What are you making for dinner?

Tonight we are having, at my 14 year old son's request, 'those little egg things' - essentially it's a cross between mini frittatas/pastry-less quiches, and I add whatever we fancy/have in to them. We are having them with wedges (I found 2 opened bags in the freezer, with enough between them to do us 3), salad (DH/me) and some sort of veg (sweetcorn likely, DS). I'm making a pot of lentil and carrot soup today too, to have as lunches.

Edit, my son is 14, not 15 yet!

Chicken and bacon pie fro local butchers with jacket spuds and salad for them, huge pork chop for ne
edit: too hot for pie, so that’s in the freezer and huge pork chops on the bbq all round 👍

After an Easter weekend of feasting, I think our dinner tonight will be nothing more than a ham & cheese toasty; or we may even push the boat out a little further and have scrambled egg on toast with a splash of Worcestershire Sauce!

Phew, I certainly live in the culinary fast lane!

I’m making a Chinese Five Spice, honey and soy sauce chicken and veg stir fry for tonight, using chunks of chicken breast from yesterday’s roast, and veg from the Community Larder - asparagus, pak choi, tenderstem broccoli, spring onion, mange tout, baby corn and courgette. There’ll easily be enough for tonight and tomorrow.

There was loads of asparagus, so I will make a batch of cheese pastry to make an asparagus flan for Thursday’s dinner. I also picked up leeks and potatoes, so that will make soup for this week’s lunches.

@Frith - well done for getting your like from Jack, very impressive.
@Brie - sorry to hear you've got the virus and are having to miss visits, get well soon.

I made these hot cross buns yesterday 



which are delicious but so stodgy that I could only manage a couple although I can report that they taste very good with stilton.

Thanks goldfinches....I'm actually glad the cousins' visit has been put off as it wasn't really at all convenient.  The one who arranged it announced it to us rather than suggested and is not receptive easily to alternatives.  So the fact that she was giving just a couple of days notice of 2 people coming to lunch on a day that I work from home wasn't going to great at the best of times.  Won't matter in a couple of weeks when I stop working - which she knew was happening.

As for your hot cross buns - I agree that look rather lush.  And the recipe gave me a much needed giggle....

Knock it back by kneading for about 1 min – this will get all the large air holes out and give you nice even buns.

I keep telling the OH that all I need is a bit of massage to get nice even buns.....

I did do wraps with chicken pieces and salad last night.
Tonight I need to use up some carrots and cabbage  - I have some sausages in the freezer to use with them and some onion gravy would be nice.

We had sausage and mash with yorkshire puddings, peas, sweetcorn and gravy.

Peanut butter curry with rice, Quorn chicken, onion, carrot (YS), broccoli and pepper. OH also had mushrooms (YS).

Followed by buttermilk pancakes with banana and chocolate spread.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs (YS) on sourdough toast (YS) and lunch was leek and potato soup (made with a YS veg mix) with cheese rolls (YS).

Two down with covid in our house, we’re both feeling ok but I completely lost my sense of taste/smell today which is just bizarre. Made chorizo/mushroom/leek pasta for dinner - couldn’t taste it, but could feel the warm sensation of spicy chorizo? 🤔 So annoying.
