What’s for tea tonight?

VIOLETTE You didn't eat the cats food,did you?

Chicken breasts stuffed with sweet chilli cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. Only because the cheese needed using up and got fed up of having it on crackers at lunchtime!

cavewoman, I must give that a go. My OH makes Jamie's chicken vindaloo which is good and very similar to the vindaloo in Goa. It is tasty rather than fierce and seems authentic to me.

We are having home made chilli with lots of onion, garlic and home grown chillies.

I’ve made a recipe out of a leaflet thar came in the paper. It’s mainly chicken and veg top with potato/sweet potato mash. Hope it tastes ok.

I write out a weeks worth of menus and shop accordingly once a week.
Tonight we are having roasted veg lasagne and one of our grandchildren is having spag bol as he doesn’t like lasagne.
Oh, and garlic bread, by request!

We had our main meal at lunch time. This evening we will have mackerel pate and toast.

I plan my menus a week at a time and adjust if necessary. I really couldn't cope with having to think about what to eat every day, then realise that I haven't got a key ingredient then have to either go out and shop for it or replan the menu, find I haven't got a key...................................

Devilled kidneys on a bed of sesame noodles made by my own fair hand. Followed by strawberries, Greek yogurt and a shaving of chocolate.

Yesterday's cottage pie reheated with baked beans added for DH. I'm having a trout fillet.
Followed by strawberry cobbler, slightly warm.

Pasta carbonara.

We don't eat much at night - main meal at lunchtime.
I do feel peckish though and usually have something on toast, followed by a yoghurt.

Oh Dear. I am throwing a couple of ready meals into the oven tonight for my partner and I.
I have a dreadful cold, and quite frankly this is as much as I want to do culinary wise.
Nannylovesshopping.
Years ago, I attended a buffet where they served an orange jelly which had lots of raw grated carrot in it. Despite my apprehension, it was delicious served with a savoury salad.
Worth a try.

We’re on old favourites this week Roast Pork Sunday -cold on Monday, stew and dumplings yesterday and lamb loins with creamy mash, broccoli and cauliflower tonight. The rest of the week is fish. Ever since we discovered whole stuffed mackerel whilst on holiday we love them and the bloke only charges £1 each and will de head and bone them for free.

I've been out for a yummy, girlie birthday lunch so don't have to cook tonight, hurrah!

Since DH died I can’t be bothered to cook. Tonight I had half of a Lidl vegetarian lasagne. Had the other half yesterday and it was very tasty.

Half a carton of Greek yogurt with a few prunes for pud, and am now having a coffee and a Belgian chocolate.

Steak and roast butternut squash. I am at my daughter's and she has bought it as a treat. I haven't got the heart to say I don't really like steak, but I shall eat it with a smile on my face and tell her how delicious it is.

Just washed up,after having tagliatelle,with mushroom,garlic,tuna and pepper sauce,with salad ..yum, it was unplanned,just thrown together with stuff from the fridge and storecupboard,but mostly I do have some idea what we have during the week.

We had Chunky Sausage & Tomato Pasta from the bbcgoodfood website. It’s a favourite in our house.

Chicken breast, green salad and coleslaw.

Veg lasagne and salad followed by chopped mango with ginger yoghurt. Yum

Don't you all have lovely meals? DS likes very little that is not plain so mostly we have plain roast chicken breast, pork or beef steaks, sausages, occasional meat balls or fish pie all with mashed potatoes, carrots, broccoli, green beans, peas and sweetcorn which are vegetables I have eventually got him to eat under duress. Today we had gammon steaks with a fried egg on top because he said he has gone off gammon!

He will not eat onion so I grate it into the occasional cottage pie or beef casserole so he doesn't know. He won't eat salad or pasta but will tolerate rice. I am so bored.

I bought a Tesco curry for two for tomorrow as sometimes I just can't be bothered!

As I am on my own, the meals I eat vary considerably depending on my mood. My favourite is scallops just eaten with bread and butter and mayonnaise! Sometimes I will have baked beans on toast, sometimes a 'proper' meal. Tonight I couldn't be bothered so microwaved a COOK chicken curry plus a pouch of rice!

well that was great reading through some of your good idea`s ,,for lunch ,breakfast and dinners ,i have filled my note book ,one thing if i may ask ,we never have pork because i cannot stand the smell of it cooking ! ,but i love roast pork from the deli counters ,and i used to love pork dripping on toast ,,(now banned as to many cals, very sad ),yet i love the smell of other meats and chicken cooking ,how strange is that ,thank you again for the great ides`s

We had meatballs in minestrone sauce with assorted vegetables .

Tagliatelle and blue cheese sauce with bacon lardons. One of my favourites.
