I feel like we haven't had one of these threads since the evenings have started getting lighter and the weather (hopefully) is getting warmer.

I am absolutely sick of choosing what we eat every single day of my life so everybody please tell me what you're having tonight and inspire me!

Aubergine parmagiana and a sharply dressed crunchy green salad with cos, cucumber, salad onions, dill, avocado, dill and feta cheese.

Depending on how much the aubergines cook down I may be adding garlic bread as well!

This thread is so helpful - I'm often out of ideas. Well, the sun is shining, it's 22 degrees and we are having cheesy jackets/baked beans/baked onions. We're having salad tomorrow so I expect it will be arctic conditions.

DS is making Nadiya Hussein's chicken shawarma with spicy raw slaw ( with cabbage instead of broccoli).

Tonight DH & I are having pan fried lamb leg steaks, with creamy herby lentils & cabbage.

TheChosenTwo · 17/04/2023 18:23

We’re having a bbq! Sun has come out - dh is excitedly lighting coals.
He’s marinaded some chicken wings, made lamb koftas and also made some jerk belly pork which goes amazingly crispy and tasty. I’ve prepped the wedges. Dd is making some flatbreads and ds will be on slaw and salad duty. I will just eat it all when it’s ready 😂

Iftar: Dhal, home made gf naan, crispy beef in pomegranate molasses and kheer for dessert.

Cheats Pho. Was delicious.

@whatsyourpoison13 I've never seen rabbit mince in the shops, where did you get it please? I really want rabbit shepherds pie!

Roast chicken leg, leftover potato mash and cabbage.

lemonyellows · 17/04/2023 19:08

Breaded chicken, new potatoes, salad and spring onions

CurlewKate · 17/04/2023 19:17

@YellowAndGreenToBeSeen How do you make cheat's pho? I made it once, and it took about a million hours and then I didn't fancy it....

troppibambini6 · 17/04/2023 19:44

Chilli made with brazing steak rather than mince, rice, tortilla chips and flatbreads.
Soured cream, salsa and avocado.

I buy quality broth from an Asian supermarket. Add noodles, chilli, Itsu frozen gyoza, coriander, lime and a medium boiled egg! Very simple.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 17/04/2023 19:55

Oh, and broccoli and spring onions.

Bellesboy1218 · 17/04/2023 20:02

Chicken fried rice made with left over chicken from yesterday's roast. Added in lots of veg, soy and sweet teriyaki sauce for flavour. Went down a treat in my house
