Do You Have A Roast Dinner Each Sunday?

Fave at the min is Chicken, though i manage to stretch it to 3 meals... Full chicken costs £3.99 at the butchers,

I use just over half for the dinner for the 4 of us then use 3/4 left overs to make Mondays chicken veg pie (parsnips, carrots and peas and sweetcorn go nice in this) Carcuss gets boiled to make stock for soup which is tuesdays lunch or dinner (parsnips, carrots and potatos and cream go in this)... Normally theres enough left over soup for the freezer too,

Also a slow chuck pot roast (needs a good 6 hours!) for deepest darkest winter, Certain supermarkets are doing 2 chickens for £5 I think at the min????

Bacon eggs beans sausages and toast!

Rarely make myself a roast dinner due to living alone but if I did it would be a whle chicken, stripped, roasted carcass turned into soup etc and freeze leftover chicken.

I had value noodles last week but thats prob not much help lol

EDIT sorry this won't make much sense as it has been moved to a thread that is different than the OP's one which asked for cheap alternatives to roast dinners which is not quite the same as a question about the type of roast dinner we have....

Just thought I would ask all you money savers, what you have for your Sunday dinners?
I am watching the pennies at the moment so thought I would see what you are all cooking.

DH likes to cook a roast - we have shoulder of Berkshire Pork tomorrow, to celebrate his return from far-off climes :T I make a pudding to go with - HG pear frangipane tart tomorrow

When DH is away, I cook just what I'd cook in the week, but we have a pudding :j

I'll add this to the exisitng thread to give you more ideas.

We have something 'special' but it isn't always a roast. It is often the day when I take time out to cook something tricky or time-consuming. Last week it was a slow-roasted free range chicken (some may recall it didn't go quite to plan, as it was garnished with hot glass). This week I will be making a silverbeet, spinach, ricotta and feta pie as we have a lot of greens and also my daughter's friend, who is muslim, will be here. Other Sunday favourites include roast lamb, casseroles or tagines of various kinds or home made soup followed by pudding.

Not every week here, depends what we're up to/what we fancy! I do like doing a roast as then we have roast again on Mondays (leftovers with extra veg) and the chicken gets used up all week! In laws have a sunday roast without fail, we go there about every 3 weeks. Tomorrow we'll be having the M&S meal for a tenner.

never unless I'm at my mums or have guests, I'm another loner and I don't eat huge amount of meat anyway. I sometimes might make a cottage pie with swede instead of potato which will last me all week or be frozen in portions.

Well now I can answer the OP's question.. and the answer is breast of lamb, stuffed with some Portobello mushrooms bought (reduced obviously!) yesterday!! - KT1985 - THANK YOU!! - sounds fantastic!!

Glad to be of help. I cooked that nearly a week ago and hubby is still going on about it so it must have been ok

A Sunday without a roast and Songs of Praise is simply not a Sunday in our house.
As a child we always had roast dinner whilst listening to Family Favourites and the Navy Lark followed be either sardines on toast or egg n' soldiers whilst watching Songs of Praise (we are not a particularly religious family - Songs of Praise was always on a teatime:rotfl:)
I, and the kids, would feel cheated if we didn't have a roast. In summer, it is often roast chicken with salad and in winter, lots of roast beef, pork or lamb complete with roasties, yorkies etc. Yum yum.....

EDIT: I've just noticed - I got another star!!!!!!
