What are you making for dinner?

Just about to set off a chicken casserole in the slow cooker - chicken thighs, potatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, tin of tomatoes.

I have some cherry tomatoes that are starting to go a bit wrinkly and discovered some cooked parma ham bits that have been rattling around in the freezer for months, so I’ll do a version of bacon & roast tomato risotto tonight and have that with a garlic bread slice and some green salad on the side.

We'll be finishing up the hm meatloaf we had yesterday, with a little creamy mash, some red cabbage and carrots, and lashings of gravy. It was really nice.


For pud I have combined some slices of banana (which were starting to get a bit too ripe), some chopped up chocolate brownies (which were just a little bit too dry) and smothered it all in some homemade chocolate custard. It tastes fab.

Lasagne with garlic bread and salad here tonight. When I actually pull my finger out and start making it.

last night was a roast dinner at a friend's house and tonight was supposed to be meatballs and pasta but I defrosted chicken stir fry pieces instead (that will teach me to do it after too many glasses of wine). So tonight will be chicken stir fry with fridge raider vegetables/salad and some herb wraps.

I am going to have to learn to shop and cook for 2 soon, once DS2 leave the end of August - took me ages to readjust when he went to Uni.... DH is worried about his waistline already :rotfl:

Don't worry....I'll come and move in, your menus are always amazing

Well haven't been on here much as been out and about in RL and not really anything in terms of proper meals being consumed, I did go a bit mad buying the Caesar salad kits from Lidl so mainly been consuming those.

Last night we had our first hot meal in what feels like ages - retro fish in the bag and rice. Tonight I had fish in the bag again, with some LO pilau rice I found in the freezer and some petit pois.

Trying to use up some things we have in the cupboard (like several jars of jam, muffins from an xmas hamper, fruit in the freezer etc) before shopping although I always feel I'm saying / trying to do that.

Yesterday I roasted a chicken, served with some pigs in blankets left over from Christmas, home grown green beans, cabbage, carrots and potatoes dauphinose. I had nut roast.
Today I put some lamb shanks in the slow cooker, I had hallomi, served with couscous with loads of other bits in it.

Kerri you would be more than welcome

Tonight will be Spag Bol for the men, Courgette spaghetti for me.

Need to make some ping meals for DS2 he has loads of long shifts coming up for Cowes week, so needs something easy to grab - chorizo and mozzarella pasta bake and chicken pasta salads this time, then as much fruit and snacks bits as he wants

Making the most of cooking for him

Tonight will be beef stir fry with lots of YS items including the beef, sugar snap peas, beansprouts and spring onions.
I could have bought baby sweetcorn too but that's not to my taste.

Tonight we're having cheese burgers.
