Pork & Apple serves 4

800g pork (I used to buy diced but last week tried loin steaks cut in half and everyone agreed tasted nicer!)
2 chopped onions
2 large baking apples peeled and thick cut
2 teaspoons dried sage
3 tablespoons of water

Put all that into a flat Pyrex dish, cover with foil and oven cook 170° for 90 minutes.

In the meantime make a pan of mashed potatoes & I add good amount of grated strong cheese.

Remove foil, spread over the pork/sage and onion with the mash and put in oven for about 20 mins. I often put the mash on earlier in the day and then put it in the oven when we want to eat. It’s nice with dark green cabbage.

Gosh I am somewhat taken aback by how few vegetarians on this thread!

Oh my! Can I come and eat at all of your houses, please?

Lasagne
Roast Dinner
Boeuf Bourguignon

They all sound lovely and thank you for so many new ideas, I will be trying some out.

Supper is something posh people eat at about half past 8, accompanied by fancy drinks.

My husband always cooks cabbage with fennel seeds delicious

Supper has always meant hot choc and a biscuit before going to bed

Roast chicken

Stir fry beef and peppers

Delia Smiths frugal pie - carrots, leeks, onions, potatoes layered with white sauce and topped with cheese.

Roast chicken, roast or jacket potatoes, lots of veg

Chickpea, sweet potato and spinach curry

Smoked sausage, sautéed potatoes, sweetheart cabbage

Ooh I would love the recipe for the pork sage and onion dish!

Kedgeree
Vegetable chilli and rice
Jacket potato with all sorts of toppings

Most recent set of dinner basics:
1. Some type of chilli beans with short brown rice
2. Some type of spanakopita with (usually) salad
3. Some variation of roasted veg with baked potatoes (or just stir in orzo at the end) and cheese/cottage cheese
4. Soup. Any kind. And often.

Bathsheba, I suppose low fat fromage frais would do. However because the recipe is directed to those who eat low-carb, full fat cream is used for both protein and energy.

Thanks BB for cabbage idea. We eat cabbage a lot (adds a healthy green tinge to the complexion ).I tend to just braise it with butter and throw in things like walnuts.

Though I’ll probably do it with low fat fromage frais cos my DH won’t eat full fat cream - always keeping an eye on his BP

I’m loving all these ideas - think I’m going to give the cabbage carbonara a go, it sounds lovely!

Stir fried vegetables with chicken or beef or salmon (& rice or noodles)
Chilli
Curry (usually chicken)

Cabbage Carbonara

1 pointy cabbage finely shredded
4-6 washers of Smokey bacon
Mushrooms to taste
Cream
1 egg

Boil the shredded cabbage until nearly soft. Drain and put to one side
Cut the bacon into strips and fry, adding the mushrooms.
Remove and keep warm.
Fry the cabbage in the bacon fat. Then add the bacon and mushrooms
Pour in a good dollop of double cream. Stir. Check seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in an egg.
You can add other things, such as courgettes strips, onions etc
