What are you making for dinner?

Tonight I have HM cottage pie from the freezer, and green beans, and a slice of ginger cake with a dollop of HM custard on top for pudding, as I made a pint yesterday and its nice and cold in the fridge.
So will zap the cake for 15 seconds in the microwave and warm it up and pour some cold custard over it

I still have a cooked jacket potato in the fridge + lo sausages/baked beans and an onion. I am doing a big bake up today so need an easy meal.

We are having HM chicken curry (with whatever veg I get in my veg box), turmeric rice and naan bread. 

Am also going to make a Chana Dahl from Meera Sodha’s ‘Made in India’ to go alongside - haven’t tried it before but if it’s nice, looks to be a cheap store cupboard meal for us going forward.

Big batch of no-meat savoury mince, can have mash with it, make a cottage pie from it, pasta etc

Some gorgeous and quite autumnal meals on here these past few days.

Not sure what I fancy tonight. Did have a bucket of chicken strips whilst out watching the football earlier but not eaten much else aside from that today. Feel i need to have something a bit healthier that of late but when I'm cooking I keep thinking about the cost to do so and it's somewhat making me not want to cook / eat like I normally would.

Used up bits again tonight for dinner - sausage/tomato/onion/sliced cooked jacket potato/buttered toast/baked beans.

Afters - jam sponge pudding and custard.

Did a big bake up - 2 x 6 oz vanilla tray bakes - one topped with value strawberry jam and coconut - the other spread with Ald. biscuit spread + sprinkles.

Made shortcrust pastry - 2 egg & bacon pies - costs 80p per pie. I used cooking bacon from Asd.- one third of a 75p pack and eggs were 15 for £1.35.

Had to go to Aldi today as we had run out of a few things for my daughter. I really fancied some burgers so we got some. We had it with chips and salad, mayonnaise on the side. I also fried off an onion. Hubby had his with a bun but I had a massive baguette at work so I had it “naked” as they say

I had two more of yesterday's chilli paneer kebabs with basmati rice, corn on the cob and grated carrot salad followed by coffee and a tangerine. I still have loads of the paneer left in the fridge and I think it might make another three meals so it's proving to be much better value than I originally thought.

I’ve just put a half leg of lamb in the slow cooker - it was an expensive piece of meat at £15, but I am hoping to get several meals-for-two out of it. 

Tonight it will be a roast dinner with plenty of roasted veg (and maybe a Yorkshire pudding, which we like with roasts of all kinds). Tomorrow bits of the leftover lamb will go into a lamb pilaff which will feed us for two days, on Wednesday it will be flatbreads topped with hummus, a sprinkling of shredded lamb and thinly sliced red onions, and I am hoping there will be enough bits left over to make into a little shepherd’s pie for Thursday. It’s Lamb Week in the CJ household! 😂

Chicken casserole with mash and green beans.

2 small portions will be set aside for GS’s nursery dinners.

I’m thinking of buying a silicone giant ice cube tray for his meals
