What are you making for dinner?

Veggie sausage and mash, with veg and gravy tonight.  Hopefully the mash will come from some already cooked potatoes I have in the fridge if they are okay (I'll need to check), and I think I have some carrots that need using as well so they can be the side veg.  It the first time I've been hungry for a proper dinner in ages (no idea why) so I'm quite looking forward to it.

If the potatoes are okay I might also put some in some carrot and butterbean soup which should do for lunches for the next few days and use up the carrots and whatever other veg is lying around.

Fried up some LO rice with an egg, and some sugar snap peas, petit pois, spring onion and pak choi. Lots of soy sauce too.

@Brie -  I just meant that I'm only half way through all the food that had accumulated in the fridge. It's slow going when there's just you. 

I just didn't fancy anything at all this evening so in the end I decided to make myself a treat and made some Dream Bars from an Australian Women's Weekly cook book I found in a charity shop a while ago.
Here's the online version Dream bars | Australian Women's Weekly Food (womensweeklyfood.com.au) 
The good part is that I managed to finish off the jar of home made mincemeat that was sitting in the fridge as well as a couple of eggs and some butter and all the other ingredients came from my larder stores.



Here's mine in my Delia's oblong tin with the liner which is almost the same size as the lamington tin my book specifies, it came out beautifully firm so that it cuts into lovely thin fingers which don't crumble when you eat them.
I think this recipe is going into my folder of useful ones to make for cakes sales and that sort of thing because it tastes so nice and can be sliced up so attractively.

I finally made this tonight, just wanted to say thank you to @goldfinches it was really good. 

Tonight we had moussaka, I really enjoyed it made with quorn and puy lentils.

@JIL - I'm so glad you and yours enjoyed the Dream Bars. Co-incidentally I made them again just yesterday morning to take to my Weds walking group and they were a big hit there too. 

I have been terribly lazy about dinner recently so have nothing more interesting than mushrooms on toast yesterday and a baguette with roquefort, baby plum tomatoes and walnuts this evening to report. I'll try harder tomorrow.

Not been around for a couple of days, DD and her OH have moved in temporarily whilst they rip out and refit their bathroom.

Food has been simple and repeatable as they are working and refurbing, so don’t know what time they’ll be eating.  We’ve had Chilli, pie and mash, curry, mine without the carbs.  Still running down the freezer stash, so it’s helping do that too 👍

not sure about dinner tonight (i've suggested lamb steaks and rice) but my lunch was lovely.  I had a couple of what I thought were small pieces of salmon in the freezer which I chucked still frozen in the oven last evening for 30 minutes.  Left to cool and put one in a pot to bring to work with some baby plum tomatoes.  Wish I'd brought the other as now i'm sitting here staring at the hallowe'en chocs we've been given.

A last minute change of plan for us tonight, in order to use up some random bits and bobs.  I've thickly sliced some peeled potatoes and par-boiled them, and put them in the bottom of a buttered baking dish. I've topped that with leeks (cooked on the hob first) wrapped in slices of ham, and smothered the lot in a thick cheese sauce.  It'll go in the oven later, and there is some fresh crusty bread if Mister CJ fancies some to go with it. I'll be having Friday night wine with mine

Hello all

im feeling so much better today!

Today we are having the Tiktok pasta. I usually add red peppers and asparagus but I don’t have any so it’s just tomatoes, feta, onion, garlic and the seasonings. That usually does us and leftovers . We will probably have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I dont cook on Fridays, its payday, so it's a Chinese takeaway and a bottle of lager.

Had enough mashed potato leftover to make  a shepherds pie just the right size for us two. Had it with beans
