Those tapas dishes sound really delicious, rach. I'm craving Spanish food now! However tonight we are having turkey and vegetable curry (made on Boxing Day and frozen). I'm doing home made chilli flatbreads to go with this instead of rice.
We'll be eating from the freezers a lot during January, they are absolutely full to bursting.1 -

Made a steak pie filling from a big beef joint in the freezer. It made 8 generous portions.
So 7 were squeezed back into freezer.
One made into pie for husband tonight, daughter had an m & s vegan mushroom pie. I had a nut cutlet. All served with, roast potatoes, root mash, red cabbage, kale, mushy peas and gravy.
Unfortunately daughter had bought some passionfruit cheesecake slices, meaning to eat them before January, but they were still in the fridge today and she is doing veganuary. I didnt tell her the label said suitable for freezing, me and husband enjoyed them with a cup of tea.3 -
Eating out of the freezer and Xmas leftovers still, so it was veggie burger, mash, and veggies, followed by rhubarb crumble and custard that was lurking in the freezer. enough veg and mash for tomorrow and will probably have that with sausage.
Florenceem - that pie/roll looked nice!

Lunch not dinner yesterday I found we had two sliced burger buns, two big white baps and two finger rolls all left from different lunches previously, so they got halved and loaded up with various bits, including ham, mushroom, chorizo and cheese with tomato puree/sauce and herb mix or garlic butter and all grilled into mini pizzas.Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Jan 2012: £16,000+ :eek: [STRIKE] Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Sep 2013: £13,023 [/STRIKE]

I made a vegan chilli, served with rice. With some leftover bits from Christmas. It was surprisingly very nice.

HM shepherd's pie and HM pickled red cabbage. Think I will always make my own red cabbage pickle now as so easy and much nicer: 1 1/2 cups of water heated to boiling, add 1 1/2 cups of apple cider vinegar plus tea spoon of salt, tea spoon sweetener, garlic, and caraway seeds and pour over thinly sliced red cabbage.2

Everybody's dinners (and lunches) sound absolutely delicious, even the meat and fish dishes. It's really interesting to see the variety being dished up in different households and I find it inspiring too.
This evening I made Roasted Cauliflower Florets with Tajín Recipe - olivemagazine from Olive magazine which was delicious and easy too, if I ever spot a y/s cauliflower from now on this is what I'm buying it for. I urge you to try it.
NB Mine took an extra 20 mins to reach this stage compared to the recipe.
I ate it with mixed Italian leaves, radishes and baby carrots and it was wonderful.5 -
That cauliflower looks amazing @goldfinches
Yesterdays dinner (which DH cooked) was piri piri chicken, Caesar salad and piri piri beans. Strange combination but tasty!February Grocery Budget: £190.75/£350.00
