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.

Absolutely zonked, but hopefully recovering from a bad dose of bronchitis, so easy pingy meals for the time being.

Tonight will be homemade cottage pie with green beans and carrots.
Fresh cherries to be nibbled for desert and coffee.
Why not?😄

Leftovers; cold chicken, tuna rice with mayo and tomato salad.
It will leave a space in the ‘fridge (and I love cold meals in warm weather).

Gf sheet pan kebabs - i'll let you know

Tonight I had an omelette, a slice of left over smoked salmon and 2 fried tomatoes. Then 2 very juicy nectarines.

I made myself a mushroom omelette with a mixed, dressed salad and Gigli pasta. It was delicious.
A meringue shell, crème fraiche and strawberries to follow.

Salmon fillets & a veggie stir-fry here tonight. Easy to cook around getting all the laundry sorted (got back from holiday yesterday evening).

Chilli con carne & rice, with crusty bread and salad.

I made a delicious Pasta a la Norma tonight, a favourite. So easy if you cook the aubergine in the air fryer.

A (cheeky) small Waitrose Bramley Apple Tart and a cup of tea. 😋

Homemade pizzas as I thought I’d give the dough a bash and they turned out lovely.

Toppings was
Mozzarella
Red Leicester
Onion
Chorizo
Mushrooms

I make my own bread and focaccia’s so thought why not with pizzas.

I’ve found some lovely no knead recipes as I’ve arthritis in both hands. Win win

Something Korean for which DD2 sent the recipe. It was delicious even though the red pepper it asked for wasn't in the fridge. It used sticky rice and was topped with a fried egg.

Lamb moussaka with Greek salad (black + green olives , lemon juice, virgin olive oil and and feta cheese).
A lovely meal on a hot day and reminiscent of many holidays in Greece.

Oh dear kitty - never again? That bad?

kittylester Sat 20-Jun-26 17:09:00

Definitely never again.
I love this thread - so much variety.

We are having cold everything - bought in M&S yesterday. Sadly, there was a huge fire in the shopping centre yesterday and it is closed - hopefully not for ever.

A vaguely chicken curry - onions, some leftover bits of roast chicken from the freezer, a little leftover proper tomato sauce from yesterday’s pasta, a small potato and a parsnip chopped up, a chicken stock cube, the last of a cauliflower (still good), possibly a small apple, chopped, curry powder, obv. - and probably a dollop of mango chutney.

Greyduster Sat 20-Jun-26 17:54:01

I too had curry this evening - a leftover portion of a vegetable curry I had cooked for DD, and then frozen. Microwave rice, naan bread and a mango chutney that is so delicious I could - and frequently do - eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon!! I love lime pickle but it doesn’t love me!

We had a lunchtime BBQ then my husband took son and DIL to the airport to fly home.

He’s home now and asking what’s for supper……..oh the disappointment when I told him it was omelette.

Aldom Sun 21-Jun-26 08:49:20

Saturday evening I had cold chicken breast with a mixed salad and a homemade potato salad.
The potatoes were from Shrewsbury market. Cheshire new potatoes. They were absolutely delicious. The best potatoes I have tasted in many years.

Norah Mon 22-Jun-26 16:21:13

Quinoa broccoli sweet potato bowls, satay dressing, green salad.

Jaxjacky Mon 22-Jun-26 16:34:44

Quiche, tomatoes, beetroot, mixed diced vegetables in a French dressing, hummus and potatoes lifted from the garden earlier.

Sago Mon 22-Jun-26 18:43:18

The steak we didn’t have last night, this means having wine on a school night because I cannot enjoy steak without a glass of red 🍷🍷🍷

Jaxjacky Thu 25-Jun-26 19:48:03

Cheese and mushroom omelette, tomatoes and beetroot on the side, just right in this heat, thanks MrJ x

Norah Thu 25-Jun-26 21:14:21

Gazpacho, bread, salad, summer pudding.
