What's for dinner today?

It was going to be baked potatoes with prawn cocktail and salad. Unfortunately the potatoes were very spotty and grey under the skin and they went in the bin.
Instead DH harvested the first of our home grown potatoes. They were lovely.

Dessert for guests tomorrow, very light and low calorie. Irish Coffee Meringue Gateau.

Wednesday dinner menu is still unplanned.

From the book Ballymaloe Desserts.

To me the words “low calorie”, “Irish Coffee” , “meringue” and “Gateau” do not belong in the same sentence! 🤣🤣

Others said it was fantastic! No eggs for us, others did enjoy!

On our way home, so overnight caravan site stop.
Cornish pasties and baked beans.
Banana and custard.
Nice and easy and Yummy too.

Chicken stir fry again. Can't stand for too long, so I cut up all the veg and chicken in the morning, then bung it all in the pan at teatime.

Pan fried cod, parmesan baby potatoes, roasted tomatoes and peas.

Stuffed jacket potatoes, fruit salad on greens, breads. Chocolates.

Spicy cottage pie, sweet potato on top and cabbage.

Been out for lunch so will only need something very light. maybe a boiled egg about 8pm.

I had jam on toast, I am beginning to wonder reading these posts that I should start making more of an effort

Sounds "just the ticket" to me!

Tonight we’ll be having plate beef mince pie (homemade by the local butcher) with veg, mashed potatoes and gravy. Maybe fruit to follow if we still feel hungry.

Spag Bol.

Courgette chickpea ‘meatballs’, basmatti, breads, green salad (form greens and tomatoes I grew), and the dessert I pictured above.

Yesterday we had battered sausage and chips from the chip shop in the next village. Delicious!

Dinner this eve was New England pot roast beef with vegetables and gravy. Yorkshire pudding turned out lovely, hadn’t made that in awhile and hubby was surprised!

Roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, mixed vegetables and new potatoes from the garden.
Gooseberry pie made with gooseberries grown by DD's father in law.

Vegetarian shepherds pie with tender stem broccoli, followed by strawberries and cream.

I made Polish stuffed cabbage leaves with steamed vegetables.

Cauliflower cheese with a jacket potato.

If this match finishes soon, if not, a cheese sandwich!

These all sound delicious. I think we'll be having beans on toast as it was village hall luncheon club (me in the kitchen, DH a 'customer') so we both had a good meal at lunchtime.

I’ve had such a long, hard day that I’m having baked beans, bacon and mushrooms. Disgraceful, I know, but they are nutritious!
