Food Rut - ideas needed!

SalsaLala · 07/04/2018 18:06

I’m after some recipe inspiration please, we’re in a bit of a food rut. I’m trying to cut down on the amount of jars and frozen packet stuff we have and do more proper cooking.

I have a DP and toddler DD who are not great with vegetables, DD only really eats broccoli despite my best efforts. I blend a lot up and sneak into tomato sauces! I don’t really like meat except chicken, bacon and fish, so we eat a lot of quorn mince, pieces and sausages!

Current items on our rotation that I would already class as cooking reasonably properly (admittedly simple!) are chili, pasta bolognese, omelette, spinach pasta, toad in the hole... any other ideas for things that might suit our fussy family?!

You could do a veggie shepherd's pie with quorn mince and/or lentils
Chicken stew with dumplings
Cod / chicken wrapped in bacon (or parma ham if you're ok with that)
Salmon fillets with Philadelphia and crushed ryvita on top
Risotto - roast chicken is amazing but prawn is nice too

chicken,bacon,brocoli cheese pasta bake.
chicken with some phili in themiddle wrapped in bacon.
have you tried roasting veg.peppers.onions,garlic,carrots.sweet potato on a big baking tray.works well with any meat,pasta rice.would go well with some sausages,
wedges and sausage bake.so the sauce you use for bolognase adapt for the sausages.(or chorizo.)then use potato wedges for a topping or sliced thin potatos.
salmon noodle parcels.they are delish.you can add some broccoli and spring onions to it and its basically a noodles nest,fillet,veggies,little sesame soy sauce and cook in foil parcel.
macroni cheese with fish fillets on the bottom or bacon in to shush it up
chicken thighs and potato stew with a stock sauce and peas and bacon.splash of cream at the end and possible some dumpling r nice bread with it.
