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

Callistemon21 Mon 15-Jan-24 16:29:37

I'll put it in the oven then leave it up to DD when she finishes work 😁

Nothing much left from yesterday so I might cook a chicken which is in the fridge if I can be bothered
But with what? Not roast again.

Why not roast the chicken and have it with garlic bread and some sort of salad?

I do like bubble and squeak, kittylester

Bubble and squeak with pickles and yesterday's roast pork - sophisticated or what?

Monday is usually our Pasta Day as we normally have meetings or work from home and there is little time to prepare.

Today we had eaten Pasta (Tortellini filled with Cheese - Brand Rana from Italy) With Pesto Genovese, Grated Pecorino, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, salt and freshly ground blk. pepper, Extra virgin olive oil and you can use a mortar and pestle (wood the best) or a blender or a food processor.

Roast duck with vegetables and apple sauce followed by plum and apple crumble.

HowVeryDareYou2 Sun 14-Jan-24 20:08:11

Beef casserole (in the slow cooker all day) and crusty bread

Witzend Sun 14-Jan-24 19:35:47

A tuna pasta thing with frozen peas (lazy dinner) but followed by a non-lazy apple and mincemeat pie (using up the last of the Delia Christmas mincemeat).

Last night: Salmon, sweetcorn and pea risotto.

Tonight: I made a quiche. The filling was mushroom, cheese and onion with cherry tomatoes on top. We had it with jacket sweet potato and sweetcorn.

When I went to get my husband a newspaper I noticed they had ripe peaches reduced with a yellow sticker. I wouldn't normally buy these out of season but they were truly ripe so I gave in and we had them with cream. 😋

A winter's day calls for winter food. Slow cooked beef casserole, mashed potatoes, carrots and cabbage.
