what are your families typical weeks dinners?

[brimfull]

need some inspiration.

www.waitrose.com/recipe/Chicken_and_Red_Lentil_Curry_with_Toasted_Cashew_Nuts.aspx

This is delicious. I use whatever plain yoghurt I have in the fridge (natural, greek, whatever) if i don't have any soya handy. I also don't always toast the cashews if I'm feeling lazy.

ps. the Waitrose Beef and chickpea curry is nice too

Things we eat a lot of:

tom yam soup
egg fried rice with a lump of protein atop i.e. salmon fillet, pork steak
sausage, red onion and apple stew (a MN recipe! it rocks)
sausage and mash
veggie chilli and rice
home made pizza
pasta with some variety of home made tomato sauce
pasta with pesto and veg
roast dinners on weekends (trying to cut down on these though, our poor waistlines)
beans on toast
jacket spuds
stuffed peppers
chickpea curry, dhal, veg and naan
home made soup of whatever variety
oven food (nothing like a fishfinger chip + bean tea sometimes)
burgers and oven wedges
veggie spag bog

This is what we had/ will be having;

Monday- sausage, mash and peas

Tuesday- fish and chips

Wednesday- spag bol

Thursday- chilli and rice

Friday- Beef stew and dumplings or chilli seafood mix with tagliatelle

Saturday- roast chicken with veg

Sunday- chicken and leek pie

Omelettes

Looking at these we are all pretty similar
I wonder how things are in other countries?
Any mnetters from somewhere other than UK enlighten us?

Tonight we had roast gammon, mash and veggies.

I'm feeling depressed now. Do your children eat all these things too or just the grownups teenagers?

I could cook all these delicious things BUT noone would eat them... even had to rinse sauce off the sausages in the sausage casserole...

my DCs eat whatever we eat but I don't think you are alone swanriver if your DCs don't. My nephews wouldn't even look at most of the meals that I give my DCs (age 3 and 7) and yet my nephews are age 9 and 12.
Don't despair though. Keep offering it to them and their taste buds might well change.

your all making me hungry!

roast dinner
salmon and noodles
sausage and mash
chicken curry and rice
