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

Goan pork curry, coconut chutney, tomato rice, veg subji. This month’s spice box from the Spicery - was bought a subscription for Christmas

My home made tomato soup followed by cheese and onion quiche purchased from any supermarket I have shopped at recently. No pudding but a black coffee and a slice of fruit cake while watching either emmer / corrie.

Beef Massaman Curry. Definitely a glass, or maybe two of wine. I haven't had any of the latter for over a week.

Poppadums followed by Red Thai prawn curry with Jasmine rice then apple crumble and vanilla ice cream to follow and I’m having some Cava - hopefully celebrating a ??????? win ?, otherwise the drowning of sorrows?

It's wall to wall rugby today, so I will do something quick and easy - probably mushroom omelette.

Split meals tonight, DH is having chicken, chorizo and red pepper pizza, ?, I detest peppers. I’m having liver with veg, he dislikes liver...happy house.

Chicken and mushroom fricassee. Half for tonight and half to put in the freezer.

I am being taken to M&S Simply Food this afternoon, I am so excited ?
I shall have whatever jumps off the shelf at me as long as I can just stick it in the oven.

Well I was going to have Moroccan vegetables and rice, but found that I haven’t got all the ingredients, So am having River Cottage winter minestrone instead.

Chinese takeaway, it’s his turn to cook on Saturdays, but it’s rugby again, so that’s his solution, he doesn’t have to get off the sofa until it arrives.

I'm defrosting sardines for lunch and a cooked lamb shank for dinner.

Awaiting an Ocado delivery - highlight of my day! I'll spend the afternoon batch-cooking and faffing around in the kitchen smile

Witzend Sat 20-Mar-21 09:03:52

Previously batch-cooked chilli out of the freezer, with tortilla wraps and salad. There doesn’t seem to be quite enough chilli, though - I might have to add a tin of kidney beans etc.

Corned beef with fried potatoes and beetroot pickle. Just consumed. Delicious. One very happy bunny here!

Urmstongran Fri 19-Mar-21 17:23:51

How come I’m so hungry, sat here on this (doing nothing).
I’ve eaten already!

Have been on Granny duties, absolutely shattered so it’s a takeaway from our favourite Indian Restaurant. Tandoori King Prawn Dansak for me not sure about DH’s main?

Calendargirl Fri 19-Mar-21 15:57:59

Chicken fillets in slow cooker, with onions, garlic, carrots, leeks mushrooms. To be accompanied by boiled potatoes and green beans.
Greek yogurt with honey for DH, with lemon curd for me, to follow.

Polarbear2 Fri 19-Mar-21 15:51:51

Friday so fish and chips ?. With mushy peas of course. Lightly battered cod. Fabulous from our favourite chippy.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 19-Mar-21 15:44:48

Changed my mind. Just shared a brownie with DH so will drop the plums and perhaps just Hake and sweet potato chips as can’t be bothered to cook now.

Urmstongran Fri 19-Mar-21 14:53:28

Sorry, I know it’s an old joke but it still makes me laugh!

libra10 Fri 19-Mar-21 14:50:27

We also had chicken last night. It was a James Martin recipe, flatten the chicken, coat in breadcrumbs and parmesan. Lightly fry in butter, served with veg.

Simple, but tasty.

dragonfly46 Fri 19-Mar-21 14:49:27

I am on a healthy eating kick so having frittata made with the left over roast vegetables from yesterday - courgettes, broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes and red onions.

Jaxjacky Fri 19-Mar-21 14:46:27

We’re off to the chippies tonight too, on the way back from Mr J’s jab, we share a large cod, cooked to order and I’ll have mushy peas.

Urmstongran Fri 19-Mar-21 14:44:50

Ooh what lovely meals on here to salivate over! We’re just having ‘bits and bobs’ later - Melton Mowbray pork pie, cheese coleslaw, tomatoes, cucumber, hard boiled egg, crisps ...
I’m pretending I’m at a buffet.
❤️

Slow cooker Beef in Guinness casserole with green bean, peas and kale with garlic mashed butter beans to mop up the gravy.
