What are you having on Monday and Tuesday for dinner?

[Chanel05]

Looking for inspiration! Hopefully avoiding slaving over the cooker for too long in the heat and also 17 weeks pregnant!

I made a huge BLT pasta for lunch today so there’s plenty for tomorrow. It’s from my student days but tastes amazing. Cooked and cooled pasta, with crispy bacon chopped up, salad (lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber) and loads of Mayo and pepper. Give it a good mix and stick it in the fridge for when you need it.

Salad. Had salad today too. It's all I want to eat in this weather.

Our one-dish hot weather favourites:
Greek salad (diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and feta)
Caprese (sliced tomatoes and mozzarella)
Panzanella (soaked bread, tomato, onion salad - sounds weird but is lovely)
Feta watermelon salad

It's lovely to be eating the kind of food that tastes best in the Mediterranean!

Room for once more at your BBQ? 🤤

A pile of salad, coleslaw and sliced meat with boiled new potatoes if we can face it. I meant to do the boiling tonight but forgot.

Lasagne tomorrow, and something with salad on Tuesday

Tomorrow, Greek salad, pitta and cold meats.

Tuesday Quiche & salad with cold new potatoes in parsley, lemon, salt and olive oil.

Lots of melon, strawberries & solero's for during the day - roll on Thursday when it's due to be cooler!

Tomorrow I'll have some salad with leftover chicken, flatbread and maybe some rice plus lots of perinnaise

Not sure about Tuesday yet - will see how hot it gets!

Thanks for sharing everyone! I have lots of inspiration now and hopefully others do too! Stay safe the next few days!

Monday: crab linguine and a green salad

Tuesday: whole roast chicken (bought from the supermarket), baguette, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, garlic mayo - eaten as a picnic as we're going to see some outdoor Shakespeare, which will be fab on a warm evening as usually it's far too cold and we have to wrap up with blankets and rugs!

Chicken Caesar Salad. Pre cooked the chicken and bacon already 🙈both days. I don’t even care, it’s going to be 39/40 here. I have never in my life experienced heat like that so I’m staying out of the kitchen as much a poss. I do have a weaning dd who has no teeth and doesn’t understand salad yet 😂 so she will have a frozen batch cooked something

Tonight we have had

Leftover roast chicken
Garlic bread
Coleslaw
Jersey royals
Finely chopped salad with avocado, chickpeas, sweetcorn, apple, red onion, tomato, cucumber, celery, parsley, yellow pepper and tonnes of lemon juice.

Last night it was chicken thighs marinated with lemon, garlic and herbs and baked; tabbouleh; grilled peppers, courgette and aubergine. Tonight, cauliflower and chickpea curry, rice, nan, cucumber raita. Our kitchen is in the basement and fortunately never gets too hot.
