I hope I am committing a sin by starting a new thread but the other one is full and I enjoy it and the photos smile

I popped to the cheap farm shop on the way home from work to buy dog food and vegetables so I have made a sausage casserole with jacket potatoes. I normally put the potatoes in the casserole (I know wink ) but there was no room as I bought a rather nice leek grin it smells delicious smile

I think I know where they're made!

Hot and spicy chicken and veg stir-fry, then some Quality Street

Fish Tagine with almonds. Plums stewed and custard

Today (Monday) we are having a full English breakfast for our dinner.
Bacon, eggs, black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms and toast.
I might make sautè potatoes as we don't like hash browns.

Chicken, sweet potato and green bean curry.

Patsy70 Mon 27-Nov-23 20:51:17

Mushroom, onion & cheese omelettes with salad.

HowVeryDareYou2 Mon 27-Nov-23 22:54:58

Roasted chicken breast, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas and broccoli

Leftovers from yesterday...beef pie, new potatoes, broccoli.

Bobotie with salad, banana with ice cream and maple syrup.

I love bobotie its comfort food at its best I add grated cheese to the topping.
Yesterday I made enough Polish stuffed cabbage leaves for two days that’s another favourite comfort food.

29 / 11. Quite a dismal grey overcast day which is unusal for the Madrid Capital. So I had chosen to work from home today.

Lunch: A Fritatta .. ( Italian omelette ) ..

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 29-Nov-23 12:42:07

Home made chicken curry.

kittylester Wed 29-Nov-23 14:17:31

Pasta penne and garlic bread!

Another family name for a recipe! This one is from an antiquated Sainsbury's card - just tomato sauce' oil and loads of cheese - mozzarella and parmesan.

kittylester Wed 29-Nov-23 14:41:55

With Penne pasta obvs!

Was going to have a vegetarian today but am having a lazy day so Charlie Bingham is providing tonight’s supper.

That fritatta looks as though it has a crust - how do you achieve that? I'd like to try it.

And ours, a fish pie by Chsrlie which I took out of the freezer yesterday but it wasn't thawed so we had something else instead.
With broccoli (yes, DH, broccoli is good for you) 😃

We've had a very busy day so thank goodness it's an easy dinner.

kittylester Wed 29-Nov-23 19:45:05

Can you freeze Charlie Bighams? We only have the curry (it's gf - not much is) and that says it's not suitable for freezing.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 29-Nov-23 19:53:55

I bet you can freeze the cottage pie as well. Don’t think that is GF though.

I do like his meals though.

glammagran Wed 29-Nov-23 20:00:17

Some Charlie Bigham meals can be frozen eg fish pie, lasagne and moussaka but not all I don’t think.

Slow cooked M&S Fajita chicken with homemade Mexican rice and black beans. First time for both and very impressed.

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Nov-23 20:13:52

Yes, you can freeze the fish pie and cottage pie, but not the curries, I think.

Aldom Wed 29-Nov-23 20:29:47

Braised beef casserole with new potatoes and cauliflower. Home made mince pies to follow.
I have also frozen four portions of the casserole.

CanadianGran Wed 29-Nov-23 20:35:29

I'm making pizzas for the GC and myself, then we will decorate Christmas sugar cookies. I made the cookies and icing previously, so can just set everything.

I buy frozen pizza dough. DH took it out earlier, so it will defrost and rise in time for dinner.
