What evening meals do you make in the summer?

[elsmommy]

I did chicken salad and veggie chicken salad for me last night, but thats all I can think of!!!

Or do you cook the same kind of meals all year round?

you're like my mum then hmc! She's a brilliant cook, but roast lamb, gravy roast potatoes and veggies on a Sunday is the rule, even in 30 degree heat - and she doesn't believe in bbqs, even though they've got a big garden! such a waste!

tom yum soup (thai hot/sour stock base in jar from waitrose) with whatever's in the house (noodles, prawns or shredded chicken, mushrooms, some greens, lime juice and coriander if poss)

(obviously with bottle of cold lager)

You are all so much better than me I live on salads, sushi and takeouts if its hot I can't be bothered cooking. Lots of fruit though

It is only me though as DP works away, I am a bad person.

I have bought the ingredients this morning for Teavee's pasta salad, and also some from the salad thread......
Thanks for the ideas...I was running out of inspiration for lighter meals

Is everyones children eating all the above too. Mine wont touch salad unfortunately so it does mean that I tend to cook proper meals every night. This week has been:

Home made chicken goujons, mini-baked pots, veg
spinach & ricotta cannelloni (shop bought), veg & garlic bread, brocolli & green beans

baked cod, grean beans, cous cous.

tonight lamb chops, mash and veg.

I wish my two would eat salad but if I do salad they only end up getting meat and potato.
