What is for dinner today MK II

Home made wedges & spicy bean burgers. Still on the freezer clearout! And probably a glass of wine or two because this moving house business - or lack of it - is s0dding stressful!

This evening we are going to prepare a pizza ! Not from scratch this evening.

Just a frozen Casa Mía "Doctored" 4 cheese Pizza ..

It is a German brand, Dr. Oekutner ( I probably spelt this incorrectly).

And a glass of wine that we have left over from our last 2 lunches.

Oven fish and chips with mushy peas.

Sainsbury's veggie lasagne. Delish!

A cross between Cullen Skink and chowder, with smoked haddock and white fish, onion, streaky bacon, potatoes, sweetcorn and parsley.
Followed by the 2nd half of yesterday’s Eve’s Pudding, with custard.

MrJ is taking the grandchildren out, I’m having leftover cottage pie.

Mary Berry's Sausage Supper - we are so sophisticated.

Friday - 23 / 02 / 2024 ..

This evening we are having Risotto agil Aspargi = Asparagus Risotto ..

Green aspargus
low salt chicken or vegetable broth
Extra virgin olive oil
Carnaroli Lombardia Rice
Butter
Shaved Parmesan Cheese 36 month old

Always a glorious dish .. Beverage: Rose Prosecco ..

Nice weekend wishes.

Chilli in the slow cooker, with Mexican rice and tortilla chips and guacamole and salsa dips.

Trying to eat everything out of the freezer before we move! Pizza last night and I think scampi, chips and peas tonight. We foolishly bought a huge bag of frozen peas about 2 weeks ago and now realise they need to be eaten in the next week! Peas with everything 😆

Greek salad, home made sweet potato wedges (in Air fryer), humous. Apple and blackberry crumble from the freezer with crème fraiche.

A lamb stew, made from the remains of a roast (as much fat as possible cut off) with potatoes, pearl barley, turnip, carrots and peas.
A cold weather favourite here.

Thursday - the 22nd of February 2024 ...

Since we had a traditional lunch of polenta with mushrooms, we are having a light quick simple dinner.

A mini Spanish Omelette for my dear and I am just going to have goat cheese Ricotta with fresh apple slices and Clementine slices.

Nice evening wishes.

Out for a curry.

Home made melt in middle salmon fishcakes; unbelievably easy to make and very tasty. With salad

Chicken casserole, crusty bread

Previously frozen, home made butter chicken, basmati rice and pickles.

Cottage pie with broccoli and carrots, MrJ is chef.

A stir fry, with prawns (Asda’s mini Smartprice ones, defrost in no time) plus plenty of assorted veg and noodles.

Potato, lentil, banana curry. Turmeric lemon rice. Tomato, Cherry Chutney. Cabbage Salad. Browned Naan. Fruit.

Plaice, roasted new potatoes, tomatoes & spinach. (The recipe came from BBC Good Food). As it’s not asparagus season, I used spinach instead, which I cooked separately. I’m not a lover of asparagus, so probably wouldn’t have used it anyway. All the other ingredients went in the one pan, in the oven, starting with the potatoes first for 30 min to get them cooked through, then added the fish and tomatoes for 15 or so minutes (until the fish was cooked). A tasty recipe which I would use again.

Fishcake, chips, mixed veg

We ate chicken, leftover from yesterday's roast with salad, coleslaw and beetroot.
I'm still being careful with my fat intake since my recent gallbladder flare up.

Spaghetti Bolognese, garlic bread

A small half shoulder of lamb, which will be very well done, to get much of the fat off - with lots of roast potatoes, carrots, Savoy cabbage that needs using up, proper gravy and mint sauce. 😋
We should have had it yesterday, but there was an impromptu visit from a dd and 3 Gdcs and it wouldn’t really have been enough, not to mention not quite the Gdcs’ favourite, so I rustled up alternatives.
