What are you making for dinner?

Lidl version of Ikea meatballs with pasta and tomato sauce

I made this recipe Cauliflower Bake – The Balkan Kitchen and used frozen spinach because the cost of fresh spinach in M*rks yesterday was astronomical and the bags were the wrong weight for the recipe amount IYSWIM. I'll draw a veil over dropping the nutmeg I was grating into the yoghurt and egg mixture when my right hand seized up and say it has possibilities. If I repeat it I would substitute the spinach with a veg I prefer, chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces, increase the parsley, cumin, nutmeg and seasoning and use cheaper, tangier yoghurt for more flavour. I ate it with green beans, sweetcorn and petits pois all from the freezer.

Bought an air fryer today, so tried it out on the kids by sticking some chicken strips and wedges in there - seems good? It does sound like an aeroplane taking off tho. 

DH will be home in about an hour, he will be my next victim with a frozen bean burger & HM chips (I’ve got a cold and not feeling hungry 🤷‍♀️).

We had tuna pasta bake, with garlic bread and salad.

HM pizza tonight,  dough and sauce from the freezer.

OH is having three cheese and jalapeño. I'm having beetroot (to use a jar up that's been lingering for ages), goats cheese and spinach

@goldfinches - that cauliflower bake sounds delicious, I've copied it into the recipe folder on my laptop and will probably give it a try next week. I have also been nicely distracted from work by browsing that Balkan Kitchen site - there are some lovely recipes there. I'm tempted by the apple and semolina cake

Olio duck wrap for lunch 

Off to the gym this evening so quick snack of a hotdog (last one of an open tin), fried onions with the last of the pickles

Brie

Burgers.  No bbq as no propane so they'll need to be pan fried.  I'll consider buns.  I am quite happy to pretend to be posh and eat with a knife and fork and would be happy to have just one bun or even just one bun bottom.  I shall be tutted at no doubt.  But a iceberg lettuce has been purchased and that means I can have a nice salad, maybe with the crispy onions on top!!!

Some sort of jam puddings have been purchased for afters only to use up left over custard.  If I hadn't have been on an important call when OH was heading out to shop I would have said to just get bananas.  Not sure I've ever had jam pudding... but then again I've led a very sheltered life.
