What's for dinner today?

Beef bourguignon for me with cheesy garlic mash I made enough for two meals. My husband has made his chicken soup that will keep him happy a few days too.

Meatballs and pasta with a lovely roast red pepper sauce.

Hake with new potatoes, beans from the garden and perhaps broccoli.

WonTon soup (made with quinoa not meat), salad, bread, fruit. Chocolates.

We’re having the Mary Berry sausage supper tonight. Fairly easy to put together and one tray does the job, so little washing up.

Sweet potato, peanut and spinach curry

Homemade bolognese sauce on fresh tagliatelle with pecorino grated on top.

Homemade chicken passanda with lentil dal, rice, chutneys and poppadoms.

I made the garam masala from scratch earlier so the whole house smells fragrant.

Friends are joining us.

I'm assembling a quesadilla using odds and sods from fridge & freezer. The tortilla is frozen as is the cheese, another tortilla will go on the top.

Chicken with stuffing, mashed potato and green beans.

Off to visit my DM in hospital this evening so a quick meal tonight for me. M&S lasagne with a green salad followed by fresh raspberries & Greek yoghurt.

Staying with DD in Lancashire went the traditional butcher's shop for their sausages. I served them with fresh steamed vegetables and rich gravy.

Chilli from the freezer, brown rice and sour cream.

Slow cooker gammon, roast potatoes, baby carrots and tenderstem with onion sauce.
There were strawberries and grapes for after but I didn't have any. I did however have two glasses of a lovely Shiraz

Our meal was a disaster, we walked up to the local refurbished steak house, decor was good, staff were sort of attentive, food was just as awful as before.

We shall not be returning.

What a disappointment, I hate that, getting ready, getting there and a disappointing experience.

Beef and vegetable stew from the freezer with mashed potato. It was very tasty.

We had home made butternut squash soup with some lovely toasted seedy bread and lashings of butter.

I had lentils, red peppers, tomatoes shallots and spinach. Served with a pitta bread and half an advoccado.
