@Kobanidaughters Hope you start to feel better soon. Impressed you're cooking at all. I'd be serving beans on toast.

@TheMethodicalMeerkat I still have smoked haddock in the freezer I bought to do a risotto with but I couldn't quite bring myself to. You are reassuring me. Also, love your aubergine, goats cheese and honey flat bread - how do you cook the aubergine? I am going to think about a version of that or possibly do it with my halloumi and asparagus!

@Triffid1 I usually spread a little oil on each side and grill it rather than frying which I find slurps up too much oil. Probably need to be careful not to overcook before adding to the flatbreads.

I do love a smoked haddock risotto but the pasta bake is just so much easier and I must say it was very tasty with some steamed broccoli on the side to cut through the richness .

Tonight was a Higgidy cauliflower cheese tart with baked spuds and salad.

Last night was a veggie curry with bhel and coconut chutney.

Tomorrow is quesadillas stuffed with cheese, black beans, red onion and red pepper, served with guacamole.

Beyond that, no idea.

Thanks all - slowly but surely. No longer on crutches around the home and hopefully driving again next week!

@lexloofah The marmalade haddock was a lot nicer than I expected! It’s the Nadiya Hussain one here We used fresh instead of tinned baby potatoes and added plenty of veg, it was certainly a hit with the dc.

Thnx, that marmalade fish actually sounds pretty good. Hope you enjoy going out on Fri

Veg chilli, cauli rice and usual toppings
Chicken shawarma skewers on bbq with pitta and crunchy salad
