DD11 is having the last sleepover of the school holidays so I've got a few of her friends over. With that in mind it's 2 x large pizzas - one margarita, one bbq chicken, potato wedges, and ice cream sundaes for dessert. I'll have whatever's left with a couple of glasses of wine later. IF there's any left that is!

Curryyyyyyyyyyy!

AlexandraQueen · 21/08/2021 19:18

Homemade pizza. Dd had a friend round so I usually do homemade pizza. They tend to like punching the dough and can choose what to put on it.

DH is making steak and chips with salad. It’s his ‘thing’ (aka only thing he can cook). But he makes an amazing blue cheese sauce to go with it though…

elephantoverthehill · 21/08/2021 19:21

We're having fish pie too. I am trying to clear space in the freezer. It's a bit late tonight but Ds2 has been a skate boarding competition so I waited to put it in the oven when got back.

Chinese. Crispy garlic and chilli beef with rice and chips I think!

SusannahSophia · 21/08/2021 19:25

Couldn’t be arsed to go shopping so a lentil bolognese with tinned lentils from the cupboard, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs etc.

Wasabi sweet chilli chicken bento box from Sainsbury’s - nom nom.

JulesM73 · 21/08/2021 19:27

Fillet steak, peppercorn sauce, chips, onion rings and mushrooms. It was delicious.

CurryLover55 · 21/08/2021 19:27

Sweet chilli hot smoked salmon fillets with chips & peas. I’m supposed to be doing salad potatoes & broccoli but cba!

NoiceDifferentUnusual · 21/08/2021 19:28

Lamb tandoori, salad and flatbread.

pheonixrebirth · 21/08/2021 19:28

Made and ate a tomato and bacon soup whilst watching "you've got mail". It's supposed to be blitzed up but my son was still asleep (works nights) so had it chunky soup style. Very impressed especially when I got to use my home grown herbs in it😋
And tonights movie shall be accompanied with smoked salmon canapés garnished with fake caviar and a cold glass of white wine. Cos I'm dead posh! 😂😂😂

Bacon ribs, mashed new season potatoes ( lashings of butter) boiled cabbage and white sauce. A yummy Irish staple.

Belledan1 · 21/08/2021 19:31

Bacon sarnies. We were going to the pub and getting chips on walk back but changed mind re pub. Normally I cook steak or curry on a Saturday

BettyOBarley · 21/08/2021 19:36

A roasted chicken, roasted whole new potatoes, coleslaw and a big salad.

BigMamaFratelli · 21/08/2021 19:38

Rabbit pie, baby roast potatoes, chargrilled asparagus and cider sauce.

Definitely stealing some of these ideas though Smile

cardibach · 21/08/2021 19:40

Tandoori Chicken from The Roasting Tin Around the World book. I recommend all the Roasting Tin recipes. Simple and tasty.

@MarioPants

Roast tomato and feta spaghetti. Just put some cherry tomatoes and feta with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper in the oven at 180° fan for half an hour. Mix it together then serve with pasta of your choice.

That's sounds amazing and easy. Will be giving it a go 👍

toopoliticallycorrect · 21/08/2021 19:43

Hoisin duck bao buns

microlabfoodie · 21/08/2021 19:43

RikkiTikkiTavvi · 21/08/2021 19:46

Toad in the hole. With greens, and onion gravy.

SweetPetrichor · 21/08/2021 19:48

Cottage pie today…and the leftovers will be tomorrow’s. Nice and easy, and great comfort food.

AlwaysLatte · 21/08/2021 19:49

We had Indian spiced omelet with green salad. Lovely recipe that we always come back to for a quick supper!

WhatHaveIFound · 21/08/2021 19:50

Black bean chilli with veggie meatballs & rice for us tonight.

Greystray · 21/08/2021 19:53

We had jacket potatoes. Usually an autumn dinner, but the BBQ has been very neglected this (non)summer.
