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, it was chicken and pasta in a tomato and chilli sauce with a fresh pear and small Twix for afters.

Celery cashew stir fry, rice, bread, green salad, fruit.

Chicken thigh tray bake with red onions, garlic cloves, peppers, baby tomatoes and potatoes.

Spicy carrot and lentil soup with crusty bread followed by banana custard

I had made rather too much mashed potato even for the monster shepherds pie I took to DD’s yesterday, so I bought some lovely fresh spring greens specially and we’ve had bacon, eggs, and a lot of bubble and squeak. 😋

I forgot - and capers.

Linguine with a sauce made with lemon juice and zest, cream cheese, pasta water, chilli salmon flakes on top and possibly pine nuts (if I have any left) and parsley.

Oven fish and chips, pollock tonight, with mushy peas.

Norah Mon 01-Jun-26 18:39:04

Cauliflower Lentil Salad, chopped salad, fruit

I cook the lentils, not tinned. No chorizo for us.

Delicious.

As predicted yesterday
Cold gammon, fried potatoes and pickle-y stuff.

I have some smoked haddock to use up. This evening I might make kedgeree or just a simple poached fish with spinach and a poached egg. We shall see.

Just had some buttered toast and a mug of tea. We got in late from visiting relatives and I was a bit peckish but didn't want a big meal before going to bed.

Pizza. 🍕

Gammon shanks with honey and mustard, cauliflower, broccoli , carrots a a few small potatoes.

We don't eat feta, added 50g quinoa.

I also made brown vinegar dressing (IOW dressing choices).

Swedish meat balls tonight and spaghetti. I cooked the spaghetti yesterday and then froze it. Supposed to alter the carbs, I believe. Better for you if you are diabetic.

Gammon (currently simmering in coke), buttered Jersey Royals and a salad of some sort. And more or less the same tomorrow.

Some bbq belly pork slices and some ready chips from Waitrose. It's been a tiring day. We devoted a Turkish takeaway but that would have involved a walk up the road - and a step too far.

Witzend Sat 30-May-26 19:10:19

A stir fry, with some bits of leftover chicken from the freezer, lots of assorted veg and egg noodles. A packet sauce, with ginger and red chilli pastes, plus lemon juice, added.

JamesandJon33 Sat 30-May-26 09:00:18

Vietnamese sea bass this evening. Just sea bass cooked with shiitake and oyster mushrooms. With a sprinkling of herbs, fishsauce and dark soy. We will probably have broccoli with it. Another low carb dinner.

Jaxjacky Thu 28-May-26 20:06:23

Another bbq’d, chicken skewers, halloumi, hog sausages and salad with baby potatoes.

Norah Thu 28-May-26 20:01:35

Cauliflower steaks, pom walnut dressed, salad, bread, fruit.

kittylester Thu 28-May-26 19:24:04

It's been a funny day so a bacon and egg sandwich - but don't tell anyone!

Witzend Thu 28-May-26 19:20:31

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.

Square sausage, egg and chips (not frozen, cut from actual potatoes and cooked in the AF).

A smoothie.
