What's for dinner/tea?

[acpoynton]

Soup (curried parsnip) and a cheese toastie ... simple yet effective.

 

[That-Crazy-Rat-Lady]

Jacket potatoes, Tesco's Mediterranean pasty (3/10) and beans!

I've been very productive today and made a batch of minestrone soup for lunch at work! Boom!

 

[littleme]

Hunters chicken, dolphin-nose potatoes, asparagus & broccoli.

Comfort food.

Brioche bred & butter pudding and custard if we have room later.

 

[Carole]

Yesterday, pan fried sea bass, dauphinois potatoes, asparagus and wilted spinach.

Today I made celery soup for lunch and lots more for the freezer.

Tonight I copied @littleme and made the Pinch of Nom Lemon and garlic chicken tray bake that she made the other week.
Haven’t got the book so I used the link that she’d very kindly provided, and very nice it was too.

Made a cake today, so I’m going to have a slice of that shortly.

I can top that.

Jamie Oliver vege chilli - (basically the same as my own recipe but with sweet potatoes and different beans!)

I then made it into a pie with tortillas and extra jalapenos!

Yum!

 

[littleme]

Not sure why*, but we are having picnic style buffet food.

*The carer didn't take the chicken out of the freezer in time to defrost & make the Honey garlic chicken that I wanted.

I'm sure he did that on purpose, just cos he wants pork pie.

(Mini sausage rolls, mini spring rolls, chicken gyoza, mini quiches, mini baked camenbert - all out of the freezer & left over from Christmas.

Pastrami & 2 types cheeses - in the farm/deli shop delivery this week.

Gherkins, olives, pickled shallots & Christmas chutney - in jars from the store cupboard.

Coleslaw & potato salad - the only 2 things we had to buy to go with the other things).

It's amazing how you can throw a meal together from the freezer & store cupboard.

One pan pesto cod, served on a layer of basmati rice, shredded courgette and cherry tomatoes.
Lovely.
Made quite a bit so enough left for lunch tomorrow, reheated IN THE MICROWAVE.

Do you do takeaway?

 

[littleme]

Honey & Garlic chicken, Singapore noodles & veg stir fry.

 

[Thehooperman]

Haggis, just because I caught one hiding on the shelves in Tesco and it couldn't run away.

Leftovers!

Even better the next day with chips!

Tonights culinary offering was the other half of last nights home made chicken pie, with the ½ inch pastry.
I could have bought one from either Sainsburys or Asda when I was in, but the sauve cheeky sod that is my youngest reckons - ''I've been really spoilt by my Mummys cooking, why should I want substandard stuff?''.
He's getting his own tmrw, I don't finish work untill 20.30.

 

[Trumpet]

Beery, beef hot pot type thang going down at Trumpet Towers

 

[Carole]

That looks gorgeous @Trumpet

 

[Trumpet]

Was just the job on a cold wet evening.

It really does!

I'm making meat & potato pie on Sunday (well, I'm dumping the pie filling in the slow cooker before I go to work, then I'll make the pastry/pie & veg on the side when I get home, cheats tea).

Looking forwards to home made pie...

I don’t blame your son, with pies, home made is always better than shop bought.

So tonight I can’t really be bothered.

Just pan fried some mushrooms and added a tub of shop bought mushroom sauce.
Added fusilli. So it’s veggie mushroom pasta.

When he gets home from Birmingham he might be expecting a culinary masterpiece, what with me being at home all day without him.

Oh dear.
