This is mine:

Sunday – HM carrot and coriander soup, HM garlic and parsley hearthbreads (Nigella), cheese, fruit
Beef stovies, roasted HG parsnips, potatoes, carrots and onions, HG sprouts; baked apples and custard

Monday – wild rabbit papparadelle with olives (Jamie Oliver)

Tuesday – game burgers with HM rolls and salad

Wednesday – taking DS and his friends out for DS’s birthday – skiing and Pizza Express

Thursday – salmon en croute, salad

Friday – pork curry, rice, salad, naan bread

Saturday – off to the cinema followed by fish and chips

It’s half term, so the children will have cooked brunch with fruit smoothies, and mid afternoon “high tea” of sandwiches, crumpets, muffins, fruit, Welsh cakes, drop scones, thought not all on the same day! I have a fruit cake, some butterfly buns and a sponge cake in the tin, and there’s a full fruit bowl for anyone who wants to snack.

TUESDAY Cheddar and Kidney Bean Pasties with chips, sweetcorn and spinach

Boodle, how do you do these ? I like the sound of them!
thanks

Well I haven't made this concoction before but I just plan on filling them with grated cheese, drained tinned kidney beans and probably a pinch of dried oregano too. I just make ordinary shortcrust, roll into rough circles, fill, pinch the edges together, brush with milk, and bake for about 30 minutes on 200c until browned. I used to make pasties way more often than i have lately but may well go back to making them frequently - they are great cos you can chuck just about anything in there! x

Ems!

Thurs - spag bol
Fri - HM leek & potato soup & cheesy bread stick things (also lurking in freezer! am trying a "use things up" month!)

Hi i think it would be great if everyone adds meals to this thread that they have tried and tested and new ideas they come up with as i can never think what to make for dinner and we end up eatin the same all the time! this way people can look on here for ideas and inspiration and it might give people more variety to make at home!
