Seriously stuck in a food rut at the moment and I’m so uninspired I’m rarely cooking a proper meal.

What’s on the menu in your home tonight?

Fast super easy comfort dinner today for our house - Pasta with crispy bacon, peas and sweetcorn in a Honey and Mustard sauce.

A sandwich - had a steak at lunch time Smile

Well, I've developed a cough, and sinus issues - so no, we're not going out now. Bugger.

Oh well, the restaurant does takeout!

Sairafina · 27/08/2020 18:21

Chili con carne with rice

PablosHoney · 27/08/2020 18:22

I didn’t have anything as I had McDonald’s at lunch with the kids which I haven’t had in years and it gave me a stomach upset 😂😂 So many lovely recipes and ideas to try, great thread OP

Vegan pulled "pork" sandwiches with potato wedges and corn on the cob Grin

Hugsgalore · 27/08/2020 18:32

I just had French toast while my dd had scrambled eggs and toast.

Simple dinner today because we're tired!

IHaveBrilloHair · 27/08/2020 18:38

No idea, I've got no appetite atm so maybe a few crackers and cheese, or crisps or something.

gavisconismyfriend · 27/08/2020 18:38

Pan fried cod, smoky tomato sauce (homemade, but out the freezer, so no effort!), Fried courgettes and garlic. Last night was apple dipped in peanut butter!

ZaraW · 27/08/2020 18:41

I've been working all day. Can't be bothered cooking. I'm having a baked falafel sandwich with pomegranates, pickles and lemon tahini. Will add some olives and hummus.

Everysinglebloodytime · 27/08/2020 18:43

I had lentil and coconut soup - lots of turmeric, ginger and garlic.

The others had linguine, courgette and mushrooms, one son had lemon and garlic prawns and the other one and husband had lemon and garlic chicken.

VettiyaIruken · 27/08/2020 18:43

Some sort of stew with chapattis. My older son is cooking tonight. It smells gorgeous.

anothernamereally · 27/08/2020 18:44

Grilled pork chops with mash, sweet corn and green beans

CorrectileDysfunction · 27/08/2020 18:44

Chicken cashew and rice. DH used to live in Shanghai and a few other places in east asia so makes spectacular asian food. Yum Smile

Madvixen · 27/08/2020 18:45

Macaroni cheese. I had some leftover cheese sauce in the freezer so it was quick and easy

Youzam · 27/08/2020 18:49

Minted lamb kebabs, pittas, cream cheese and rocket salad. Homemade banana muffins for pudding.

Kapowsers · 27/08/2020 18:51

Grilled pork shoulder chops for the protein. On the side roasted aubergines, courgettes, peppers, onion and brocoli (cooked in olive oil and balsamic vinegar), topped with some griddled halloumi.

Feeling the med tonight.

Flymetothetoon · 27/08/2020 18:51

Fish pie. It's sat in the fridge ready to bung in oven when DH get home after a cheeky few at our local 😉

Lunaballoon · 27/08/2020 18:53

Leftovers - a couple of chorizo sausages and a few new potatoes fried and mixed with leftover Aubergine parmigiana, possibly with a fried egg on top!

Dementedswan · 27/08/2020 18:53

Ham, egg and chips. Simple, quick and guaranteed no moaning as everyone likes it.

dudsville · 27/08/2020 18:53

Wine. Honestly, I'm so done with this day.

Flymetothetoon · 27/08/2020 18:54

"When DH and I get home that should say.
Ffs I'm not a surrendered wife!

Teaorcake · 27/08/2020 18:54

I had loads of random veg to use and some chicken left over from yesterday, so did a stir fry. Courgette, peppers, edemame beans, Pak choi, brocoli and rice noodles with chicken and katsu stir fry sauce. So nice and only took about 10 mins (plus hardly any washing up). If there wasn't some chicken ready to go would have just done the veg tbh.

@JoeCalFuckingZaghe That’s really shit, I’m so sorry Sad
