What's for dinner today?

I did lamb chops, mashed potato, carrots, green beans, onion sauce, gravy and mint sauce from a jar. It was very satisfying to be honest

Like jacjacky it was rainy weather food!

My fish finger sandwich was scrummy, wholemeal bread, tartare sauce and a bowl of salad leaves, tomatoes and beetroot.

My GD’s friend came for supper straight from work and I made a chicken Tikka Masala from a Sharwood’s cook in sauce.
I added an onion, a large red pepper and it was delicious even if very lazy.
The rice which I always cook hours before, chill immediately with very cold water and the refrigerate was really good when reheated in the microwave.
A ready made ,easily cooked meal with no stress.
I like it!!

Saturday is our usual eat out afternoon for something a little different.

Today was Sechzuan ..
Gran Via - Madrid

And repeat..

Turkey sausages, mash and baked beans, MrJ’s pièce de résistance 🙂.

Very retro at GravyGrange this evening, avocado and prawns, followed by duck breasts with orange sauce, dauphinois potatoes and green beans.

Stir fry beef, vegetables, Singapore noodles with green Thai curry sauce
(Thank you M&S)

Macaroni cheese with the remains of cauliflower and broccoli chucked in. Breadcrumbs and extra cheese on top, whack under the grill.

Tonight will be Tempura prawns and French fries done in the air fryer. I will cook mushrooms and a selection of vegetables separately. Quick and energy efficient.

I’m back in to report that today it is a chicken Kiev, with various green vegetables and mashed potatoes. I’m very excited.

Greek SPANAKOPITA ..

‘School dinner mince’ - or rather my version of it - semi veggie, with red lentils and plenty of finely chopped veg, plus a tin of baked beans added at the end.

Dh will eat and enjoy anything - he’s totally unfussy - but this is one of his favourites. With boiled or mashed potatoes and probably Savoy cabbage tonight, since I’ve got some that needs using up.

Witzend I am not used to veggie cooking and don’t usually eat lentils but do you add lentils dry without cooking them first and can you do the same with green lentils?

Working today and no time to travel home.

However, tomorrow I will be working remote.

Anne,

If using dry lentils, they must be soaked overnight in water without salt ..

AnnSixty,

I do lentils or chickpeas or white cannelli or northern white beans all soaked overnight ..

See photo ..

I’ve got a lentil,chickpea and vegetable dhal in the pressure cooker, I made the chicken stock from Sundays roast.
I’m hoping it will help my very sore throat.

I have life envy now on this thread

I'm still reveling in the afterglow of the Chinese Buffet lunch I had today. Absolutely wonderful and....sure beats cooking an evening meal.

Home-made chicken, leek and potato soup made with the leftovers of chicken cooked in the slow cooker, which had made plenty of good stock.
(DH had a dental extraction today.)

M&S Garlic Mushroom Pie with mashed potato, broccoli, white cabbage and carrots. I bought a pouch of their vegan gravy to have with it, was very nice.

ann I use tinned lentils and add half a tin to a cottage pie.

Smoked haddock, cauli with Parmesan crust, new potatoes and peas.

Locanta stew followed by apple and almond pudding with cream.

Homemade fishbpie. Sslmon; cod ; prawns in parsley sauce topped with mash and baked. Crispy on top of mashed potato. My husband speciality dish! Yummy and I font have to do a thing! 🙂
