You love it, come on..WHAT'S for dinner?!

[Gobbledispook]

Boys - tuna pasta and garlic bread, followed by strawberries

Gobble and Mr Gobble - cod, chips and peas (can't be arsed to cook - got a reeeeeeaaaaaaaly bad back and on strong pain killers)

chicken pasta bake

left over roast chicken with loyd grossman chargrilled vegetable pasta sauce and penne and garlic bread.

spag bol - boring but always popular!

Tonight we had jacket potatoes with non chilli chilli (in other words mince with kidney beans ) with garlic bread as Ds2 doesn't eat potatoes.

Bolognaise sauce, farfella pasta and freshly grated parmesan. As you say JoPG boring but it's always clean plates!

MT - ihad poached eggs on toast for lunch today!

Poached eggs are nice love it when the yolk runs but can never manage to do them right myself...! Always end up with a big swirl of egg white in the pan!

Leftovers (can't bear to chuck anything away)
Beef and veg noodles for all! Using up leftover roast beef, cabbage carrots and adding a bit of chinese 5 spice and soy sauce- hey presto!

sweet potato and cashew nut curry and basmati rice followed by vanilla ice cream (made at local agricultural college and thus both lovely and dirt cheap) with a chopped up celebration choc .

Dd only drank her milkshake. No idea what she lives on, those apples they have at school break must be mighty high in calories.

ds - rice & fish fingers.
us - homemade celariac soup and (shop bought) rosemary ciabatta.

Ooh, the sweet potato and cashew curry sounds nice. How do you make it?

We had tortilla wraps with refried beans, grated cheese, tomatoes, avodado & creme fraiche.

mrsdarcy - well with rather a lot of cheating...

fry half an onion in a little oil while peeling and chopping 2 sweet potatoes - about half inch cubes. Fling in the sweet pots and a handful of unsalted cashew nuts, add a generous tablespoon of curry paste (not sauce, I use tikka masala but you could go weaker or stronger) and a tin of coconut cream (or half a block and some regular milk). Lively simmer for 10 mins until sauce reduced down a bit.
Feeds 4 small appetites or 3 larger ones. You can also add regular potato and/or butternut squash if you have some you want to get rid of (but the regular potato needs a bit of pre-boiling first).

Chicken stirfry and egg fried rice and asda prawn crackers which ds (only 9 months!!!!) loves - then banana rice pudding for ds, and fruit for me

dd and ds - tuna lasagne then mango
dh -leftover chicken with rice and veg
me - nothing is appealing today, as yet

We had nachos and dd had baked cod,spinach and pots. We were eating out.

Lunch for son is homemade veggie curry, sandwich for me, dinner is pasta at Nonnas house! YAY no cooking for me!

Roast it with cumin and olive oil, cut it into chunks and serve with pasta, crispy pancetta and fresh sage.

chicken saag n rice

Kids - picnic tea (grapes, cheese, banana, apple, muffin, crisps, choccie treat)

Us - 'meaty pasta' (sauce is mince, celery, carrot, onion, bacon, chopped tomatoes, red wine, Italian herbs - mixed with penne pasta. Bottom layer in dish then cover with cheddar, add another layer then finish with parmesan and bake in the oven). YUM! Should be just about ready!

salmon & watercress fishcakes (flipper dippers for dd I'm afraid), chips and sweetcorn. And am just enjoying my own hot chocolate mousse
