Beige Tea tonight. Quorn Nuggets, Chips and Beans. I don’t even have kids Grin but I did walk nearly 3 miles home from work for the first time so I’m justified in my beige goodness

We had barbecue pulled pork with brioche buns, chips and salad tonight.
On the meal planner for the rest of the week are:
Chicken enchiladas
Minted lamb kofte skewers
Home made burgers
Ham, egg and chips / ham salad with new potatoes, some family members prefer one to the other!!
Chicken and chorizo kebabs
Sweet and sour veg with egg fried rice

Spatchcocked the chicken myself and rubbed some Korean spiced marinade over it, then roasted it for about 30 mins, along with some baby spuds and some cauliflower florets. It was delicious!!

Last night we had a salad with couscous, flageolet beans, cucumber, tomato, shallot and lemon-olive oil dressing. I sprinkled cubes of feta on my portion.

@Groovee
How do you make chicken pasta bake?

@YukoandHiro How do you make mediterranean bean stew?

Today will be pasta, tomato sauce and meat or bean balls. With spinach and peas.

We didn’t have our usual Indian takeaway last night (the kids wanted spaghetti bolognese instead) so to make up for it we’re having home made curry tonight. Probably butter chicken, with pilau rice, peshwari naan, chilli naan and probably a couple of veg sides but which ones depend on what fresh veg looks nicest when I go to the supermarket.

I'm doing chicken salad and ciabatta tonight for DCs and me as DH is away tonight. Weather looks salad-worthy today Grin!

bolognese made with puy lentils instead of mince, as DP prefers it.

MrsElizabethShelby · 01/06/2019 09:53

I am roasting a chicken and we will have with Charlotte potatoes and salad. Yum

Thank you. I will try that this week if the weather holds.

We’re going for it and rolling out the bbq! Tuna steaks with a lime, chilli and ginger marinade. With sweet potato salad, an apple coleslaw (i make it with yoghurt so it’s really fresh and and zingy) and a green salad. Followed by bbq pineapple wedges, strawberries and frozen yoghurt.

YahBasic · 01/06/2019 15:50

Going to a friends for dinner & to watch the footy - he’s making risotto
I volunteered to make pudding. I’m currently on my third meringue for a pavlova. Fucking thing keeps sticking to the paper. I actually smashed the 2nd one in frustration. It’s cost me a bloody fortune in eggs, used every gram of sugar in the house so no sugar for morning coffee & I don’t even like pavlova 😢

StrongleBerry · 01/06/2019 16:23

I'd have turned it into Elton Mess, ListeningToTheBirds.

StrongleBerry · 01/06/2019 16:23

I wouldn't have the patience to make a second, let alone a third.

RomanyQueen1 · 01/06/2019 16:25

steak and sweet potato oven chips with assorted veg, for dh.
Spag bol for me, dd and her friend.
