What are you making for dinner?

Smoothie for breakfast.
Cheesy pasta for lunch again.
I have sirloin steak left over from the deal I bought a few weeks ago. The first one we used with a fakeaway mixed grill. Anyway, tonight I'll cook and slice the other one and we will have it in wraps with salad and cheese. I might even push the boat out and toast the wraps to melt the cheese......few chips on the side. Choc ice for pudding at some point in the evening just like the last two nights.

Wow I’ve been awol for a few weeks so lots of lovely meals to catch up on, making my tummy rumble .....drooling at the sound of some of them.
Shopping day today so the fridge was a little bare, lunch was cheese, apple, cherry tomatoes and crackers. Dinner tonight is a tuna Niçoise salad, needed something cool and light after ending up yesterday with chicken tikka masala on the hottest day of the year.Well Behaved women seldom make history

OH has gone to the market and shops when he returns I'll make us a 'breakfast' wrap.
A couple of options for dinner, depending on how the aforementioned shopping trip pans out. Option 1 is HM pizzas but it depends if OH can get some tomato puree. I don't want him going out of his way to especially get it. The bases are shop bought we will put out own filling on. Plan B-he's visiting Chinese supermarket therefore another option for dinner is what he gets from there.
EDIT- Tomato puree is here-it's a go for pizza.3 -
Posh butchers dry aged steak tonight, with local asparagus and new potatoes which was supposed to be a Father’s Day treat, but the father in question had a huge hangover last Sunday so it went in the freezer 🙄

Oh well I guess if he's going to have a hangover it may as well be on fathers day IM
After my huff with the egg poacher last night (more swearing than Gordon Ramsey) i have restored order to the hob.
Not sure about dinner tonight, we have plenty in, was even thinking 'we have no fruit' but we have bananas i bought and also several tins that I bought 'just in case ' incl mandarin slices...crucial in a pandemic right 🤔 (i don't actually like mandarin slices much 🙈).

🤣 Tinned Mandarins always remind me of pudding for Sunday Tea at my Nan’s, a fruit flan with evaporated milk, the mandarin slices artfully placed in concentric circles, with a glacé cherry in the middle, covered in quick-jelNote to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

Dinner tonight is a family bubble birthday celebration so I’m doing a hot and cold buffet, I’m hoping for plenty of leftovers for the next few days lunches. Not bothering with lunch today as had some lemon and lime marmalade on toast earlier.Well Behaved women seldom make history
