What are you making for dinner?

Defrosting old hm curry & onion bajhi & rice to make room for fresh cooking. Maybe old cabbage roll as well or for lunch tomorrow.

Beef joint cooked in a bottle of ale, yorkshire puddings, cabbage, roast potatoes and carrot and swede mash. For once I didn't make too much, 2 portions of beef went back into freezer.

I also made some soup, not really the weather for it but just fancied some.

I also put the bread maker on, ever since island maid posted the bread recipe I have remembered it. I use the pizza setting to make a dough. So a big thanks for that IM.

I made a pizza for daughter and tomorrows lunch as well as some baguettes. I found a really good way of making the tomato sauce, adapted from a recipe on the internet, it was a small tin of tomatoes, black pepper, herbs, garlic, a little olive oil and a tablespoon of tomato puree, blended with a stick blender. It was something I had not thought of doing and had previously used pasta sauces. It came out really well.

Cauliflower cheese for us to use up some of my frozen cauliflower and some soya milk which needs using - not to mention some of my huge rice stockpile

Plus some carrots which were YL but only bought this week :rotfl:

Decided to use some of the slow cooked lamb leftovers in a lamb ragu mixed into some tagliatelle tonight.

We had a chinese takeaway last night (fathers day treat). Tonight only OH and myself for dinner, so we're having local lamb steak with local new spuds, veg and gravy with some hm mint sauce. I've just put a chilli in the SC, so we'll have that tomorrow night with jacket potatoes.

Tonight's tea is homemade chicken and mushroom pie using the leftover roast chicken from yesterdays lunch, cheated on the pastry though it's a YS bargain Will probably serve with veg and gravy.

We're having the prawn salad that was on the menu last week, but got swapped.

Jacket spud for DH - DS is heading to pub for early dinner and footy with mates - that will end up 'messy' whether they win or not - at least he has tomorrow off too

A kind of veggie carbonara using asparagus tips & garden peas...

I’m back after a busy weekend! Away all day on Friday had a cheeky Chinese on Friday night, was delicious and far too much so also had on Saturday lunchtime. Felt guilty about said Chinese so had pitta hummus salad and chicken for tea all leftover. Just toast on Sunday and as it was fathers day a lovely roast pork dinner – and some cheesecake dear me :T

Anyway this week I have done a food shop and dinners will involve, toad in the hole and some more pork for roasting. Also samphire as it was on offer. Will get a couple of portions out of it all so that should take me up to the weekend, its shoulder of pork what would you all do with that?
