Have a cottage pie filling in the slow cooker at the moment.
Last night was Jacket potato with cheese and beans and dc made syrup sponge and custard.

ScottChegg · 16/01/2025 13:17

We are having meatballs made from Toulouse sausages, in a tomato sauce with linguine.

Hoochyvida · 16/01/2025 13:26

We're having pork with roasties, buttery carrots and broccoli. And a sauce or gravy.

Last night we had a cheeky Maccy Ds as I couldn't be bothered to cook the pork!

Funfuninthesunsun · 16/01/2025 13:30

Falafel, hummus and roasted veg.

whengodwasarabbit1 · 16/01/2025 13:31

Salmon with pesto, roasted new potatoes, brocolli and roast tomatoes. The above with fish fingers instead of salmon for the picky eater kid!

ChristmasGrinch24 · 16/01/2025 13:32

Nando's garlic & lemon herb chicken, califlower cheese & veg.

Retrospeaker · 16/01/2025 13:35

Mushroom risotto

Fuzzypinetree · 16/01/2025 13:39

The plan is pizza chicken with salad...but we won't get back from DS's rugby training until late so might just have to pick something up on the way. I try not to.

We're having leftover turkey casserole from the freezer tonight so probably not helpful to you but last night we had potato hash with tomatoes, peppers and kale. It's a BBC good food recipe and might be one of our new favourites

I've just looked up this recipe and now I know what I'm making tonight 🙂

Twaddlepip · 16/01/2025 13:42

A rosemary, smoked paprika and garlic panko-crumbed chicken breast, done in the airfryer, with a healthy cabbage, apple and beetroot slaw with dressing.

CitadelofRicks · 16/01/2025 13:43

Bratwurst with colcannon mash and tenderstem broccoli with lashings of gravy. Can’t wait

SallyWD · 16/01/2025 13:44

Salmon and prawns in a creamy sauce with pasta and salad

HeddaGarbled · 16/01/2025 13:44

Bangers and mash 😋

Inextremis · 16/01/2025 13:46

Sausage, egg and chips - a nice easy, plain meal for a change, after a few adventurous dinners earlier in the week. DH will be happy!

soupmaker · 16/01/2025 13:48

Pulled pork ramen made with leftover pork. DH makes the broth from scratch.

RedLightsStopSigns · 16/01/2025 13:50

I’m making macaroni cheese and having it with some delicious Cumberland sausages from the local butcher.

GameOfJones · 16/01/2025 13:50

Last night was chilli beef pasta, tonight is butternut squash soup with garlic bread.

Tarkan · 16/01/2025 13:52

I'm ill and haven't been able to get to the shop recently so it's going to be random freezer stuff tonight with everyone fending for themselves. We have frozen baked potatoes, breaded fish and scampi, a pastry bake thing, pasta ready meals, chicken nuggets, chips and frozen veg so there's at least a good choice for everyone. Plenty of cheese for toasties if anyone wants something smaller instead too.

ImTheOnlyUpsyOne · 16/01/2025 13:55

Baked salmon, baby potatoes and salad

TeeBee · 16/01/2025 13:56

Orzo, chickpeas, roasted veg, sundried tomatoes with creme fraiche and lemon and herb chicken.

mommybear1 · 16/01/2025 13:57

Lasagna for us

Bigboysmademedoit · 16/01/2025 13:59

Homemade chicken curry (using up cooked chicken) for some and homemade vegetable curry for the others. Both cooking now and smelling good.

RumJerrySailorRum · 16/01/2025 13:59

We are going out for a few drinks tonight as we will both have finished our 4 day shift rotation.
So I was planning on frozen pizza when we got in but DH has said takeaway so who am I to argue??

However, over the last few days we've had homemade lasagne, my own take on Hunters Chicken with salad, savoury mince with a load of extra veg chucked in and the leftover veg i then made into soup.

I'll be doing salmon tagliatelle and chicken & mushroom stroganoff this weekend I think.

MustBeGinOclock · 16/01/2025 14:00

Sausage and mash here, prob with gravy and peas yum

cloudydays2 · 16/01/2025 14:02

Left over taco mince to make quesadillas!
