Today we are having roast beef, roast potatoes and parsnips, green beans, tender stem broccoli, carrots and Yorkshire puds. I know there will be plenty of beef leftover, still deciding what I am going to do with it, possibly something simple like cold beef, chips and peas or I am wondering if maybe to make a veggie stew in the slow cooker, dice the beef and add it near the end of cooking time with some dumplings.Hope everyone had a good as weekend as we possible can given the current circumstances.Well Behaved women seldom make history

Love the sound of your pud C_J
Tonight I cooked some pasta and used up an open tin of tomatoes, sliced up some hotdogs and chucked in some frozen spinach. Oh, and tons of mozzarella. Twas very nice too after a weekend of tidying and sorting the garage, dusting off the patio furniture and painting some of the exterior woodwork. Looking forward to work tomorrow for a restFeb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Roasted Mediterranean veg, pasta and DH had the last of the sausages from his trip to the butcher's the other day. I'm a bit proud of what I had though... I made too much filling for my freeform pie yesterday so I took half of the leftovers, mashed it roughly, formed into two little patties, dipped in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and fried them. Smokey veg cakes! They were gorgeous.Avoiding plastic, palm oil, UPF and Nestlé4

Lunch today will be vegetable soup - mostly carrot - to which I have accidentally added a bit too much harissa paste. I've tried toning it down with extra potato and some milk, but it's still making steam come out of my ears! Luckily Mister C J likes spicy food, so he is unlikely to complain
Supper will be some of the leftover roast pork from yesterday turned into sweet and sour pork with rice. I've made a white chocolate cheesecake for this week's puds.

For tea tonight we are having Hairy bikers sausage stew with butterbeans and leftover sourdough bread from yesterday. Cannot wait already. I made it on Saturday as the sausages needed cooking. Every time I make it I think I should make this way more often!
Not sure about lunch at all.. but better start thinking about it soon6 -
Lunch for us today was a Spanish omelette and we are having leftover roast beef tonight with chips, peas and pickled onions.
