...to ask what you're making for dinner this evening?

[Clubbercised]

I'm looking for inspiration ! Plus, I just really like these threads .

Just sausages, mash and beans for us tonight xx

Roast pork with fennel seeds, roast potatoes with lemon, green salad.

We had asparagus and pea risotto last night, funnily enough. Haven't bothered to make risotto in ages as I find the stirring a bit time consuming

Google the BBC baked one - no stirring.

Chicken Chasseur with mash, green beans & broccoli.

Roast chicken dinner for DH and DD. I'm doing a butternut squash traybake with lots of veg and lemon and thyme for me and DS as he has asked if he can eat veggie with me for a week.

There should be plenty of chicken left over for DH and DD for sandwiches and tomorrow nights tea too - although I can't quite make one chicken last a family of four for a week yet

Roast Chicken with roast potatoes, roasted cauliflower, asparagus, carrots & peas.

Not exactly dinner but I made 4 of these yesterday for my lunches... bloody delicious and really do stay fresh for four days!

Chicken jalfrezi with red peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms served with rice for DP & I. DS is 12 months and will probably have baked beans on toast with some veggies to feed himself.

I went to the butchers for some chicken breast and he'd just brought out some large steak pies. They smelt so good so I bought one 🤦🏻‍♀️ not exactly healthy but I can't wait. Will do it with veg at least.

sushitime I love meat pies

Today we are having chips from the chippie, sausages and veg probably beans for the kids

Tonight I'm cooking rice to go with the end of tomato & aubergine curry I made at the weekend .

Just me this evening so I'm being lazy and having rice noodles with beansprouts, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, sweet soy sauce and a ludicrous amount of chilli oil.

Quorn bolognaise with homemade sauce

Pasta win onions, garlic, peppers and mushroom sauce, green beans on the side.

Chicken breast, new potatoes, broccoli, asparagus and peas.

I'm making Cajun dirty rice

They look great. Do you have a link to some recipes?

Roasted seabass with potatoes, peppers, courgette and whatever else I can find lurking in the veg drawer. With some lemon and rosemary.

This evening will be the inaugural use of my new instant pot. I'm making sausage and lentil stew. I've baked some fresh bread this afternoon to go with it.

There are loads of recipes on line if you google ‘mason jar salads’ - it also tells you how to layer them correctly so they stay fresh and crispy.

Mine this week are coronation chicken which I kind of make up...

Basically toss chicken in oil, curry powder and cumin and fry off

Mix curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, a splodge of mint sauce and and 4 tablespoons of mango chutney with mayonnaise (I actually do half mayo, half 0% fat yoghurt)

Stir in the cooked, cooled chicken and then stick that in the bottom of the jars. Then in order of layering top with

Red onion
Cherry tomatoes
Radishes
Carrot
Mange tout
Celery
Red pepper
Cucumber
Lettuce

Basically you put ‘wet’ at the bottom and then layer up salad in terms of toughness - so red onions are nails and can sit in the dressing for up to four days without going soggy and then you go up and up to lettuce/spinach/nuts/croutons etc which would go soft.

They really do last - I was amazed!

@chelsea26
Thank you. Such a good idea.

Red onion are nails 🤣 actually makes perfect sense. I'll be trying these.

I'm having nachos and dip for dinner and ds will have what I find in the fridge 😜

I’m doing the kids quick and easy tonight: sausage pasta with a sauce I made and shoved in the freezer a few weeks ago!

I’m planning on slobbing out on the sofa after they’ve gone to bed with a pizza and bag of peanut m&ms to watch Big Little Lies (don’t judge me....third pregnancy has hit me hard and I want comfort food )

Birthday meal tonight so the world is our lobster Rodney. Not sure what to pick/I fancy yet.
