idly wondering what everyone else is eating. We are spag bol (from the freezer) and salad and then an apple crumble I found - at least I think it's an apple crumble...forgot to label it and have been caught out before

Sausages, mash, beans warmed over caramelised onions and with some raisins and one chopped date (it was kicking about) mixed in with them, plus some carrots.

Grandson here today so I made him stir fried chicken and vegetables with noodles. DH and I had macaroni cheese and a salad. I hate macaroni cheese and salad but he loves it, so it made up for the casserole I made him eat on Sunday! Now we're even.

Aduki bean casserole with home-grown green beans and roasted pumpkin. It's getting chilly here, need the carbs.

Cold roast beef, bubble and squeak and salad

Home made fish cakes made with smoked mackerel left overs, tinned pilchard, small cod fillet (poached), potatoes, oats (for crunch and to bind), beaten egg.

Will make a salad and steamed asparagus to accompany.

My eldest son is home for a couple of days and requested Lancashire tart..quiche when all said and done....but made with sliced onion,potato and crumbly lancashiire cheese. My fav cheese especially on toast with brown sauce. You can take the girl out of Lancashire etc....

Hairy Dieters Caribbean chicken curry with coconut rice. Very exotic!

Out for lunch - chicken chassuer red cabbage carrots and peas. No pudding as decided I must diet, then had a block of nugget!

We are having a large sausage roll with jacket potato and beans I really am going to try and make OH have less red/processed meat we'll start tomorrow.. trouble is he's not keen on chicken or fish, but I've told him he has to eat chicken and fish at least once a week from now on.

hildajenniJ Mon 26-Oct-15 13:45:14

Salad with lunch tongue, new potatoes, coleslaw, and my OH also had pease pudding. To follow, a nice cup of tea and a "happy hippo".grin

DH is making spag. bol. (He cooks Mon to Fri and I do weekends.)

We eat a lot of ham for our 'soup & a sandwich' lunches so maybe we should change it to tuna, problem is I like mayo with my tuna but DH doesn't.

Auntieflo Mon 26-Oct-15 13:04:21

Well, there's no hope for us then. We are having a bacon and sliced tomato sarnie for lunch, then beef steak for supper. See you!

kittylester Mon 26-Oct-15 12:41:41

Following the news that bacon and sausage are to be avoided we are having a fry up!! DH said that he really needed bacon and sausage as he kept seeing them on tv! We rarely indulge so I'm going to spoil him! grin

Home made Moussaka with NZ minced lamb.

ninathenana Mon 26-Oct-15 09:52:03

We're having lunch out so dinner will be "ifits" DD's saying, meaning if its in the freezer that's what we're having grin

Maggiemaybe Sun 25-Oct-15 22:43:05

We had Delia's fish pie, as cooked by DH. Delicious. Haven't had it for a while, but it won't be long till we make he makes it again.

merlotgran Sun 25-Oct-15 22:17:59

We had shoulder of lamb done in the slow cooker with roast potatoes (Sunday treat) steamed cabbage and mashed root veg. No pud!

So busy with the building work we didn't eat until 2.30 and with the clocks going back I was starving by then so piled on the extra veg which is normally saved for tomorrow's soup.

Ho-hum hmm

Roast chicken dinner cooked by DD2. Followed by stewed apple (boring)

Grannyknot Sun 25-Oct-15 22:05:01

Home made veg lasagne ... the sauce a ratatouille made with the usual plus some roast butternut but also on this occasion a punnet of various fresh sprouting beans (found at Co-op) - some were peppery. It was delicious.

I cheat with the sauce by using creme fraiche and grated cheese, easy peasy.

Seconds and therefore no pudding!

harrigran Sun 25-Oct-15 19:23:21

Lasagne and salad at lunchtime because we were going to my sister's for coffee and cake. She is a good German housewife and always has very fattening torte.

hildajenniJ Sun 25-Oct-15 19:22:16

Stuffed chicken breasts, roast and mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans, roast parsnips, chipolatas and gravy.
I now have a milk loaf in the bread maker, and think I might make myself some sort of banana pudding if I can find a recipe for one person.

loopylou Sun 25-Oct-15 19:16:15

Soy and Honey baked Salmon, chestnut mushroom, garlic and celery hot salad and remains of plum crumble for DH. Ice cream and crumble for me.

Just phoned to order a take away from the (excellent) Bangladeshi half a mile away. We've been away overnight, busy driving home (I hate the m6 these days) then unpacking, putting washing in and tidying the garden, before walking the dogs. No cooking for either of us, and the food will be great.

kittylester Sun 25-Oct-15 18:17:08

We went out and I had Caprese salad, roast beef, garlic roast potatoes and carrots, parsnips and kale. My pudding was a specially made Eton Mess as all the puddings on the menu contained gluten. It was all lovely! I have dosed in front of the TV for most of the afternoon! grin

Pittcity Sun 25-Oct-15 18:14:06

Roath leg of lamb cooked with garlic and rosemary. Ate early because our tummies didn't know the clocks had changed.
