I'm on the ball today, made a potato hash which is ready to be heated once the girls are home from school. My stomachs already rumbling for it lol.

What's on your menu for today?

My and dh are having steak, eggs and padron peppers.
I don't usually do two meals but I'm low on shopping so raiding what we have left in the freezer!

Chilli, rice, salsa, sour cream etc

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 08/10/2018 14:06

I think we will be having Nigella's three cheese and onion strata with some vegetables, as I've got a baguette that needs using up :)

Charlie97 · 08/10/2018 14:06

@gruffaloshmuffalo OH did roast lamb dinner yesterday, it was amazing!!!!

Chrisinthemorning · 08/10/2018 14:07

Beef and kidney stew in the oven - might top with sliced potato and oven bake for a crispy topping. It’ll do tomorrow’s dinner too.
DS who is fussy is having chicken sausages with fries and carrots.

Chicken stir fry with lemon and ginger and way too much soy sauce to be considered healthy.

Charlie97 · 08/10/2018 14:08
