What is for dinner today MK II

Spaghetti Bolognese, garlic bread

We ate chicken, leftover from yesterday's roast with salad, coleslaw and beetroot.
I'm still being careful with my fat intake since my recent gallbladder flare up.

Fishcake, chips, mixed veg

Plaice, roasted new potatoes, tomatoes & spinach. (The recipe came from BBC Good Food). As it’s not asparagus season, I used spinach instead, which I cooked separately. I’m not a lover of asparagus, so probably wouldn’t have used it anyway. All the other ingredients went in the one pan, in the oven, starting with the potatoes first for 30 min to get them cooked through, then added the fish and tomatoes for 15 or so minutes (until the fish was cooked). A tasty recipe which I would use again.

Potato, lentil, banana curry. Turmeric lemon rice. Tomato, Cherry Chutney. Cabbage Salad. Browned Naan. Fruit.

A stir fry, with prawns (Asda’s mini Smartprice ones, defrost in no time) plus plenty of assorted veg and noodles.

Cottage pie with broccoli and carrots, MrJ is chef.

Previously frozen, home made butter chicken, basmati rice and pickles.

Chicken casserole, crusty bread

Home made melt in middle salmon fishcakes; unbelievably easy to make and very tasty. With salad

Out for a curry.

Thursday - the 22nd of February 2024 ...

Since we had a traditional lunch of polenta with mushrooms, we are having a light quick simple dinner.

A mini Spanish Omelette for my dear and I am just going to have goat cheese Ricotta with fresh apple slices and Clementine slices.

Nice evening wishes.

A lamb stew, made from the remains of a roast (as much fat as possible cut off) with potatoes, pearl barley, turnip, carrots and peas.
A cold weather favourite here.

Greek salad, home made sweet potato wedges (in Air fryer), humous. Apple and blackberry crumble from the freezer with crème fraiche.

Trying to eat everything out of the freezer before we move! Pizza last night and I think scampi, chips and peas tonight. We foolishly bought a huge bag of frozen peas about 2 weeks ago and now realise they need to be eaten in the next week! Peas with everything 😆

Chilli in the slow cooker, with Mexican rice and tortilla chips and guacamole and salsa dips.

Friday - 23 / 02 / 2024 ..

Shaved Parmesan Cheese 36 month old

Always a glorious dish .. Beverage: Rose Prosecco ..

Nice weekend wishes.

Mary Berry's Sausage Supper - we are so sophisticated.

MrJ is taking the grandchildren out, I’m having leftover cottage pie.

A cross between Cullen Skink and chowder, with smoked haddock and white fish, onion, streaky bacon, potatoes, sweetcorn and parsley.
Followed by the 2nd half of yesterday’s Eve’s Pudding, with custard.

Sainsbury's veggie lasagne. Delish!

Oven fish and chips with mushy peas.

This evening we are going to prepare a pizza ! Not from scratch this evening.

Just a frozen Casa Mía "Doctored" 4 cheese Pizza ..

It is a German brand, Dr. Oekutner ( I probably spelt this incorrectly).

And a glass of wine that we have left over from our last 2 lunches.

Home made wedges & spicy bean burgers. Still on the freezer clearout! And probably a glass of wine or two because this moving house business - or lack of it - is s0dding stressful!

Italian omelette and homemade oven chips today, on our knees as Forest are on the telly - some cup or another.
