This evening it’s chicken risotto as I needed to use up some leeks and yesterday’s roast chicken.

It’s happily cooking in the Thermomix whilst I waste time on SM!

Risotto is my go to comfort food, I just love it and I always have ingredients to cobble one together.

Rib eye steak (we share one).
Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and Shallots roasted in the AF.
Asparagus and broccoli with a vinaigrette sauce.

(I've just realised that I can check on here for how long leftovers have sat in the fridge!)

Pancit (crispy tofu, no chicken), cucumber salad, fruit.

Muesli
Chicken salad and jersey royals
Supposed to be Sicilian fish pasta, but lunch was quite substantial so will decide later - might be crackers and cheese v

One of our favourites tonight. Asian parcels. Sugar snap peas, broccoli spears and peppers with a piece of salmon on top. Sauce made from ginger and dark soy poured over. All encased in a grease proof paper parcel. Usually eat with wholemeal rice.

A substantial veg/chicken soup, with some of the last bits of the chicken plus the stock, and parsley dumplings (veg suet) - simmering away for another 10 minutes.

Oh, and a chilled NZ Sav Blanc too. 😀

Spaghetti Bolognese with a large(ish) glass of Chilean Malbec.

I will make bread rolls in the morning then we will have chicken sandwiches for lunch.

Pan fried 😀 sea bass with Jersey Royal potatoes, asparagus and broccoli spears.

Broccoli and cheese quiche, baby potatoes and peas. Friday’s tend to be easy as we go to our local at tea time.

Norah Fri 15-May-26 13:00:45

Noodles, crispy tofu, spinach, peanut butter sauce. Salad, berries.

Green Goddess is an interesting salad dressing.

I'd not heard of it 'til recently so I bought a bottle to try.
'Interesting' isn't how I'd describe it; I thought it was revolting. But each to his own as they say!

It depends on the recipe one uses. And the fresh herbs.

We are having the quiche we were going to have last night.
We had unexpected visitors for lunch yesterday.Wagu burgers, salad etc., so didn’t want a large supper. I just had a slice of cheese on toast.

We are having my sister and her DH for the weekend and I’m cooking. My DH is the good cook in our house but I can have my moments so my menu for this evening is.
Paul Hollywood’s smoked salmon and spinach roulade.
Venison casserole with asparagus, and mashed potatoes
Nigella’s Calvados Syllabub to finish.
All washed down with a glass or two of nice wine.
How’s that for one upmanship? 🤣🤣

It's linguini with spinach, cheese and mushrooms tonight.

green goddess

What is that?
I thought it was the name of a fire engine

Norah Thu 14-May-26 21:59:38

Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts, quinoa, salad, green goddess, bread.

And berries.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 14-May-26 21:21:19

Well, we had the Lamb Tagine that was planned for yesterday, as the left over lentil stew turned out to be quite sufficient for a main meal.

Tomorrow
Poached egg
Kiwi fruit
CB Cottage Pie with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. (Out all afternoon)

Chipotle chicken - fairly sure it has a proper name but not sure what it is.

Jaxjacky Thu 14-May-26 21:01:45

‘Cottage pie’ chicken mince, broccoli and carrots.
