What you’ve had for Saturday night dinner

[ddodprob]

Just got that really. Am doing the January thing if trying to eat a little healthier but usually have a takeaway on a Saturday- so compromise is making a home made curry that still involves butter and cream, but is a better choice than full takeaway with all the bells and whistles

A big bowl of porridge.

I'll do a roast dinner tomorrow.

I had fish dippers and potato and carrot waffles (oh and a couple of chipolata sausages )

Salmon with ginger and spring onions, stir fried vegetables and seven grains, then baked plums and custard for pudding

We had pork loin steaks, crushed new potatoes and fried tomatoes.

Only me and dd here tonight so we had 2 wraps each with buttermilk chicken tenders, cheese, mayo and salad.

Dh doesn't really like wraps so we took advantage of him being away.

It’s curry in this house.
Prawn korma
Chicken, green bean and mushroom tikka
Cauliflower bhaji
Bombay potatoes
Naan bread
Rices
All made by my fair hands. Dd1 loved it. She’s so fussy, and didn’t realise it was s curry. Dd2, has a cold and wasn’t bothered.

Steak with peppercorn sauce, chips and salad. Followed by chocolate fudge cake because it is ds birthday and that was what he wanted.

Cod and cockles in a white wine sauce with new potatoes and samphire

We had low fat sausages, oven chips and beans.

On a bit of a health kick so all calorie counted but just what we wanted as a treat instead of usual takeaway.

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, sprouts, peas, onions, gravy. Would normally do it for Sunday lunch but am having some vegetarians over tomorrow so planning a middle eastern veg tagine.

Amazed to learn from pp upthread that I can freeze avocados! Good old mumsnet

Mystery leftovers from the freezer. Turned out to be veggie chilli.

Chicken nuggets with roasted potatoes and carrots.

Jacket potato with tuna mayo, spring onion and grated cheese...not exciting but just what I fancied.

Had butternut squash mac and cheese. DD threw it all on the floor, and I found out while we were eating that DP doesn't really like squash, so clearly was a big hit

Steak with onions and mushrooms, salad and baked potaote. Quick and easy

Spag bol...quick, easy and tasty after spending most of the day visiting my dad in hospital.

Now have a thrown together bread and butter pud in the oven as both DD (14yo and currently suffering with a stinking cold and time of the month) and I are in dire need of comfort food.

Beer.

Rump steak and vegetables

We have a takeaway about once every 2 months, if that. Once a week is a lot?

Tonight's dinner was linguine all norma (aubergine, olive oil, tomato, garlic, basil, chilli, feta).

Been to the pub so toast and Stilton, and for afters, Jaffa cakes.

Fillet steak, chips, peas and sweet corn and pepper sauce

Lol at random grammar school boast on this thread. Gotta love Mumsnet.

I haven’t had anything as I’m just not hungry.
I had fish finger sandwiches for lunch followed by Mint Vienetta though 😋

DH and I have made a vegan chilli with guacamole and tortilla wraps, we prepared it together for the first time and shared it with a bottle of wine. What a fabulous evening we have had. We will definitely do it again.

Dark chocolate toblerone and red wine
