Feeling completely fed up and out of inspiration. DC fed so it's just me to cook for.
It's hot and muggy here so I don't want to put the oven on. I have been food shopping but £40 doesn't get as much fresh stuff as it used to does it? Well stocked cupboards though thankfully.
What are you having?

This chorizo and orzo summer stew, shamelessly copied from another thread this morning!

www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chorizo-orzo-sweetcorn-summer-stew

Not eaten yet, but it looks lovely and was cheap and easy to do.

Spanielsarepainless · 15/06/2022 18:06

Mushroom risotto (aging mushrooms need using up) then strawberries and cream.

Shoxfordian · 15/06/2022 18:06

Husband is having pie and chips; I’m having egg and chips

HopingForMyRainbowBaby · 15/06/2022 18:11

Soup and toast and the last 6 squares of a Cadbury's chocolate bar

Heartbeats0708 · 15/06/2022 18:13

This is really helping! The salmon and prawns sound incredible, but I don't have any fish stuff in.
Mexican-y food sounds tasty, I need to raid the cupboards. I definitely have sour cream, absolutely essential.

I was going for pizza which I have in the fridge but I’m feeling lazy and warm so I may just have a bowl

Ceaser salad for me! Chicken stir fry for kids

Chicken risotto tonight. Arborio rice, chicken stock simmered with some dried porcini mushrooms in it, then with the cooked chicken, peas and Parmesan added at the end.

Served with a glass of champagne.

Asparagus tips to start with vinaigrette.
