What are you making for dinner?

Moneybear

It is my last day off before back to work tomorrow so I'm making a chicken and sweetcorn soup using the carcass from yesterday's roast. And I'm making a baked spaghetti and chicken recipe from my pinch of nom cookbook I received for christmas.

Back to normal for us too today. Either chicken risotto, or chicken and chorizo pasta (I'll see if Mr VH has an opinion on what he wants), and then whichever one we don't have tonight will be dinner tomorrow.

I'm doing seafood pasta with a wilted salad, (been in the fridge too long)

HAH!  OH used to do wilted salads but that usually meant frise lettuce topped with a hot dressing.  Sometimes it was chunks of hot bacon in olive oil and white wine vinegar topped with hot boiled eggs.  Other times it would included chicken livers.  Both were scrummy but chicken livers are a favourite of mine......wonder if he would make dinner if he could find some livers when he goes out........(chicken livers on rice, in risotto, in red wine on crusty bread.....goodness I'm hungry!!)

We’ve recently watched Glass Onion too, not the best film we’ve seen, but not the worst either 🤷‍♀️

my lovely OH wanted to buy me a gift for Christmas (or putting up with him over Christmas 😂) I don’t do flowers (prefer plants), nor chocolate, and had enough wine to drown a fleet, so he treated us to a local leg of lamb, which I am sure had been cross bred with a Dinosaur in was HUGE. Anyway, delicious roast today, Shepherd’s pie due for tomorrow and Lamb broth soup with the bones and leftover’s - don’t want to waste a bit of it 😍 the red is wine BTW, makes the BEST gravy 🤗

I realised its Monday not Tuesday, so I have done jacket potatoes with the salad, which once it had been in iced water perked up a bit. 
Husband will have ham, I will have a small tin of tuna and a boiled egg.
Daughter wont want salad, she will have some vegan chicken wings (how is that possible) with broccoli, corn on the cob and mushrooms. 

Pasta tomorrow.

Re chicken livers, I saw kilo packs for £1 in a discount shop near me. I thought how rarely they are seen. They weren't selling well even at such a low price.

I have some cooked Bratwurst sausages in the fridge - will warm them and have in a finger roll with some tomato & basil rice - easy dinner.

Sausage and ham filled tortellini with homemade tomato sauce and some mozzarella.

I made veggie chilli with Quorn padded out with canned lentils, carrots, onion and peppers. Perfect comfort food for the day before going back to work. 

Frozen fruit and veg bags like peppers are my new favourite thing. No more veg going mouldy and soggy in the fridge when I get too busy or tired to cook. Is it actually more economical though?? I haven’t had time to work it out.

I made a slightly more than a half quantity of this recipe Grandma's Mushroom Puffs Recipe (food52.com) which used up a packet of puff pastry and nearly 8 ounces of mushrooms as well as some double cream and butter. It was easy and delicious although I think I didn't use quite enough salt in mine so I'll be heavier handed next time I make them.



Aren't they pretty looking? They're dangerously moreish though so beware if you have gannets in the house!
