What's for dinner today?

Good old fashioned beef stew and dumplings as it's freezing here.

Thank you WWM2. Never used stem ginger in sauce - will give it a try.

It is good chopped up (say 1 ball) with melon and drizzled with a bit if the syrup.

If I ever find the recipe I’ll post it again or PM it to you.

I reckon it may be a good housekeeping recipe from one of their magazines which I pass on to DD.

In keeping with meat free Mondays, macaroni cheese with leeks, or mac and cheese as the younger generation might say, I wondered what the hell that was when I first heard it described in such a way, thought at first McDonalds had been putting their slant on a good old fashioned dish

We had bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon. We both had salad and potato salad with it. DH had a few chips, I didn't. 😇

Ooh, I fancy Macaroni cheese now!

My so gave me some instruction on marinades and today I launched out on my own and invented a very peppery one in which cooked baby sweetcorns are resting.

Mexican chicken tray bake, with lime yogurt. A Gousto recipe. (I used to have Gousto ages ago and kept the recipe cards)

Pasta caprese (sp?) - dead easy and lovely

The fish dish we should have had yesterday.

We had bobotie plus some zingy beetroot, including leave – cooked to a zingy red cabbage recipe – I found lurking in the freezer.

Oven baked mushroom risotto served with plain yoghurt. Meat free Tuesday.

A rather meagre two fried eggs and two crispbreads.

Lamb leg steaks, dauphinoise potatoes, peas and carrots. Any left over dauphinoise freezes beautifully.

Venison chilli with red kidney beans.

Smoked haddock fish cake, new potatoes and salad. Quick and easy but curiously the nicest thing I’ve eaten all week. Tomorrow beef in Guinness in the slow cooker. By the time I’ve lived with it all day, I’ll be meh.

Letting the side down here - gammon, egg and proper chips with baked beans for dh. I might have 2 eggs!

Cottage pie. I made a large one yesterday so I’m afraid it is day2 today. Always seems nicer on the 2nd day.

A toasted wholemeal muffin topped with avocado, a poached egg and crispy bacon for me tonight.

Veggie chilli and rice

Sausages and mash 😋, real comfort food. It’s horrible out, cold, snow 5 inches deep and starting to sleet 🙄

Veggie chilli and baked sweet potato, afters was a fruit salad.

We had Dover sole fillets in a lemon and pepper crumb, with tempura prawns. All home prepared. Served with creamed potatoes carrots and peas

Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, stuffing and 5 vegetables.
