TONIGHT`S DINNER

Hot smoked salmon and lemon rice followed by strawberries and meringues with a dab of clotted cream. Quick and easy after a day riding the Tour de Yorkshire and playing in the men's singles final. (Took some doing but I am a dab hand with the zapper and recording - and pretending)

Went to Dad's and had roast beef yorkshire pud, new potatoes carrots and cauliflower cheese. To follow, homemade pavlova with raspberries and cream. We watched the grand prix, then home for the rest of the tennis.For tea, a bacon sandwich and a glass of ginger beer.

A simple meal. Roasted veg,. red, green and yellow Peppers, courgettes, red onions and cloves of garlic on pasta, with feta cheese over the top.

That sounds a perfect day's food hilda . I love a glass of ginger beer - my friend calls it soapy water!

Tonight it`s Lentil Bake I`m sure there is a fancier name for it but my name will have to do. New recipie I tried recently and we really love it

Yesterday's roast chicken, cold, with lyonnaise potatoes and balsamic pickled onions.

I'm really enjoying this thread! Tonight, friends are coming round for tea, so we're having roast chicken, roast spuds, carrots, cauli, cabbage and swede. HM meringues with strawberries and cream. As appreciative guests, they usually bring a nice bottle of two - here's hoping!

I must say it smells delicious vegasmags.

We've got leftovers.

Just having a sneaky Pimms rose

Resolved not to drink in the week, vegasmags

Oh, go on then, just the one

Tonight it's homemade vichysoise(spelling?) Soup and to follow, salad and a selection of cold meats. Lunch was sardines on toast. No-one to cook for, DH is visiting DD and family, helping them with moving heavy furniture etc. after their house move. Wish I was there.

DH away in London watching the Tour de France so I had a treat of some grilled sirloin steak and mushrooms and about 10 frites. Delicious. Himself doesn't care for steak so I only have it when he's away. Had a banana for lunch so not too naughty a dinner.

316 cals
- fried chicken covered in harissa paste with tomatoes chickpeas and onion and garlic with green beans.

Had to be sensible today as I bought 4 doughnuts yesterday of various sort to take to my son's to see how his house renovation is doing but he couldn't get back in time and then Wimbledon was on so guess what -I ate 2 and my husband finished the others off!!!

I'm having to do more cooking now that DS is home, It's taking quite a chunk out of my day! Not much tonight though. I bought some prepared Cromer crabs at the market, we will have fresh bread and salads with them, and I'll do a garlic mayonnaise.

Tonight's repast will be chili con carne and wild rice - trying to use up whatever is lurking at the bottom of the freezer. Had the leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch.

I'm being a tad naughty tonight, Lidl 28 day aged Scottish sirloin, (bargain price) jacket potato and reduced fat coleslaw.

With a glass of wine!

phoenix it`s nice to be naughty on a Tuesday was in Lidl`s today and missed that bargain. Tonight it`s leftovers of baked ham, carrots and roasties. Does anyone else think like me that sometimes leftovers taste great???

A homegrown globe artichoke with a butter and lemon juice dip.
Homegrown rhubarb with low fat creme fraiche.

Janer recipe for garlic mayonaise please?

I use this one.

www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/12838/garlic-mayonnaise

But I use as much garlic as I feel like, anything up to four.

PS if it does split, just add a tsp of flour.

Mother has just gone home she is 96 at the end of the month so we ate early on roast beef - veg - raspberry and redcurrant tart with creme patisserie and cream!!!! So slimming.

Italian chicken cooked with herbs, peppers etc. and served with pasta and a green salad. For eleven people.
