We’re a bit ahead in time here and I’ve just made OH tea. Lamb chops, mixed salad leaves, beetroot and home made coleslaw. I’m going to have kippers on toast later. Sometimes both of us struggle for ideas so what are you folks planning to eat tonight ?

I'm doing Slimming World so menus are planned for the week! Pork steaks, jacket potatoes, carrots, peas and green beans for dinner, followed by fruit, sugar free jelly and low fat yoghurt

Salmon fillets, done in the steamer, and flageolet beans and broccoli with garlic and a little chilli. Green tea to drink. I'm with you DanniRae and Gagagran - like to plan ahead!

Just finished preparing ingredients for honey mustard chicken - all now in the slow cooker and will be served with wholemeal rice.

SusieB50 Wed 24-Jan-18 10:13:59

I try and use the crock pot as much as possible for meals , so yes it has to be sorted early. Having said that we're having omlettes (chips for DH ) and salad this evening with the nice crusty bread I bought for 20p from Waitrose yesterday! Maybe some green jelly with grapes too ?

The cook (aka:DH) has just switched on a chicken casserole in the slow cooker. (The free-range chicken drumsticks were 74p for a pack of five, as they were very much "reduced for quick sale" in a very reputable northern supermarket. We're only using three; the other two are still in the freezer.)

Either just after we have eaten our evening meal or just after breakfast DH invariably
ask' what shall we have for tea?
I can't answer that as I am full!
I don't want to contemplate the thought of more food.
Suggestions will be forth coming at about 10am ish. Plenty of time to defrost if necessaryroastchicken

Yikes!
Just checked my watchgrin
Salmon, baked potatoes, mixed salad with balsamic dressing.
Jam steam pud and custard .
Sorted!

Long drive home from a long-weekend of grannying this afternoon, so have got posh pizza and bagged salad so that when I get home I can just pop the pizza in the oven and make salad dressing. Oh, and pour a glass of wine.

Going back to the 70s with chicken kiev.

Lovely vegan veg soup (new veg and soup mix added daily), 2 Linda MacCartney sausages with mash and possibly some veg bacon and eggs and a vegan creme caramel. Also a glass of Weston's cider or Holsten lager. A totally vegan feast fit for a king!

Vegetable casserole from the Gransnet recipe on Monday.

sarahellenwhitney Wed 24-Jan-18 10:37:43

I will have my main meal around six pm. Tonight it is to be a vegetable and lentil casserole and dipping in garlic bread. Followed by sticky toffee pudding.

curlilox Wed 24-Jan-18 10:40:58

Chicken stir-fry. A great way to use up bits of veg that are not enough for a portion.

kittylester Wed 24-Jan-18 10:42:15

School run this afternoon and I won't be home till 7 so chilli from the freezer and packet rice with sliced hard boiled eggs on top.

Lynnebo Wed 24-Jan-18 10:42:40

I'm still recovering from a brain haemorrhage last Novembet and am invited to either my daughter or my son's home for tea most nights so I'm having whatever they are cooking - so spoiled!!

Nannylovesshopping Wed 24-Jan-18 10:47:38

kittylester that sounds interesting, have never eaten eggs on rice like that, another to go on my must try list, will obviously be enormous by the summer if I even get half way through the listgrin

gulligranny Wed 24-Jan-18 10:54:55

Pork chops, grilled tomatoes, chips done in our Actifry, peas & sweetcorn. We usually eat at 7 pm listening to the Archers (yes I know, sad or what!)

Hm999 Wed 24-Jan-18 11:03:47

Veggie sausage casserole, mash and French beans

Lindylou57 Wed 24-Jan-18 11:11:55

Homemade Moussaka. Not had it for a while and just have a craving.

Christinefrance Wed 24-Jan-18 11:18:04

I used to love chicken Kiev Lindylo must try it again now you have reminded me.

We do a weekly menu plan before tackling the supermarket on a Friday what we have on what day occasionally gets swapped around but not often.
I find we spend less that way.

Witzend Wed 24-Jan-18 11:19:30

Since I have lots of cooked chicken to use up, a substantial mulligatawny soup, with plenty of veggies, apple, rice and curry powder, and chicken stock from the carcass.

Charleygirl Wed 24-Jan-18 11:21:56

Last night I cooked a Thai chicken curry and that will be 3 suppers sorted. The previous 3 evenings I had a beef casserole cooked in the slow cooker. I cannot be bothered thinking what I want to eat each day- I prefer to prepare and cook in advance. Less wastage and more economical.

Scribbles Wed 24-Jan-18 11:23:51

Home made spag. bog and salad; cold stewed apples and Greek yogurt to follow if we're still hungry.

toppers Wed 24-Jan-18 11:25:50

Oh how I wish I was organised. I rarely know until about and how before tea time (around 5ish) then anything I can find , often sausages/pizza / jackets .... ONE DAY I WILL BE ORGANISED!

Sheilasue Wed 24-Jan-18 11:26:26

Chicken just got it out the freezer salad with mine and oven chips for h.
