Chilli con carne with salad followed by kefir and raspberries

We have an 8 year old grandson staying with us (had his 11 year old brother last week) and I like to cook things that they don’t usually have at home as they’re not very adventurous eaters. They like to please me so they’ll at least try what I offer and tonight I made potato wedges (skin on), courgette, very finely sliced fried onion and venison in a cream sauce. It was a great hit all round and grandson ate every bit and gave the meal a score of ‘infinity’.

Bluebellwould Thank you! I'll try that. It sounds excellent.

Tomato soup. I can eat this until the end of my life.

Filet of salmon with parsley sauce, new potatoes in skins and broccoli.

Pulled pork baguettes with a side salad. I cooked it for lunch, but unexpected visitors didn’t like pork.

Kate1949 Wed 18-Aug-21 18:18:34

Stuffed peppers (stuffed with minced beef, rice, onions and spices) and a large salad.

Homemade chicken curry with peppers, celery and mushrooms and rice. Enough for tomorrow too.

I was going to do roast beef but we are now down to two for supper so I've put it in the freezer for next weekend when my younger daughter is coming. So tonight we are having pork medallions in a blue cheese sauce with potatoes, french beans and courgettes from the garden. No pud apart from fresh fruit.

How do you cook your pork so it is properly cooked but not tough?

A rare in this house, not-chicken roast. A half leg of lamb with roast potatoes, fresh runner beans and probably peas and carrots. Plenty of proper gravy and good old mint sauce.
No pud, on account of a ? number of roast potatoes.

Jaxjacky Sun 22-Aug-21 10:38:13

BBQ here, chicken skewers, sausages, burgers, salads, new potatoes with veggie burgers and sausages for our granddaughter. Hers will be cooked first, last will be peppers and aubergine, followed by Tesco pseudo cornettos, salted caramel flavour. All nice and easy for me today, toms and aubergines home grown.

Roast chicken for us too today, with runner beans from the garden now it has stopped pouring with rain.
It'll keep us going for the next couple of days too as they are busy ones.

MiniMoon Sun 22-Aug-21 10:50:28

Cold roast chicken, chips and beans or veg (depends on what is in the fridge.)
I'm going to make a lemon pudding too.

MiniMoon Sun 22-Aug-21 10:54:15

Tizliz the airfryer is your friend when cooking pork chops. Mine are always lovely and moist when I do them in there.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 22-Aug-21 11:07:34

Something very light!!

Did a 5 course Italian for the family yesterday, so still feeling stuffed and jaded.

Might just be a poached egg on toast.

Every now and then I eat out of the freezer so as to use up old things. Yesterday I had two ancient fish-cakes and two equally old hash-browns. Today is a surprise as I haven't looked yet.

I found salmon kebabs on sale for 50p in the supermarket so had them. They were so delicious, I may well buy them at full price!!

GrannyGravy13 Sun 22-Aug-21 13:42:20
