What's for dinner/tea?

[Glam]

... am I missing anything?

Yes my invite, where is it?

Be nice to me, I know where @littleme lives!

Meatballs. In an attempt to have another meat free option, Asda plant based ones for me, normal beef ones for him.

Just chucked an Aldi mac and cheese with lobster, crab and crayfish in the oven.

Had better, had worse. Wouldn't jump through hoops for it.

Made the mistake this morning of asking youngest what he wanted for tea this evening, sooooooooo Tuna Pasta Bake it was. And loads left over for tomorrow night as well. Makes a change from Chicken I suppose.

I’ve made loads of Cottage pies. A large one which was enough for us tonight and tomorrow.

I made 2 smaller ones, one for my elderly next door neighbour and another one for a friend who is ill at the moment.
Would have made another for an old dear down the road that I keep an eye on but although I had loads of the meat mix left unfortunately I have run out of mashed potatoes so she can have hers another day.

Pasta & veg sauce with garlic bread.

I've just suggested to the OH we have cottage pie later in the week. It's his job to make that and he always says it's only a winter food. Well tough, we can pretend it's winter.

Mines different every time I make it.
Today I had loads of bits of vegetables left so it went in the food processor and then got added to the mix.
So as well as the onion and garlic and tomatoes I added courgette, red pepper, carrots and mushrooms.
I only ever use 5% fat mince from Aldi.
I think today it might have been a bit veg overload and not so much meat but that's not a bad thing and it tasted ok.

I think everyone has their own recipe. Mum only ever made it was mince, onions, oxo and mash, whereas he adds carrots, peas and cheese on top. As a kid we had it as part of the meal so there was generally veg and roast potatoes on the side, nowadays it is the meal.

Sausage lentil stew with lots of chilli!

I'm proper domesticated and also made a chocolate orange cake! Only after taking it out the oven I found the orange I should have put in it...

Either way it's yummy!!

Steak & Blue cheese salad.

I'm not a fan of steak, but this was really quite nice.....

every week since lockdown pretty much make this with the bacon substituted for quorn veggie bacon and spaghetti for the linguine, apparently I can cook. I'm not bored with it yet: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/courgette-tomato-linguine

Sweet potato curry with chickpeas!

Ate early as I have tutoring today (I'm the tutor not the student!) Really loving it!

Will follow with a piece of cake afterwards!

KFC. Nuff said.

That looks lovely, I grow courgettes every year & we usually have what I call 'Pasta Americano' in the summer, = courgettes, bacon, garlic, peppers, onions, 2 x tinned toms, chilli powder & whatever pasta is around. Its a filling, cheap & delicious meal.

 

[littleme]

Homemade meatloaf (from the freezer as the carer made 2 last time), roast potatoes, carrot n sweede mash, cauliflower cheese (out of the freezer & pimped with extra cheese) and some kind of tomato chilli sauce.... Nom Nom Nom.

Good job he didn't make three of them cos you'd have to throw one away

I think he might have just read that, as he's just stated he's making 3 next time, one for eating & 2 for the freezer....

We’ve had “store cupboard ingredients” prawn curry.

Jar of Aldi butter chicken curry sauce, but I use gigantic tiger prawns instead of chicken. Add onion and a jar of peppers and some sun dried tomatoes. Just gorgeous.
