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?

We had my DM’s cottage pie and broccoli

@merryhouse my Nana used to cook lamb’s hearts, but I never knew how she did it. Would you mind giving your recipe please?

Does anyone know something insporing to do with leftover rroast beef and carrots? We had it last week and I froze the beef in slices with the gtravy etc. I suppose I could make a really rich beef pho but other than that I can't think of anything.

Probbaly eggs on toast tonight as we are out for lunch (I am working a half day) and I am having margaritas!

Did a chicken fajita bowl (chicken/ peppers mix) with salad, guacamole and sour cream - no tortillas or cheese.

@adogisforlife91 I was given an air fryer for Xmas and we've used it everyday since, I absolutely love it!

@scatterbrainedlass that sounds nice do you have the recipe

mbosnz · 28/08/2020 17:17

Tonight is takeout night, and it's my turn to choose, so it's Thai. Girls will most probably have maccyd's.

And wine.

Wecandothis99 · 28/08/2020 17:19

Homemade Turkish. Which is basically grilled marinated chicken wings, taboullah and homemade chips.

Dylanpickle · 28/08/2020 17:25

awwhellno · 28/08/2020 17:47

Burgers and chips for dh and dd, burgers and mash for me and ds.

These threads are always amazing and my loooord don't they make me hungry

mbosnz · 28/08/2020 17:48

I love these threads. They're quiet, comfortable, and friendly. And about food. Which is possibly a little too much of a focus for this family, but what the hey?!

Bluewavescrashing · 28/08/2020 17:49

Well we had a pack of chicken and mango sausages from the butcher, defrosted from frozen but the DCs have turned their noses up. I don't know. Am tired. DD has just been to the GP with breathing issues (not covid). I hust want to go to sleep.

AlwaysLatte · 28/08/2020 17:54
  • Linguine with prosciutto, garlic, tomato and French beans. Ah sounds perfect. Our kids wouldn't eat it though so it's roast chicken, mash and runner beans here.
Frumpymummytotwo · 28/08/2020 17:56

Mexican beef and avocado salsa

cricketmum84 · 28/08/2020 17:57

Lazy hot dogs here tonight. The "eyes and lips" type for DH and eldest DD. Vegan version for me and youngest DD. Really don't have the energy to cook properly.

longtompot · 28/08/2020 18:09

Chili con carne in the slow cooker and have jacket spuds in the oven. Smells really nice, and has made me want to eat everything today.

MotherofPearl · 28/08/2020 18:10

Today it's a chicken, sausage, chickpea, mushroom and harissa traybake from the BBC website. Looking forward to it.

Wejustdontknow · 29/08/2020 04:52

I love a food thread 🙂
Last night we had chicken Kiev, chips and beans tonight it’s roasted cauliflower curry with rice and poppadoms
