Sorry little green, no idea how to help, if they are similar to a hotdog, maybe just a brief zap in a microwave, or if more like traditional sausages, oven bake?I’m making a full on roast beef dinner today, The beef was from a joint I cooked and froze LO’s a couple of weeks ago, making Yorkshire’s, roasties, parsnips, carrots and broccoli. HM Ice cream and shop bought strawberries for pud. When I’m not working I enjoy cooking things that take a bit of time, that I don’t generally have through the week 👍Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

I've bought chicken sausages before little-green, and I roasted them then sliced them into chunks to add to pasta with mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes and red peppers. They were okay, but I wouldn't rush to get them again.
We are having roast pork tonight with roast potatoes, cabbage, carrots and peas, Yorkshire puddings, apple sauce and gravy. I also have some parsnips and onions which need using up so am making a side dish of creamed parsnip and onion puree. I am hoping to get two more meals out of the pork after we've had the roast - I had planned pork and red pepper meatballs on parsnip mash for tomorrow night, and a lemony pork ragu on fresh tagliatelle for Tuesday - but the joint wasn't quite as large as I had hoped (an online shopping delivery) so it might be a bit of a stretch to eke it out that far!3 -
Seafood BBQ today, mackerel, Dover sole, crab, garlic prawns with HM baguettes, salads, Aioli new potatoes. HM meringues, cream and strawberries for after.

That sounds amazing!
I will be using up some of yesterday’s roast pork plus some red peppers to make meatballs to serve in a thick garlicky tomato sauce on top of parsnip mash.
There are only a very few strawberries left for dessert but I’ll make them go a bit further by serving on top of a dollop of Greek style lemon yogurt.2 -
