To ask what you’re having for dinner?

[Jellybeansincognito]

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?

Vegan sausages, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed red cabbage 🙂

Salmon - not sure how to cook it yet, with some potato wedges and asparagus.

I’m thoroughly bored of our teatime staples now so this is a great thread. We try to meal plan but are never sure who’s going to be home at what time so it’s not so easy atm. It’ll be better once they’re back to school hopefully!

Frozen fishless fish with mushy peas and mint sauce. Mmmmmm

With the salmon, if you put it in tinfoil packets, with a good knob of butter, a dash of wine, and salt and pepper, and whack it in the oven for 20 minutes, it's really rather lovely.

A steak and ale pie with potato gratin and some bread rolls

Chocolate digestives

Oh, and a squeeze of lemon juice!

Takeaway. Don't know why but today I really can't be bothered.

Chicken burrito bowls with mango salsa!

The kids had homemade pie, mash, veg & gravy.

So far I have cooked dh poached egg on toast, grilled cheese and a mini roast dinner. He had chemo yesterday and isn't really hungry, so I'm just trying to get something into him. He eventually managed most of the mini roast and has gone to bed.

I've had a can of coke, full fat!

Fishless fish? @cricketmum84 I’m intrigued 😅

Omg @GreyGardens88 that sounds incredible

Kids had steak, new potatoes, salad, home made coleslaw.
DH and I had quiche instead of steak as he is lifelong veggie and I'm trying to eat less meat.

Trying an experiment, tonight.
Creamy Tuscan Chicken from the new Dean Edwards book.
The bit that worries me is the waiting until the end to swirl in the spinach and crème fraîche, in case I have forgotten what I was doing by then and have just wandered off to bed.
Long Covid is a bitch.

LadyLindaT, you might want to get yourself an Alexa and set timers! I hope your recovery continues apace. . .

@loubieloo4 gl for your Oh’s chemo

I recently discovered that chicken wings/drumsticks are amazing in the air fryer, I got a pack of drumsticks you're meant to put on the BBQ (they come marinaded in something bbq-esque too) and stuffed pepper

Fish pie and frozen peas. Not very imaginative on the vegetable front.

@JoeCalFuckingZaghe ah that's sad sorry to hear 

@Dementedswan that's a simple easy winner here without fail

Tonight's dinner was roasted butternut squash & sweet potato chilli with smoked garlic, brown rice with lime & paprika, sour cream. Very filling. Was reheated from batch cooked previously! There still loads to use up so will lose its appeal no doubt. Goes well with

Fish pie 🐟 🥧

I had a small fishfinger toasted flatbread. Melty edam, lettuce, tartare sauce, fishy fingers, gherkin. Really good, cheap and filling.

I have just cooked a roast.

Pad Thai noodles tonight.

I made quorn Shepard's pie

Chilli and pepper Belly pork strips, cauliflower hash browns and salad for us. The kids had Mac Donald’s.
