cooking! Not a clue what it will be like but thought it was worth a try!

QuickPlumLeader · 06/08/2026 18:20

Veggie spag bol from my Hello Fresh box, with added frozen peas.

whatwasthatnoise · 06/08/2026 18:20

Ooh what tapas are your having?

The teenager is cooking loaded potato skins, I'll have salad on the side as well.

Teenagerantruns · 06/08/2026 18:20

Salad, new pots and quiche..easy but quite boring

WhyCantISayFork · 06/08/2026 18:21

Burgers. Beef burger, salad & chips for DH, halloumi burgers with pineapple & lettuce and chips for DC and me.

I have no energy for cooking at the minute!

DeanElderberry · 06/08/2026 18:25

Breakfast for dinner. Sausage, rasher, scrambled egg, tomato, mushrooms, potato cakes.

Some black grapes.

Herbal tea.

Cajun chicken pasta, a firm favourite

Sounds delicious! Enjoy

Pieandchips999 · 06/08/2026 18:29

Homemade tofu leek and mushroom noodle broth with a bit of a kick to it. So quick and easy

MummyInTheNecropolis · 06/08/2026 18:36

Just me for dinner tonight, I’ve made a prawn poke bowl which I’ll have later after I’ve been out with a friend. It contains king prawns, sticky rice, edamame, spring onion, baby cucumbers, mango, pickled ginger, black sesame seeds and a lime, coriander and soy dressing.

LeahCariad · 06/08/2026 18:39

Salmon Steaks, New potatoes and Broccoli. Quick, easy and a very firm favourite in our house.
