What are you making for dinner?

I won't be cooking dinner today. Been to Church this morning and going back for Cafe Church at 4pm. I gave out the caramel topped cakes this morning and kept the jam/coconut ones for the service later. I will take the egg & bacon pies with me this afternoon - new recipe for me - I usually take sausage rolls as my contribution to tea.

Spaghetti puttanesca and broccoli with blackberry and apple pie after

Cheap ingredients and foraged blackberries make it fairly frugal and wholegrain pasta and broccoi mean it has some nutrition for a meal considered a treat by us. Also managed to use up some lurking olives and 1/4 jar pesto from the fridge.

We are having a big Greek salad with garlic and herb monkey bread on the side (random Costco purchase), and some sausages for those that want. 

The Chana Dahl was a hit last night, I only made half the recipe just in case, but it went nicely with our chicken curry and I had the leftovers for lunch.

Off in a bit to make the rest of the apples into sauce most of which will be frozen although some might be wanted with the pork we're having for dinner.  With pak choy and new potatoes. 

Afters will be some of the leftover apple almond pudding.  I really like it despite it being a Delia recipe (just don't like her! too much of a fussbudget!!!).  It's annoying though as the recipe calls for 4 oz of ground almonds but the tiddly pack contains nearly 5 oz so it will be wasted unless I can find a reason to use it.  Might end up just dumping into another cake or muffins at some point.

@Brie I'd be tempted just to use the 5oz of ground almonds, I'm sure it won't make that much difference overall, just taste a little more almondy. If you're worried it would, maybe reduce the flour qty by 1oz to compensate?

Yes - I should have.  No flour in the recipe (a rare non gluten bake in my repertoire) so that is not an option.  I'll need to get the baking basket down for when I make the next cake or muffins and the almonds will be there so they may go on top of a Dorset apple cake or into the banana oatmeal muffins.  

Had meant to take a photo of the pudding but forgot and then we mostly ravaged it.  The remnants don't make a pretty sight.

Some of the no meat mince I made with mash and Yorkshire puddings, yum.

It was supposed to be lamb pilaff tonight, using up some of the Sunday roast however I collected a box of chestnut mushrooms from the community fridge yesterday which need using up quite quickly. I'm just turning those into a pan of mushroom stroganoff for tonight and we'll have the pilaff tomorrow.

leftover pork for sandwiches tonight.  we also have some goats cheese so I might have a bit of that as well.  need to go out to get a baguette!!!
