Sunday Diner

Here is the roast pork that I spoke of earlier. I love crackling but since I'm trying to limit my fat intake (gallstones) I didn't have any.

I have a casserole in the slow cooker with diced beef and veggies. Will have it with green veggies and diced sweet potato.

A chicken leg with cabbage, sprouts and carrots. I'm cutting down on carbs so no potatoes.

Roast dinner for us today. Husband got a good deal on a joint of pork, so for today's dinner we will be having roast pork with all the trimmings.
I'm off to put the oven on.

I have lots of veg to use up so will be making a veg lasagne with yoghurt and cheese topping.

Last sunday we have Spagghetti and Meatballs for dinner.

I always do a roast on Sunday this week I did chicken, one for me and one for my next door neighbour who is 80+ and doesn't cook properly for himself during the week I did a trifle as a dessert for him with some fresh strawberries,tomorrow I will make some soup with the left over veg so I know he has a hot meal during the day.

I roasted a duck made orange sauce served with lots of veg and roasties. I made a custard tart for afters. The leftover duck is for tonight served with more fresh veg.

Dh and i had exactly the same as yourself,and it too was really enjoyable.

Such lovely food mentioned here I do that too, cook a Sunday Diner then it goes on for a couple of days.

Also what I do if I cook chicken drummers is take the chicken off of the bone and cook the bones with veg and a chicken cube, I then drain so I just have the liquid left, put in some vermicelli and have it a chicken soup Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but this is the food if my childhood

Ive been to the christening of my youngest GD today so haven’t cooked. I’m stuffed full of delicious buffet food & cake. I might have cheese & crackers for supper later if I feel peckish.

I was invited to lunch by my DIL where we had a lovely chicken dinner followed by apple pie and custard.

Don't care tell you after looking at that lovely presentation! However, my simple fare did cheer me up too.

We had home made pea and mint soup with a sandwich for lunch, this evening we've got baked gammon + lots of different veg with a cheese sauce. I usually do a meat joint of some sorts on Sunday as it gets used up over a couple of days in various guises. The gammon will morph into a ham and leek pie with puff pastry and a pasta meal.

That looks lovely. I had chicken curry and rice for lunch (at an outdoor event) and am going to have sausage cassoulet with mashed potatoes and some vegetables soon.

WOW I don't even cook that much veg for Christmas lunch

We will be having roast chicken, cauli and carrots. Roasties for the boys but none for me as I'm low carb. With gravy of course ?

The roast looks lovely. Sadly I don’t like cooking so we have chicken and fresh tomato casserole.

That looks lovely, disappointed now in my pasta ready meal I have planned for later.

Sunday roast at 1.15 today as usual. Minus the Yorkshires as I am not very well and did not feel up to making them. The rest was easy.
Only two of us, so we get a good quality joint of beef from our local independent butcher and it will make a total of four meals for two, ie freshly cooked today, cold tomorrow, then two further Sundays of meat sliced and frozen in gravy ready to reheat, works out very good value.

McDonalds!! Yuck, I know, but having had DGS1 to the zoo that was his preference. He’s such a picky eater, but Mummy told him chicken nuggets were Santa’s favourite food! It’s been great to add this to his diet which is usually dry cereal and toast!

Traditional roast lamb with roast potatoes, new potatoes, roast parsnips, cabbage, leeks, peas, broccoli and carrots. All served with a lovely thick home-made gravy. Yum!

I dunno.
I have some carrots and swede floating about in the slow cooker.
Perhaps some veggie sausages with onions and the swede/carrots mashed.

A rare roast for us today too as we had visitors. Usually bread, cheese and fruit for lunch.

I have two pieces of chicken in the fridge.... not sure if it will eventually be a casserole, grill or roast!
Had a hot dog at the allotment at midday after a weed clearing working party so not minded to think of food again yet!
