What are you making for dinner?

Hope you’re doing okay, Kerri!

Tonight I made a salad of rocket, cherry tomatoes and cucumber ribbons, topped with some crispy butter-fried gnocchi, then some thin strips of medium-rare rump steak (one steak between two of us), and drizzled with some homemade chimichurri sauce.

Thanks @goldfinches @C_J

It was a relatively minor op on the scale of things but totally underestimated recovery...the consultant on the other hand has been right on the money with timelines and what to expect...i mean he's only carried out hundreds of these so why wouldn't he know what he was talking about 🤦‍♀️🤣 I think part of my 'oh I'll be fine' was to not worry myself. 
Anyway, first real weekend of doing normal things as such so all good. Just need to not try and overdo now.

My online delivery arrived and we had a roast dinner with pork chop, chicken and vege sausage. I bought a pack of chicken thighs, cooked them in a roasting bag,  good value as the dog got one (bones out) daughter had two and theres 5 left for lunches. Not bad for £2.50.

Just back from a lovely weekend in Bristol, visiting youngest son. Brilliant food choices, we had Korean, Sri Lankan, Spanish, vegan and delicious range of cheeses from Bristol cheese monger. Definitely be back 😊

I did a stir fry of veggies to use up bits in the fridge last night - had it with the hm pasties.
Out this afternoon so need an easy dinner when we get home as I need to bake cakes for tomorrow at the same time. I got some Chilli Bratwurst sausages - FF so will have them in rolls with some salad.

I’m using up bits and pieces to make a king prawn, chicken and veg egg fried rice thing.

Snap! (almost) But I'm cheating because I've bought the Tasco paella and will be adding extra prawns.

I love the way you guys ‘just throw together’ some of the most amazing meals from nothing.  Time for an MSE cookbook? 🤣🤣☺️

Sesame and soy noodles with runner beans (olio freebie) and broccoli (olio freebie). With teryaki pork belly (YS) for OH and Quorn steak strips for me.

Followed by doughnuts (YS).

Had a crack at this recipe just for a treat Best Homemade Chips Recipe - How To Make Homemade Potato Chips (food52.com), ended up eating the lot so was too stuffed for anything other than a coffee to follow.
