This evening it’s chicken risotto as I needed to use up some leeks and yesterday’s roast chicken.

It’s happily cooking in the Thermomix whilst I waste time on SM!

Risotto is my go to comfort food, I just love it and I always have ingredients to cobble one together.

Tonight around 7.30pm it will be home made burgers on the BBQ, green salad, coleslaw along with jersey royal potatoes.

I have an avocado which needs eating, so I need to defrost some prawns or smoked salmon to go with, for lunch

Cold roast chicken, Nigella's mayo-less potato salad, salad 'cups' and coleslaw.

Lunch will be bought antipasti, smoked salmon, hard boiled eggs and coleslaw.

Bbq, sausages and venison burgers from the butcher, with salad and my son.

kittylester Nigella's mayo-less potato salad

Thank you, nice recipe.

No mayo here. I make mayo-less potato salad.

I'll try your recommendation.

Ooh kittylester I have just looked up the mayo-less potato salad recipe, I have all the ingredients might give that a go, thank you 👍

Can't be bothered to cook (not keen anytime) so smoked salmon, prawns, avacados & green salad tonight. Not even cooking any new potatoes in this heat.

Delicious meal tonight - Cook pastacif choice. Sauce of frozen peas, cooked and mashed, then add lemon zest and lemon juice and feta and a few ladles of pasta water to melt into a sauce. Toasted pine nuts on top. Light and very tasty!

Left overs from last night.

I didn't make the potato salad yesterday but am aiming to today.

Norah Tue 26-May-26 14:22:36

Mayo-less potato salad, I made too much at the weekend.

Salad potatoes, haricot verts, kalama olives, shallots, basil. Dressing, added whilst hot: Oil, vinegar, mustard, capers, thyme, salt, pepper.

Over rocket, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts.

Bread, hummus. Fruit.

Stir-fry. And I've made a jelly and evaporated milk mousse.

Cabbie21 Tue 26-May-26 19:14:58

I bought a fish cake, most unusual for me, cooked in the air fryer, so minimal heat in the kitchen, with green beans and broccoli.

Homemade coleslaw with mayonnaise lightened with greek yoghurt and sprinkled with chive flowers. Served with baked potatoes and mixed salad. Pudding, the first of this year's strawberries with posh vanilla ice cream.

Since I picked up a nice big bunch (Nectar price!) at Sainsbury’s yesterday, we’ll be having an asparagus risotto. Though rather late, since dh has gone to some talk, and won’t be back until at least 8.30.
