To ask what's for dinner now the weather has changed?

[ElizaDee]

It's wet, miserable and cold today. So, I'm thinking of making a goulash tonight, I'm searching recipes now.

I love a soup or stew for dinner when it's cold, with fresh buttery bread!

What are you having?

Corned beef stew.....
Hotpot
Mince and Dumplings..

Basically meat and gravy lol!

Full English for tea last night with homemade cake for pudding
Chicken dinner with homemade yorkies tonight.I always do a roast on Wednesday.

@ElizaDee, if you're trying lower carb meals and fancy lasagne, I can recommend using thin slices of courgette (or aubergine, if you prefer) in place of the pasta.

Something like this, maybe?

@Nottrueatall Cheers, I've got sliced aubergine in the freezer, I'll use that this time

I used this one last time but substituted the pasta for butternut squash sheets. pinchofnom.com/recipes/lasagne/

Last night, I used up some bits that had been in the freezer for a while, plus veg that needed using up and made a chicken and prawn stir fry.

I chopped up 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 2 carrots into thin strips and sliced 5 medium mushrooms.

I de-boned the leftover chicken from the day before, and defrosted a small pack of prawns and a packet of Singapore noodles.

I chucked it all in a wok and stir fried it, along with a sauce I made from some minced garlic and ginger, some soy sauce, some oyster sauce and a little bbq sauce to sweeten it (not sure on quantities or ratios as I kinda made it up as I went along and just kept tasting it until I was happy with it).

Thanks, that looks tasty, ElizaDee, might have to try that out this weekend. I've actually got a butternut squash in the cupboard.

It was lovely!

Ooooh loving this thread

We had/are having:
Leek and potato soup (though added some bendy carrots) with homemade bread
Quinoa and black bean salad (not v cold weather food but healthy and cheap)
Tonight is veggie sausages, roast potatoes, broccoli, sweet corn
Tomorrow (inspired by goulash chat!) mushroom stroganoff with pasta
Friday is veggie chilli, tortilla chips and rice
Saturday I think I’ll do a squash and lentil curry with some homemade flatbreads

Slowcooker cottage pie today

@PooWillyBumBum you've just reminded me of lentil soup! That's a weekend meal though, I don't like having that in the week.

Ahh, I really want some of my nan's dahl and rice now :(

Did Burnt Aubergine chilli last night - on BBC Good Food website, it was best veg version ever, read the reviews first as a few tweaks are recommended

Sausage, mash and red cabbage. Probably haven't had it since about March. It was delicious.

Chicken in extra hot Nando's rub with paprika sweet potato wedges tonight and currently have a pan of Scouse on the hob for tomorrow's dinner (always better the next day). Fri will be a batch cooked pork/mustard/white wine/leek concoction from the freezer.

Had halloumi cheese and courgette 'burgers' that I made and which we then bbq'd. Served with salad and coriander pitta bread. Twas very nice.

Home made pasta arrabiata tonight with a sprinkling of grated cheese.

I'm thinking of making pho tonight, with bean sprouts in place of noodles.

Katsu chicken tonight - with a double batch of sauce for another meal or all of our lunches tomorrow (DC like it in a hot flask for school lunch).

A pork casserole type thing made with cider, mustard and cream.

@lastqueenofscotland where can I find recipe for Penang Tofu? Sounds good

I love Katsu chicken @TheClitterati ! Never made it though, I might give it a go next week.

It's super easy to make- I use this recipe & double the sauce:
allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/29578/chicken-katsu-curry.aspx

DC also like the katsu sauce & rice with fish fingers - so while it takes a bit of effort to do the chicken version, that is compensated with a no effort at all katsu fish finger meal.

or breaded prawns, or scampi, or fish ....

BTW I don;t sieve the sauce as the recipe says - I just blitz it all up so its smooth-ish.
