What is for dinner today MK II

We are paying homage to my husband’s Scottish ancestry (I have a little too) with steak pie, tatties and neeps.

Spaghetti Carbonara, using ham and eggs left over from Christmas.

This evening; turkey soup, made form carcase of Christmas turkey and spare veg accompanied by snack food left over from last night.

The 1st of January 2024: Firstly, I would like to wish all the Grasnet Members a very healthy, successful & amazingly wonderful New Year 2024.

Today, my twin daughters and their husbands, their 3 children and my husband and me, kept it very simple. Some appetisers & 3 types of Fondue.

1st: A cheese Fondue (Gruyère with Cherry Kirch Brandy. )
2nd: Filet Mignon ..
3rd: Dark Chocolate - with fresh season fruits placed on skewers and a simple sponge ..

Indian takeaway later - Chicken Jaisalmar and vegetable rice

Paella last night and the remainder tonight.

Chicken and vegetable curry.

I’ve got a venison casserole bubbling in the slow cooker. We’ll have it with dumplings and some sprouts (got to use them up some how 😁).
Rhubarb and plum crumble to follow.
DH cottage pie last night was very good. There’s enough for another day, so it’s gone in the freezer.

Tonight roast chicken, roast parsnips, mashed potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts and gravy.

Two rashers of bacon and one fried egg. That's all I felt like eating

Friday fish night! spicy salmon, new potatoes roasted with sea salt and rosemary, green beans and broccoli

DH has been in charge of tonight’s dinner - I said I was having a day off. Anyway, he’s made a cottage pie which we will reheat later. There were some delicious smells coming from the kitchen.

Macaroni cheese, courtesy of Morrisons. Easier than making a portion for myself.

Cold meats, jacket potatoes and salad.

Last night fillets of sole, potatoes dauphinoise, carrots and peas.

Tonight I'm making salmon risotto with a good handful of frozen peas and sweetcorn thrown in.

Tinned salmon New Potatoes and Peas

Simple for me, fresh tomatoes , cooked, toast and scrambled eggs.

Omelette with herbs and chips tonight. Really couldn’t be bothered to do anything else.

PS There were small amounts of leftover carrots and neeps in it too. Oh, and a bit of beluga lentil dal – freezer scrapings so to speak.

Braised steak and onions into which I threw some spices – from memory: cumin, ginger, turmeric, ground coriander, paprika – and a stock cube.

We ate it with frozen (well, warm, actually) peas.

It was really good.

Tray bake thing - chicken, chunks of red, green and yellow pepper, onion, tomatoes, and aubergine. All mixed with Paprika, Oregano, Basil and olive oil.

Omelette with bacon, mushrooms and cheese accompanied by side salad and chips. Nothing complex here .

Well, we're having common or garden sausage and mash, along with previously prepared and frozen red cabbage.

It was going to be something more complicated but none of us feel like spending a long time in the kitchen!

Turkey fricassee today with rice.

Roast pork with roast potatoes, cauliflower/broccoli cheese, sprouts, stuffing (leftover from Christmas), proper gravy, and then we’ll start on the 2nd Christmas pud, with the 2nd lot of brandy butter, which I’ve still got to make. 😋
