What are you making for dinner?

JIL

I made lasagne for dinner tonight. With salad.

I love pearl barley in soups. There used to be a grain, in a yellow box took about 10 mins to cook, I loved that in soup but haven't seen it for a few years. Cant remember what it was called.
The other thing I have started adding to my soup is frozen mushy peas, the ones that are whole and need a half hour boil. Just gives the soups some interest. I dont let them get to the mushy stage.
Like these.

Dinner tonight is stir fry noodles with whatever veg is in the fridge, plus a steamed chicken breast for OH,
we quite often pick up downpriced egg noodles in Aldi and they freeze really well.
I’ll make a sauce from cupboard items

I'm not cooking.  But the OH has some lentils and sausages bubbling away.  NOM!

Slow cooker pulled pork using a leg joint that might have been in the freezer since the last ice age. Wish me luck.

I had a Christmas dinner from 2023 and was surprised how good it still was - only another 5 or 6 lurking in the bowels of the freezer ...

we have some red cabbage & apple that's been waiting for goose at Christmas since about 2020.

tonight will be a light repast of sandwiches after treating him indoors to a pub lunch.

I'm confined to barracks with a streaming cold so pulled out some leftover pastry from the freezer and filled it with a globe artichoke that needed eating, tenderstem broccoli, defrosted frozen peas and sweetcorn, some ys white cheese, breadcrumbs and two eggs all mixed together. I grated some cheddar over the top and this is what came out of the oven.



I roasted some parsnips and a bit of swede at the same time to go with it and it was delicious.

@mse kelvin heres hoping your Dinohyus leg was ok. 
I popped into the local coop for their eggs, and there was a young lad sat on the floor, next to the eggs,  doing the reductions, he actually asked me if I wanted the two packs of salmon for 50p each. Rude not to say yes, although I declined the quiche. 

Came home and made salmon fishcakes which we had with tenderstem broccoli and some hollandaise sauce.

Don't feel you have to make something "new and different". Some of us prefer the old and comfortable foods instead. I would much prefer to simplify my meals - and it would help my diabetes if I did. I cook part of my meals and my roommate cooks the other part and he always wants to include tomato and onions in every dish - neither of which I should have.

I have some boned, skinned chicken thighs and a jar of harrissa and am contemplating what to do.  Likely I'll mix some harrissa and yoghurt and give the chicken a good soak and then bung it into the oven to yummy up.  I have a fresh courgette and some frozen chunks of pepper which might get bunged in with it.  And maybe served with rice.
