Dh is using up leftovers, ds is having salmon and I’m fending for myself. I’ll have chicken breast with something but I can’t think what. Lacking in inspiration (tbh it’s mostly lacking in motivation to go to the supermarket and get anything specific in so hoping to use what we have) and I’m also going for a low carb dinner so it will be some kind of chicken and vegetables…
what’s on the menu for you tonight?

Lemony Roast chicken with courgettes, spaghetti and loads of parmesan - I got about 20 mins left to wait!

Loaded potato soup. Basically a thin cheese sauce with cubed potatoes, onion, garlic, fried bacon and lots of cheese.

Ended up having a “fend for yourself” night and I was overjoyed to find mini turkey kyivs in the freezer for myself.

Sunday dinner! Because we decided to go out yesterday instead.

Chicken curry (homemade). I incorporate leftovers into my meal planning for the week ahead so I only buy what is needed once a week. Why is son having something different from you? Is it your leftovers night too?

I'm having egg and homemade chips tonight cant decide whether ketchup or brown sauce to go with it.!

Sausage, mash, gravy and veg! Proper northern tea!

Tonight’s meal is very easy - yesterday’s leftover chilli with microwave rice.

Cheese toasties and spicy wedges done in air fryer. Can't be bothered tonight. Carb overload I know. Sometimes you just have to.
