What are you making for dinner?

I am having fish and chips in the air fryer tonight but does anyone know if it is possible to make the dry part of pastry in a blender, not got a food processor now.

I am 60, so the Doc sent me for blood tests and I must now try to eat healthier.

But I am struggling to know what meals are healthy. The super cheap Asda spagbol shows all green health icons.

I am trying to reduce my carbs and sugar, so bought 3 ready meals for £7.50

The traffic light system on the front of the food packs doesn't even mention carbs.

I will start off with an Asda £2.50 salad tomorrow.

Doing a meatball traybake here, HM meatballs in thick tomato and garlic sauce with mozzarella and grated cheddar over the top. Garlic bread for him.

@JIL hubby says do you deliver? 🤣 I haven’t got dark treacle for Parkin , but have promised him a Jamaican style ginger cake 😊

@sevenhills I’m not advocating anything, but do eat Keto (lowcarb) most of the time, I can recommend this very friendly uk based group, I don’t profit at all from this recommendation and admin please feel free to tell me to remove the link if it’s not appropriate, https://www.ketofitnessclub.com/ they have a whole host of advice and support.

Greek night tonight.  Lamb chops, pitta, humous, etc etc.  Really looking forward to it!!!

I had a mixed bean soup made with dried kidney beans, white beans, yellow split peas, chick peas, carrots, potato, sweet potato, onion, celery, vegetable stock, garlic, chilli flakes, tinned tomatoes and dried pasta

Shepherds pie made from LO lamb from Easter, mine without potato but will add some grated cheese

Bockwurst in buns tonight.  Well OH told me he had sausages and could I get some soft rolls or buns.  So I got some scotch rolls but also picked up a bake your own baguette pack.  Apparently he meant I should buy hotdog buns - wish he'd actually said that.  I can't see what the big difference is.   I'll happily have one cut in half in a soft roll.  Won't eat more than 2 especially as there's some coleslaw to go with.  He did say (grumble, grumble) he'd have to go to the shop (grumble, grumble) and buy some proper rolls (grumble, grumble).  But I think he'll just go grumble, grumble,  grumble, grumble and eat what's available.

Broccoli Pasta tonight.

Rigatoni, then add to it, tenderstem Broccoli, Cream cheese and Pesto with diced bacon, its lovely, great cheese on the top at the end.

@sevenhills if you look at carbs on the back of the pack nutrition label 5g per 100g is low carb. 

Husband picked up gluten-free Dr Oetker gluten free Mozzarella pizza from Sainsbury's. We think that's the best that we have tried.

 Looked at video from local fishmonger and they have wild caught sea bass, rascasse, plaice, dabs and huss. Sending husband to buy fish 🐟 on Saturday 😁

veggie pasta Bolognese tonight. Made a batch of the sauce yesterday with yellow sticker mushrooms, courgettes and frozen veggie mince. Will probably spin it into a chilli for tomorrow

Leftovers tonight 🙌

@MrsStepford love this time of year when the sea if full of goodies, can’t wait for Sea bass or Mackerel on the BBQ 🤩
