What are you all having to eat tonight? I cook every evening and have been getting bored with the usual meals. Tonight, I've made a Chicken Jambalaya - it's a Hello Fresh recipe I had ages ago, but I bought all the ingredients and have adapted it a bit.

I've made a carrot cake for afters.... with cream grin

Piri piri chicken and rice ?

Puzzler61 that’s one of my favourite meals! Unfortunately there isn’t usually any chilli left once Mr. B gets stuck into it!

Auntieflo Thu 18-Mar-21 17:36:46

Quiche and cous cous that I made earlier.
Dh wants chips, so I will teach him how to use the air fryer.

Macaroni cheese and a mountain of mixed veg.

I have cooked a piece of honey roast gammon from Sainsbury's which looks delish.
I have made a large mixed salad and will stick a few oven chips in as I have no new potatoes which I would normally have.

Char Sui chicken with salad for me and fried rice for DH and he’s cooking..... a pear for pud as it’s just ripe enough today!

Sausage and mash with baked beans.

Trisha57 Thu 18-Mar-21 18:10:33

Spag Bol for us tonight. I'm suffering from cooking-fatigue today although I usually love cooking. It's the "thinking what to have" that exhausts me!

JaneJudge Thu 18-Mar-21 18:14:06

I have cooking fatigue constantly sad
I haven't been that well but managed to make a chilli earlier which is in the slow cooker. I have some of those microwave packets of rice. I am past caring today tbh grin

Salads Nicoise...

A salmon and broccoli pasta thing I copied (and added to) from an M&S ready meal my mother used to like - white sauce with a little cheese and white wine added, a flaked tin of salmon and lightly steamed broccoli added with the pasta, usually penne.

Fish finger butties served with a salad.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 19-Mar-21 10:38:06

Smoky Hake with greens and beans.
Stewed plums and custard.

Fillet steaks with stilton sauce, maman potatoes, roasted tomatoes and something else that I havent decided on yet- maybe tenderstem.

Charleygirl5 Fri 19-Mar-21 11:21:59

Haddock and chips from the local chippie. I cannot be bothered cooking.

suziewoozie Fri 19-Mar-21 12:17:06

A steamed fillet of cod with a grilled tomato. Fasting day☹️.

Ro60 Fri 19-Mar-21 12:53:10

Razor clams from the supermarket! Never had them before but happy to try something new.

Beswitched Fri 19-Mar-21 13:19:41

Had roast chicken yesterday so tonight will be egg fried rice with chicken followed by pear sponge (pears picked from the garden last autumn and stored in the freezer)

Auntieflo Fri 19-Mar-21 13:20:02

Chicken curry, that's in the slow cooker. Just because the kitchen ceiling is being painted this afternoon.
We like all the sides, but just can't manage them these days.

Charleygirl5 Fri 19-Mar-21 13:27:33

When I go to the chippie I choose haddock because they have none pre-cooked, it is freshly cooked for me whereas the cod was cooked earlier and heaven knows how long it has been warming up. A pity the chips are not always freshly cooked.

Puzzler61 Fri 19-Mar-21 14:16:48

Maybe your local chip shop will come up trumps today charley and you will get freshly fried haddock and fresh chips ?
We’ll have stir fried chicken with noodles and ginger + soy sauce.
