TONIGHT`S DINNER

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???

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!

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 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.

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!!!

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.

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.

Resolved not to drink in the week, vegasmags

Oh, go on then, just the one

Just having a sneaky Pimms rose

I must say it smells delicious vegasmags.

We've got leftovers.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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)

merlotgran- recipe please for gooseberry curd pudding?

We're having roast lamb with garlic and rosemary, homemade sloeberry jelly to accompany, roast spuds, kale, and fresh blackcurrants for pud. And some red wine to wash it all down. All cooked by DH.

gin, tonic, lemon, ice, mini black olives, Pringles

Good after archery

Delicious meal and many thanks to GN poster for giving me a heads up for roasted beetroot, red onion and garlic with a glaze - I have gone back over the posts but can`t find you and I know I should know your name anyway it was great just concocted my own version and my DH who is recovering from a stroke adored it.

We've just had lime and tarragon roast chicken, new potatoes, steamed carrots, peas, broad beans and baby parsnips from the garden followed by gooseberry curd pudding and creme fraiche.

Roast Gammon with glaze and crackling, mash spuds, roast spuds. cabbage, green beans and cauliflower. Apple crumble plus Ben & Jerry ice cream.
Family arriving around 5pm. They're just back from hols and we haven't seen them for 10 days. DH can hardly contain himself. I'm too busy making dinner... ooops... and on GN

Cold roast chicken, salad and some potatoes cooked with chili, honey and garlic - DH's responsibility!

Tonight on the menu is Slimming World chips, 2 fried eggs, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes - something quick and easy in case the tennis goes on for a long time.

Hope you enjoy the roast beetroot, sparkygran. I keep eyeing up the beetroot in the garden to see if any are large enough yet to make it.

We are having roast beef + everything tonight. Don't ask me why, just that we haven't had it for weeks, months even, so I just fancied it.
Followed by something with gooseberries, not sure what yet, depends how long the men's singles match lasts!
