So many delicious meals being prepared - this thread always makes me feel hungry!
Tonight I am slinging some peeled jumbo prawns into a wok with garlic and chilli, some courgette ribbons and a little swirl of cream. It's very quick and easy, but so tasty.3 -
Been trying to think of something new to use up some frozen salmon.
I tend to go through Pintrest for inspiration, often trying to find one-pan or tray bake ideas as with a 2yr old and an almost 4yr old under my feet most of the time, less prep helps!!
I've got a casserole dish with parboiled potatoes at the bottom, cream cheese/cremfraishe layer, steamed salmon flaked on top then filled with a milk and egg mix. It's currently in the oven. It's more of an autumn dish tbh but I needed the salmon used up and it's not quite as hot today as it has and will be later this week!Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Jan 2012: £16,000+ :eek: [STRIKE] Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Sep 2013: £13,023 [/STRIKE]
