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.

Cross out my bagel and smoked salmon and replace with a piece of bread and raspberry jam.

😁 whatever hits the spot!!

Tonight, we're having steaks, I don't get them often but M&S were all out of a Saturday favourite, Chicken Kyev. With those, Jersey Royals with chives from one of my garden herb pots and a dollop of butter. Plus salad a nod to healthy eating, sort of!

Olive bread with mozzarella and tomato salad for lunch.
Dinner will be burgers with onions etc and a side salad.
I may have to add a couple of Border dark chocolate ginger biscuits because they were on offer this week.

Pasta with garlic burst tomatoes, salads, brötchen, strawberries.

Chicken for those who prefer meat with meals.

A stir fry of Ainsley Harriot roasted vegetable cous cous, onion, mushrooms, red pepper and baby corn with hot-smoked salmon flaked in. Easy one pot meal.

My menu for the next couple of days is very varied as I am using up either left overs or things coming to the end of the Use By dates.
Today I have just had a left over ham sandwich from yesterday with a mug of tea. Lunch is a half portion of left over roasted vegetable lasagna from last night with a few left over baked beans. Tonight is crustless quiche, the veg lasagna, salad and new potatoes. The quiche is just over the use by date so needs to be cooked and eaten.
The roasted veg lasagna was a Waitrose microwave ready meal and was excellent. Although it looks like a single portion it does me twice with extra veg or salad...or baked beans.

HelterSkelter1 Tue 12-May-26 06:59:19

I seem to have added veg lasagna to my crustless quiche lunch. Don't know how I did that!

Whitewavemark2 Tue 12-May-26 09:05:23

Scrambled eggs on toast
Beetroot, salad and feta
Lentil stew

I am browsing this thread for inspiration.

My cooking mojo has definitely left the building, which is rather odd, as I love food and cooking 🤷‍♀️

kircubbin2000 Tue 12-May-26 10:21:06

If I felt like supper I might have a weetabix or slice of toast but it's better not to eat late in the evening.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 12-May-26 10:22:03

Mine often leaves me. After nearly 60 years of cooking it should be no surprise really that it gets a tad boring.

I plan my meals for the week as I get a shopping delivery once a week. I do try to mix in some really easy recipes or ready meals and do these when I either can’t be bothered, been out for the day or whatever.

Jaxjacky Tue 12-May-26 10:29:05

Lambs liver, onions, broccoli and carrots.

Norah Tue 12-May-26 12:59:24

Jacket potatoes, mushrooms, cashew cannellini blender sauce on top with scallions. Roasted broccoli, fruit, and bread. Strawberries.

Grandmabatty Tue 12-May-26 17:34:21
