Tonight we had Chicken Kiev with Lyonnaise potatoes. I have to admit the CK was not made by me but a local butcher whose ready meals are really, really good but I did make the Lyonnaise potatoes myself and I know I shouldn`t blow my own trumpet but it was a good meal

Steamed pork fillet and smoky bacon with just a little garlic + a nice oven-baked jacket potato. It was very good!

I have aubergines, courgettes, mozzarella and passata.
Wondering about combining the Italian fashion.
Or has anybody got any other ideas?

Jacket potatoes, quiche and salad not very inspiring but I'm feeling lazy.

Mamie Sun 29-Jun-14 13:11:10

Galen, I would make a pasta bake with that lot. I sometimes brown the aubergines and courgettes first in a bit of olive oil in the oven. Sounds yum.
We are having roast chicken with new potatoes and courgettes from the garden, followed by raspberries, also from the garden.

Tonight Mr & Mrs Flowerofthewest are joining us to share... Hot smoked salmon pate with oatcakes and rocket salad, followed by Venison casserole and leeky mash. Pudding is, chocolate torte (Delia version) with Chantilly cream

Galen Sun 29-Jun-14 13:33:52

Mamie as there's only me and I don't eat a lot. Think I'll do it as a bake but without the pasta, there'll still be enough for 2-3 days.

Mamie Sun 29-Jun-14 13:42:52

That sounds good Galen. Sort of light meat-free moussaka!

Galen Sun 29-Jun-14 13:47:57

I've gone off meat at the moment.
The only trouble is I'm not very keen on veg and hate salad.

Mamie Sun 29-Jun-14 13:51:15

Goodness, that sounds tricky! All veg or just some?

Pittcity Sun 29-Jun-14 14:34:32

Roast beef, new potatoes from the garden, yorkshires, veg and gravy. Followed by apple pie and custard. It's been weeks since we've had a Sunday Roast. Sadly no wine as DH has to go to work tonight, so I might have a cheeky G&T once he's gone smile

Galen Sun 29-Jun-14 14:40:38

Right, I've put passata at the bottom of a dish, aubergine on top, then cheese sauce, then courgettes, then sliced tomatoes finished with a layer oh mozzarella. Covered it in foil all ready to pop in oven. Think it'll be ok.

Galen Sun 29-Jun-14 14:41:11

Mamie most especially green.

Pittcity Sun 29-Jun-14 14:43:39

Sounds yummy Galen . I'd have some garlic bread with that!!

Grannyknot Sun 29-Jun-14 16:41:43

Slow roasted leg of lamb (NZ lamb half price at the supermarket) - it's been marinating all afternoon in lemon juice and rosemary; roast butternut and sweet potato mix, roast potatoes, peas. Yum yum.

We really shouldn't have afters ... but there is some Mrs Mackie ice cream in the fridge.

There will be some left over lamb and it is already earmarked for a couscous and roast veg dish later in the week - when I wish I could beg some of Galen's vegetables! They'd be perfect.

Mix of sarnies left over from DS's 40th birthday party yesterday - fab day still recovering.

It will be nice though to be back in our own bed tomorrow.

vegasmags Sun 29-Jun-14 17:59:43

Invited a friend for Sunday lunch and we had roast chicken, roast potatoes, cabbage, carrots, green beans and swede, followed by Eton mess. I can't believe that only 4 hours later I am now starving and contemplating cheese and tomato toasted sandwiches.

Tonight we had Caribbean Smoked Haddock Choka - delicious if anyone wants the receipe just post

NanKate Sun 29-Jun-14 22:20:36

What is Choka? Sounds interesting.

kittylester Mon 30-Jun-14 07:22:50

Wouldn't it be a good idea if the actual recipes mentioned on here went on the 'Recipes' section. They would then be available for everyone and at anytime. smile

I'll post my chicken thighs one just as soon as I've worked out what to call it!

kittylester Mon 30-Jun-14 07:24:11

As Andy is playing today we are having Gannon, oven chips and fried eggs!

kittylester Mon 30-Jun-14 08:31:29

Gammon - blasted phone!

sparkygran Mon 30-Jun-14 11:54:42

No idea what Choka is but it sure does taste good!!!

the receipe is as follows

2 onions
5 or 6 largish tomatoes
1 or 2 red chilli
2 red peppers
2 garlic cloves
Black pepper
Ground Nut Oil

chop/dice put into large pan and gently saute for about 20 minutes then tear the smoked haddock into strips and lay on top it cooks in a few minutes I serve with rice.

Enjoy

NanKate Mon 30-Jun-14 15:29:47

I didn't know there was a Recipes Forum thanks for pointing it out Kitty.

Mamie Mon 30-Jun-14 15:33:06

Cold chicken and a salad of red rice, roasted vegetables, toasted almonds and goji berries in a honey and orange dressing. The salad and the rest of the chicken will do for lunch tomorrow as well.

DBH is out tonight, I was wondering what I fancied as I was sorting out clothing for the Fire Brigade charity collection tomorrow. Then as I picked something off the floor at the back, I found an uneaten Easter egg... blush

I daren't eat anything else now!
