What's everyone having for dinner?

Vegetable pasta bake this evening made with gluten free pea pasta (Waitrose) which is really colourful.

Steak, sauté pots, homegrown salad and homemade Bakewell tart.

This evening I’ll be having tuna pasta bake and olive ciabatta bread with a bit of salad on the side.
DH is opening a bottle of Prosecco as I type. ?

Merlotgran you can’t be worrying about your delicious tea yesterday (made my mouth water). I believe 2 things to be true:
A diet always starts tomorrow,
and
tomorrow never comes! ?

Very nice home made broccoli and stilton soup at lunchtime with crusty bread

Fish and chips from the chippie - me
spicy lentils - husband

Probably not one of my healthier days but nice nevertheless.

Meat pie, veg and new potatoes, all as a takeaway from the village pub. We have had a takeaway from them ever since the lockdown started and also picked up meals for an elderly neighbor and his wife. It's a little treat each week and a support for a local business, (makes up for DH's Guinness money they would usually get on a Friday.

We had a posh dinner tonight for my birthday. I cooked, DH did the veg prep.

Peppered sirloin steak, our first new potatoes (Yum) carrot and parsnip puree and minted sugar snap peas. I also did a nest of tempura battered onions to plonk on top.

Washed down with prosecco.

Absolutely stuffed afterwards so we've only just had pudding which was thinly sliced home grown strawberries - that's because only two have ripened so far, on top of some vanilla ice cream.

Last week the batteries ran out in the bathroom scales. I ordered a new pack which arrived this morning. Have I replaced them???

Nope!

grannysyb I love risotto but I’m the only one who does. It’s such a faf to make just for one. Can I come to your house

Chicken and mushroom risotto, cooked by DH, his signature dish!

Riverwalk I’ll send half in a Jiffy bag and whiz it to your house.
Ellen it’s lovely that your D is spoiling you a little today. M&S fragrant Stocks are always glorious ?

It's eaten Plaice, new pots and salad. Apple pie and ice cream.

D went to M&S you see and returned with two big bags of goodies and a bunch of stocks of which I can smell all over the place, they're beautiful and spicy. She won't let me go with her and said there was a queue.

That's look lovely Puzzler - any left?

I have a cheese and onion pie cooking as we speak, homemade. We have this with baked beans. A favourite in this house and a simple easy meal.

Riverwalk I’ll try your recipe for chicken and butter beans, it looks yum!!

Here’s the sausagemeat plait (well looks bit more like a loaf) hot out of the oven .

For lunch I had this lovely dish which I'd batch-cooked at the weekend - mine was saucier than the picture and very nice and filling.

Chicken & butter beans

But that was a few hours ago and my intention to have smoked salmon and salad tonight has gone out the window, as it's gloomy and windy outside!

So I'm undecided and looking for inspiration.

Making a sausagemeat plait, with potato gratin, broccoli, sweetcorn and peas. As it’s Friday our after meal treat is a bar of Cadbury’s chocolate (other brands are available!) - a Big bar. ? And wine. There’s a Pinot chilling in the fridge ?

We had peppers, courgettes, red onion, tomatoes, feta cheese roasted in garlic oil and coated with Greek spices bought in Kalamata and a lamb chop. Lovely and not too heavy. My oldest. granddaughter loves so much she has taught her daddy cook it.

Roasted vegetables. Chicken breast in breadcrumbs . I’ve recently discovered the joys of brining chicken. Makes it so tender.

Pan fried salmon steaks, new potatoes, carrots and frozen peas followed by raspberries in jelly with a little cream. Coffee just ready now.

DH, who does most of the cooking, is doing his signature lasagne

I've been inspired by some of the meals you've all been having.

This evening, I made Chicken Rogan Josh, from scratch, with rice. Magnum ice cream for afters

An Asda Wagyu beef burger in a malted brown bap with cheese and onions. I will have the same tomorrow as the burgers come in a pack of two. Very succulent, and huge!

Ribeye steak and salad.
