Tonight we are having some leftover chicken in a tomato based stew. I’m defrosting some cooked mixed beans from the freezer (borlotti and various others) to go into it.
I can’t decide yet whether it is going with rice or mash though :lol:
-
Left over lamb, cauliflower cheese, mash and peas.
-
Steak & kidney ftf, got t be mash, carrots,broccoli & peas , mince pies for pud if he hasn’t eaten them all. I might make a jelly tbh for me.
-
Beef casserole with a dumpling and veg, i also made an mince meat and apple tart more than likely custard :D
-
Back to pasta tonight, plenty of milk so probably a cheese sauce, might as well dump some tuna, peppers and sweetcorn in there too.
-
A lamb grill steak with bubble and squeak, leftover coleslaw and the last of the salad bits...
-
The end of the turkey with salad bits mash potatos, rest of pineapple and yoghurt. Also made some turkey soup. Everything almost all gone still have 3/4 of Christmas cake over and chocolates :D
-
I only went in to the Co op for milk but came out with some yellow stickered lamb leg steaks :D Lovely, with coleslaw, salad bits and baby potatoes
-
My freezer surprise appears to be beef in gravy. Mash and chunky mixed veg to go with it. It feels a bit of waste of good food to be honest, but I can't think of what else to do tonight.
-
Christmas ham ftf in a mustard sauce with roast potatoes & parsnip, carrots,broccoli & French beans ftf, but they weren’t very nice tbh, will try them dropped in boiling water next time rather than steamed. Fruit & yogurt for me for pud, don’t know what himself had I was otherwise engaged :lol:
-
Beans on toast and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
don’t know what himself had I was otherwise engaged :lol:
He's not still in the dog house over the curry incident is he ?
Leftovers tonight, change of veg as I have found a cabbage I thought was a lettuce and put in the salad drawer.
-
I've put some mince, spices, red peppers, tomatoes and onions into the slow cooker, and added some lentils to stretch it a bit. I'll see if I fancy rice or a nuked spud later.
-

-
Paul will be finishing off the half roast chicken he cooked last night. Don't think I will eat anything as the chest infection that followed on from catching Granddaughter's cold put me in Hospital for five days. Only got released this afternoon and am very tired. Feeling better now though but got to build up my strength again.
-

That's not good. At least you're back home now. R&R for a few days but you really should try and eat something, especially if you've been on hospital "food" for a while.
I had pizza for lunch so I might just nuke a spud later.
-
Oh dear Wighty, hope you feel better soon, get Paul to make you some chicken soup with that carcass.
I’ve got pasta bake I think, not that I’ve ever made one before! Himself has leftover turkey stew.
-
Get well soon Wighty and try to eat something. Soup would be a good start, or maybe a smoothie if you like fruit.
We had leftover curry, but there was not much, so made some spicy curried potatoes to go with it. We had naan instead of rice.
-
Do hope your feeling better now wighty we were very lucky that we didn't go to hospital with it, takes a little while to get up to strength again take care. :)
Decided to do a good dinner toad in the hole with new pots and fresh veg stand up gravy, went down a treat .
No pud >:( run out of things :)
-
No pud >:( run out of things :)
Great Grandmother Lard used to keep a packet of semolina in the cupboard for such occasions, along with a sprinkle of nutmeg. The thought of not having a pudding offended her.

One of those days ::)
I was planning a quiet day and a spicy bean and chicken stew for tea over rice. Then elderly neighbour rang as her online shopping was lacking items she needed. Then elderly mother rang and her TV had gone kaput. We had to go buy a new one and set it up for her.
Stew finally got made, but too late for tea, so we ended up with takeaway. Stew now in fridge for tomorrow :lol:
-
I had the last of the chicken casserole with mash and peas :)
-
The mince didn't defrost in time and I ended up with a nuked spud and beans yesterday. I need a real meal today, the plan is for cottage pie, cabbage and carrots as the fresh ones I bought before the holiday are going rubbery.

I love a mince curry
-
Chicken & chips, I forgot the salad leaves :mad: when I went to the chickens. So coleslaw,tomatoes & cucumber & red onion.
-
Sausage casserole and mash as requested by himself. He's apparently been clearing out one of the back rooms where there has been a leak and so has been in and out of the shop and shed all day.
-
I bought a stew pack of veg from work yesterday so we had a beef stew today, but the diced beef I thought I had in the freezer was not there. I substituted with meatballs and it was fine.
I added some red lentils in to thicken the sauce, some of our last plot spuds and topped the whole lot off with dumplings. The dire weather this afternoon called for some stick to your ribs stodge to make us feel better :lol:
-
Chicken & chips, I forgot the salad leaves :mad: when I went to the chickens. So coleslaw,tomatoes & cucumber & red onion.

Yesterdays beef (skirt from snasbodys) was very nice, it's been a long time since I had beef which wasn't like chewing shoe leather shame I just wasn't in the mood for it in the end.
Leftovers for tonight just needs a few more veggies doing.

Leftover roast lamb as a rehashed roast dinner & roast potatoes I hope although hubby is angling for a stew ,

We're on leftovers as well. Found one jacket potato so half each, Paul is having the left over sausage casserole and I'm going to finish the Bol. as we have no spag left.
-
Sausage casserole with mash and peas, Melon for pud :)
-
Ftf shepherds pie but I think really it’s cottage pie but hubby labelled it, gravy, carrots & peas & some green beans from the freezer too if I don’t pick some kale on the chicken trip this afternoon. Forgot to buy any other greens this week & im away on Tuesday for a week so hubby won’t be wanting any in my absence :wacko:
-
It's oven chip night but other than some mushies I'm at a loss as to what to put with them.
-
HM pasty ftf with peas and cabbage.
-
We were discussing these the other night so Paul got us some, Bird's Eye fishcakes. We usually have the stuffed ones from the Co-op. Don't know what we're having with them.

A complete change from baked fish, jacket potato with a tin of tuna and salad bits and pieces. Fruit yoghurt for pud :)
-
It's oven chip night but other than some mushies I'm at a loss as to what to put with them.
Fried eggs?
-
Fried eggs?
Eggs were also amongst the missing 20% of the shopping delivery. I think ocado are trying to turn me into a veggie :nowink:
-
Just discovered that I had half a tin of cold baked beans last evening...
Don't remember that, but we were watching Morcambe and Wise!
-
Tuna patties with peas and salad bits.
-
Using some mince I found that had already been cooked I've made a lasagne. I expect garlic bread will feature as the man who does the shopping doesn't think salad bits are food.
-
.. the man who does the shopping doesn't think salad bits are food.
He's not wrong you know. Salad isn't food (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ooFPktg_VM&t=50s)
I'm back to stew I'd put the last of it in the freezer Friday morning I took it out again this morning :nowink:
-
Sweet and sour chicken dish with pilua rice and 1/2 a bagette :)
-
Pork faggots new pots carrots broccolli and peas, peach and raspberry crumble custard or ice cream :D
-
Oven baked garlic chicken & rice with lemon. Recipe says to serve with a green salad, but think it’s a bit cold for that, so probably the usual suspects of carrots,peas & I’ve got a cauliflower, maybe a bit of sliced tomato to pay homage to the salad :lol:
-
Roast chicken leg and peppers, I'm also giving salad a miss today - so it's cabbage and mashed swede :)
-
The rest of the sausage meat from late last year made into a plait, served with saute potatoes and pickles.
-
Sliced beef FTF and leftover mash and veg.

I have leftover sliced beef, seems a no brainer to just do more spuds and veg.

Soddages, peas and mash, plus spoon-standing, of course :lol:
-
Toad in the hole, mash, cauliflower cheese,peas & carrots & gravy, quickly made by himself as I type as he forgot it lol
-
I had another topsy turvy day yesterday when nothing went to plan, so we ended up with the pasta bake I had made for tonight.
Tonight we had the roast dinner we were going to have yesterday, before I ran out of time. It was pork chops, the last of our plot spuds as roasties, carrot and swede mash from the freezer (last of the swede), broccoli and spoon standing.
-
Cooked chicken breast added to gently butter sautéed leeks out the back garden, milk, white wine & cornflour to thicken for a sauce, with a pinch of nutmeg & black pepper.
Went well with the last of the charlotte potatoes I put away still in their containers in the garage on July 17th (30l containers, with 4 seeds in each) after cutting the tops off. Charlotte keeps amazingly long by doing this.
-
I made a pastry flan case for 'just in case' over Christmas, it's been in the freezer but is beginning to get bashed about, so have taken it out to use. Cheese, onion and some soft tomatoes will go in it with the eggs, green beans and a few baby potatoes to go with it.
-
mum yours sounds good for yesterday hubby wont eat anything like that.
tonight sausage chips egg and small bake beans, yoghurt for pud :)
-
Life got in the way yesterday and I ended up with pasta and pesto late, finished the beef up tonight instead. Have to be honest I'm still famished despite also having a jacket spud at lunchtime - must be the weather. :nowink:
I should go and make something otherwise I know I'll just keep visiting the kitchen and picking at things until bed time.
-
Defrosted some chicken leg & thigh combos (no exactly sure what you call that :wacko: ) It's a bit late in the day to put them in the slowcooker so they may well end up getting roasted for a chicken dinner.
-
I'm defrosting a portion of the curry I made with the Christmas chicken leftovers. Salad bits to go with it.
-
I have microde some little spuds and carrots. Will add to a tin of ministone soup.
-
Spaghetti with a prawn and tomato sauce.
-
Change of plans yesterday and I ended up with mac and cheese. Chicken is in the slow cooker for tonight - currently considering turning it into a casserole
-
mince and onion pie with new pots broccolli carrots and peas with standing :)
-
Stew, mash and veg.
I had lots of marrowfat peas in the freezer. They were the peas that got missed when picking and turned into big pods, so I collected and dried them through the season, cooked them up as a batch and froze them. Anyway, turned them into a stew and very good they were :)
-
Diced beef casserole cooked in the slow cooker, to go with it, I nuked a spud and mashed it with some butter.
-
Fillet of Bass chips and peas pud not sure yet :)
-
I left some chicken to make a pie to put with some oven chips but there's a butter related issue ::) so it will probably end up as spicy chicken and chips instead.
-
I'm torn between leftover beef casserole (possibly turned into a curry?) and fish in parsley sauce... dunno.
I'll make up my mind nearer the time, I suppose :lol:
-
Smoked haddock, mash and green beans, one of our favourites.
-
Rare ribeye, butter fried chestnut mushrooms & a baked potato (charlotte from a container put in the garage July 17th - missed the container & thought I'd had the last at Christmas).
-
Odds and sodds for a chinese picked up from sainsburys :D
-
I'm torn between leftover beef casserole (possibly turned into a curry?) and fish in parsley sauce... dunno.
I'll make up my mind nearer the time, I suppose :lol:
In the end, I ate more of the beef casserole yesterday, and put the remainder in the freezer. That means it's the fish for tea tonight :D
-
Didn't get around to doing anything with the chicken last night, so I'm trying again today with some spicy rice.
-
Leftover stew from Thursday, but changed it around a little with baked potatoes, roasted carrots and oven braised cabbage wedges.
-
Roast beef, roast potatoes and parsnips, yorkshires, green beans, broccoli and creamed leeks.
-
I really couldn't be bothered last night, so two slices of fried Spam, two hot dog sausages & fried bubble & squeak made with yesterday's leftover sprouts & mash.
Washed down with a bottle of Aldi's cheap Australian Shiraz. :D
-
I came home from work with freebie (reduced not sold) chicken, sweet potatoes and large vine tomatoes. It seemed to shout curry to me, so that is what we had :D
-
2 small lamb chops roast pots broccoli carrots and peas small sage and onion ball dont forget the mint sauce hubby had pork chop. Blackberry and apple pie H/M with ice cream :D
-
2 small lamb chops roast pots broccoli carrots and peas .... dont forget the mint sauce
Same here, except for the sage& onion :lol:
-
Between shoppings and starting to run out of things. Along with bread and bread moisturiser the spud situation is looking pretty bleak too. I had planned on making a cottage pie but it would have used all the spuds and probably the last of the milk, switched to a chilli instead using a packet mix I found in the cupboard- I think the company which produced it should stick to making mustard, it wasn't good. The leftovers have already been consigned to the freezer.
-
Turkey slice done in breadcrumbs bake beans and a few chips, rest of Apple and blackberry pie yoghurt :)
-
Chicken breast in spicy breadcrumbs, coleslaw and CHIPS :D
-
My own venison sausages made using the last of the sika I took last year, with home canned Shirley tomatoes & my own onions, gently fried & all stuck in a couple of home made crusty rolls with a smear of horseradish sauce.
They were reet grand. :D
-
Sag bol, pineapple and ice cream :)
-
Co-op individual steak and kidney pudding, mash, green beans and carrots. Too much 'overcoat' for me compared to filling but himself likes them.
-
Couple of bacon rashers in a petit pain with a big bowl of HM & HG spicy butternut squash soup :D
-
Used some slices of M&S black pudding as burgers in buns. I had a real craving for fried black pudding but it's just another thing that's not like it used to be :(
-
Haggis, tatties and neeps, well what else do you have on Burns Night.
-
Sawhedge and mash tonight as it's been a while, either onion gravy or cauli cheese not decided yet.
-
Yesterday was mince and Bombay potatoes, a bit of each left over for tonight with some extra mixed veg to stretch it :D
-
Sawhedge and mash tonight as it's been a while, either onion gravy or cauli cheese not decided yet.
Both in my book :lol:
Here it’s fish pie with carrots & peas, maybe some sort of green beans
-
I know you'll find this strange, and the Canadian members will probably burn me at the stake but I don't think gravy and cheese sauce belong together :nowink:
-
Lack of ideas and OH out, so ending up eating leftovers.
Salad and some HM coleslaw, some warmed up veggie rice and some chicken.
The fridge is clear but it was a bit of a mishmash :lol:
-
A ready meal :blush: M&S haddock mornay, mash and pea. Other than being far too small for a real meal it was actually pleasant, not worth full price but I'll keep an eye open for when it's on offer for an emergency fish Friday.
-
Gastro fish in lemon/pepper crust with peas, fresh tomatoes and baby new potatoes.
-
Farm shop beef burgers 2 of 4 that went in the freezer, oven chips for himself & maybe butternut chips for me as I spied my last( well 1 & only huge squash) is going soft. Salad leaves & bits & maybe hm coleslaw for me.
-
Think it's probably time I made pizza.
-
Yesterday was homemade fish pie and peas, tonight it's homemade chilli with pilua rice 1/2 a baghette :)
-
Last night was fish pie for us also, tonight is hm pizza using the dough ready made and which we put in the freezer. I wanted a curry but got told 'I've bought stewing steak for tomorrow'.
-
We've just looked at the date on the anti-pasta that we got out of the freezer - 2014. I like fruit at breakfast, the only fruit I could find the other day was a tin of pineapple, again 2014. Oh dear, looks like we need another clear out.
-
CBA fairy here so 2 cups of cappuccino and 3 toasted & buttered hot cross buns ::)
Blame the Co op - I only went in for some milk but the buns, a pack of 8, were reduced to 50p ::)

:lol: Deffo their fault ;)
We had a chicken and bacon bake. It was going to be a pie, but I forgot to get the pastry out of the freezer. I added some extra sauce and veg and put a mash top on it, then pretended that was what I intended all along. OH would feel deeply cheated if he thought he had missed out on pie :lol:
-
Youngest son made an asparagus risotto.

I often eat things very out of date. My rule is, sniff and taste, if both are ok, eat. Mrs Bouquet.
-
I used a premade pizza base yesterday and it had a distinct white spirit taste :mad: and is still repeating on me. I have mince which needs to be cooked, might make a spag bol before the green peppers go all wrinkly.

-
OH had a busy day out off road biking and I did too much gardening to have energy left for cooking, so we had curry from the freezer with rice and an onion, tomato and cucumber salad.
There is a beer for us each in the fridge as well. I think we will be nodding off over our glasses in an hour or so though :D
-
Put some curry spices in the slow cooker with a tin of new spuds I found, a tin of toms and a couple of onions. Not expecting a miracle but at least it should be hassle free.
-
I'm defrosting mince for a cottage pie, cabbage will go nicely with it, plus more gravy :)
-
We were going to have wet mince and veg but hubby has the dreaded and doesn't feel like anything , so i might have poached egg on toast :)
-
Salt and chilli chicken legs cooked in the air-fryer. Homegrown gigantes beans with hm tomato sauce - both from the freezer, plus some veg.

-
Cold roast chicken from Sunday, mash,peas,carrots,broccoli & Savoy cabbage, gravy,pineapple & stuffing.
-
Last night was mince, mash and chunky veg not sure what they're doing with the spuds at the moment but they're very poor quality. There's mince left still so it will probably been same again tonight unless I'm hit by divine inspiration in the next couple of hours.
-
Found Lamb steaks reduced in the Co op, so just had to buy them :D
I'll grill one of them, was thinking salads with it, but it still feels a bit too chilly for that, today. So probably cook peas and baby spuds, instead.
The other 2 can go in the freezer.
-
Found Lamb steaks i saw these in' Icelands' this morning and thought about it i love lamb but hubby doesnt so no i didn't bother. :(
Spicy fish cakes with veg rice, banana and yoghurt. :)

I really can't be bothered today. Either tuna pasta bake, sans baking or beans on toast both will be liberally drenched in tabasco as I appear to be getting the snuffles.
-
Chicken Tikka Biryani
-
Been to work today (first time since mid December), went to M & S on the way home to spend my birthday vouchers. So, Chinese meal for two deal picked up. Split into two so good value. Also p icked up an Indian meal for two reduced (again split into two).

-
Friday, no brainer day.
Oven chips, a few mushies, some beans and a nasty shop bought pie from a well know maker of chippy pies. Zero effort and it's all going in the oven at the same time apart from the beans which I prefer cold.

We had both had a busy day and I cooked way too much pasta, but somehow it seems to have all disappeared ??? :blush: :lol:
-
Quiches were on special at M & S when we went earlier this week, so broccoli, tomato and cheddar quiche with potato salad with pickles. Feel really stuffed now.

Sirloin steak, chips,loads of salad for me, fried egg for himself & mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce for me.
-
Finally had some sensible sized Jacket spuds delivered from snasbods, nuked one with cheese and Worcestershire sauce which has gone really thin :mad:
-
Thought I'd have another try at meatloaf today as I'm a little tired of the usual mince dishes, I'm struggling to get my head around it being anything more than a giant beefburger though. Mixed chunky veg and mash to go with it and plenty of spoonstanding at the ready in case it turns out like the last time I made it.
-
Roast chicken, cauliflower cheese and peas.
-
Steak and ale pies with a few new pots carrots from garden and broccolli , apple and Raspberry crumble yoghurt or ice cream :)

Yesterday was the roast lamb that should have been on Sunday & today will be lamb hotpot as I can prepare it early & put it in for a long slow cook as hubby is down our daughters drains :unsure: & doesn’t know what time he’ll get finished & I’m going back to the garden club store to sort the order out that got delivered this morning & by noon I was in need of coffee & lunch. :ohmy: & a sit down

Ham salad and I made a small batch of cheese scones to go with it :)

Leftovers. Can't say I noticed any difference with the veggie mince at 50% (used beef mince the other 50%).
-
Garlic & ginger curry (chicken) & I added chunks of butternut squash that’s been hanging around awhile. It’s being raved about on the Pinch of Nom social media forum, we shall see. Well I will, himself has gorn orf curry:oh my: with rice tomatoes,cucumber & yogurt I suppose

Paul's not feeling very well and all he wanted was a chip sandwich. I've always gone with when you're under the weather eat what you think will make you feel better. We'd had a good breakfast and lunch so didn't mind going with a 'dodo' dinner. I only ate half of mine because it was not what I wanted, but hey ho, he was really happy. Things we do for Husbands. :D
-
I'm completely out of idea tonight. I made a fresh loaf lunch time so it may just be a cheese sandwich, especially as it's getting late.
-
Friday. :nowink: Oven Chips and a pastie probably some beans thrown in.

-
Mmmm, risky imo ::)
Pastry was as you'd expect from shop bought stuff - but the filling was for want of a better word, slimy. Quiche is wasn't and I may have to make a real one to get over the experience. If they'd have slapped a lid on it would have passed as a veggie pie/slice type of thing without much fuss, no need to jump on the vegan bandwaggon.
Had to google it....
Seeded spelt shortcrust pastry with spinach and SunBlush® tomatoes in a creamy oat and coconut milk filling, hand-topped with roasted tomatoes and millet.
Nah - slime.

Had to use up some grey mince and the half a tin of beans which have been in the fridge since last friday. ::)
-
Chicken stew, then I discovered we had no potatoes to go with it or suet for dumplings. In the end I made a cheese and herb cobbler topping (new one for me) and stuck the lot in the oven . I thought they were OK. OH loved them and wolfed 2 helpings :lol:
-
Chicken,ham & leek pie with a mashed potato topping with peas,carrots & broccoli
-
At breakfast which we had to have early as I had a Hospital appointment, I asked Paul to pass me the jam to put on my toast. I was spreading it and thought it looked a bit odd. It was red onion chutney! Start again, this time with jam. Tonight is salmon fillet en papiotte with lemon and watercress butter, new potatoes, carrots and courgettes.
-
Leftovers tonight, there a bit more than 1 portion of Cullen skink & the chicken,bacon & leek pie, so we’re having a starter of the Cullen Skink & a main of the pie with extra veg. Pud will be profiteroles for himself & either cheese & biscuits for me or pineapple & yogurt for me

-
Homemade Cottage pie with fresh veg, cutting down on puds :lol:
-
Planned on making a chilli from the leftover mince, half way in I find out there are no kidney beans :mad: Had to use baked beans instead.
-
I often do them that way, Lardman :D
Here I have a beef casserole in the slow-cooker with lots of veg in it, as well, so just need some mashed spuds to go with it.
-
Beef skirt in the slow cooker with some onions and also the last oxo - I'm beginning to think I forgot to do the shopping last week :wacko:

-
Ham and cheese omelette with new pots and peas, small banana with tiny bit of ice cream :)
-
HM spiced pumpkin soup & HM seedy bread.

-
Ftf steak & kidney mixed with ftf shin beef in gravy, if there’s too much it will be dished up again in another day or so, served with mash & the usual suspects of veg. Need to do extra mash ready to make a batch of fish cakes using some frozen basa fillets I bought having seen on here a few of you have basa for dinner. I take it it must be nice as it’s a repeat dinner for a few?
-
HM Cornish Pasty ftf not decided what will go with it yet, though ::)
-
Ftf steak and kidney individual puddings from the Co-op, new potatoes, carrots and sprouts to go with. I'll make some extra gravy to serve as it would be too dry otherwise.

-
My usual fish not sure whether it's Beam or Bass as i like most fish, few chips and paes, hubby fancied

I felt the need for a pud so we had plot tayberries set in jelly with ice-cream and squirty cream :D It was a nice reminder of summer on a dreary wintery day.
-
Changed my mind about that veggie mince using it on it's own there's a nasty chemical after taste and the texture doesn't hold up after prolonged cooking. Shame as it was useful to keep in the freezer.
Went with rice yesterday so it's pasta tonight with whatever I can find to make a tomato sauce from.
-
In view of the weather conditions here I’ve just put a chicken hot pot in the oven & himself has baked himself a baguette & I’ll have a couple of Yorkshire puds leftover from last night reheated. I’ve also slow cooked & glazed a gammon hock whilst the oven is on, so will think of something to do with that for tomorrow night. Busy making chicken carcass stock & that might end up with the last of the leeks & some potatoes in soup for lunch tomorrow, can anybody guess I’m cold :lol:
-
Spicy chicken bits with veg rice, crumble and yoghurt :)
-
Sausage and onions, with mixed veg and mash, enough for tomorrow as well :)

I meant to do some dumplings but forgot, but it was nice and thick anyway :)
-
I had much the same MoS but put pasta in mine rather than lentils.

Couple of chunky fish fingers, some oven chips and probably some mushrooms. I really should do some pea and corn but that would require a little more effort.

-
Never mind, it was edible and was eaten.
The same could be said about most of the food I produce :nowink:
As the oven was on yesterday I put some posh sawhedges in to cook, M&S chilli and fennel so I'm planning on mash and chunky mixed veg with them but will have to give them a taste to see if spoonstanding is appropriate.
-
Individual chicken pies, jacket potatoes, roasted veg and some tender stem broccoli.
i had a cookinhg day so i could have the weekend of. :lol:
I did the same as got to work the next couple of days and need fast option teas. Chilli made ready for tomorrow and made a big batch of roasted veg, so I had some for a veggie lasagne I made for Monday :)
-
Lardman: have to give them a taste to see if spoonstanding is appropriate.
Isn't spoonstanding ALWAYS appropriate???
I've just eaten chicken and veg, Chinese spiced, savoury rice it was yum :)
-
Isn't spoonstanding ALWAYS appropriate???
I've not been happy with my spoonstaning lately and I've been doing buttery/mustard mash instead. The jury is still out on these sawhedges, they certainly weren't chilli and fennel tasting but they weren't unpleasant either. Leftovers tonight - I should make some cauli/broc cheese too as last nights dinner was on the small side.
-
I've got some diced pork defrosting, but don't fancy another stir-fry, so probably cook it in a barbecue sauce with chips n salad bits
-
Beef casserole and dumpling, just made an Apple pie with the rest of our cookers custard or ice cream :)
-
Brisket joint slow cooked then popped in the oven to crisp it up, roast potatoes & parsnips & red & yellow peppers. Yorkshire puds ftf, peas,carrots & broccoli &some beautiful gravy, sorry Lardman .

I finished up fridge gravel, the last sawhedge, some mushies, the half a can of beans that's always in there, a couple of eggs and some crusty bread. I moved tea to lunch today, a bit of a mistake as it has left the evening somewhat empty and rather lengthy. I'm not particularly hungry tonight but Id rather wish I had some digestives to put a bit of cheese on.
-
Your not alone on that i like Dairy lee on them :D haven't done that for ages :)
-
Chicken kiev - assuming it is defrosted in time. Not sure what to put with it - mash, wedges or spicy veg rice.
-
Forgot to get anything out last night so needed something that will defrost today-
Ribeye steak, bought ‘baby’ potatoes from Aldi for a change so think we’ll have them roasted & I was going to have salad but it’s just too damn cold, so will be veg & probably gravy or peppercorn sauce for himself & garlic mushrooms in a Dijon sauce for me. Might have soup to start with at this rate to thaw me out. :)
-
cheesy jkt pud with salad, not good on a cold day, but the most effort I could manage ::)
-
Might have soup to start with at this rate to thaw me out.
I thought about doing that - but decided it was too much effort so I ate 2 dinners instead :ohmy: :nowink:

Same here. I’ve got a chicken curry out of the freezer. There are some cooked baby new potatoes leftover from yesterday which I am going to do something with, plus naan and yogurt.

-
I've got a jacket potato in the oven, I'll use up the last of our cheese with it. All of our things in the freezer are portioned for two. I am here alone at the moment and really feeling low. Whether I eat it or reheat it tomorrow I'll see.

You could have 1 portion one day & one the next or the day after. 😊
-
Last night there was not enough curry to satisfy the munchies but enough to make me want more :nowink: it actually wasn't that bad just a little too heavy on the salt.
No brainer Friday today- chunky fish fingers, oven chips and either mushy peas or beans depending on which tin I find first.

We had hm pizza tonight with a sourdough base, so vaguely on the same culinary theme, but not half as exotic sounding. Basic topping of tomato sauce and mozzarella as I am not a fan of pizza loaded up with ‘stuff’ :lol:
-
Finished off the pork mince with pasta and tomato sauce, it should have tasted better than it did. I expect next weeks meals with be somewhat odd as I really want to empty and defrost the freezer as some of the stuff in there is getting on a bit. There's the other vegan quiche for tonight with a nuked spud and probably some beans unless I can be bother to do cauli cheese.
-

Thtats a strange thing to have for an evening meal :D
-
Chicken strips done in a B Q sauce with pilua rice, pineapple and yoghurt :)
-
Chicken goujons, onion rings and hash browns. Bad diet I know but we've both been through the mill and this is what we fancied, plus it used bits up from the freezer .
-
We're behaving this evening and having a fish pie with some haddock we found in the little freezer. Plenty of cheese on top of course. It's nice to be naughty sometimes and eat things you shouldn't but we mustn't do it too often.
-
Sea bass fillet seasoned with bread crumbs few chips and peas, pineapple and ice cream :)
-
Homemade curried parsnip soup with a sprinking of freshly grated black pepper and a side of 3 slices of a sourdough boule slapped with Lurpak butter!

-
Roast pork & all the trimmings, with roast parsnips,potatoes & mix of peppers & red onion, peas,carrots,cauliflower,broccoli & cabbage & a lovely gravy with of course Yorkshire puddings :lol:
-
A quick and easy meal tonight as i have Hort club, Scotch egg and salad baby new pots and pickles :)
-
M & S ready meal as a 'treat'. Giant Yorkshire pudding with beef casserole. (not my choice). I had some vouchers that needed using up before they expired so called in on our way home. Also got some lamb for Sunday and several 'reduced' items to put in the freezer.

-
Another quick meal burger chips and baked beans, banana and yoghurt they needed eating :)
-
Griddled Halloumi cheese with a warm potato salad. We worked out the cheese has been in the freezer since last summer so really needs eating up. The idea was to empty the little freezer but the little shop round the corner had Kingsmill bread, white and brown, reduced to 13p a loaf so got two of each.
-
Spicy hot chicken strips with veg rice, fruit yoghurt for pud :)
-
Pepper steak grills, air fryer potato chunks and mixed steamed veg, including some plot kale.
-
Hm sweet & sour chicken with rice & a packet of prawn crackers.
-
Paul got a spag bol from the reduced section for 50p. Good bargain I thought, absolutely not. More spag than bol and no taste to the bol. It was hot and filling and for 50p it filled a gap. The garlic bread from the freezer made it taste better as did the grated cheese on the top. Will give that one a miss if we see it again.
-
Not sure whether it was sea bass or sea bream what ever it was it was good chips and peas still No Pud but i have been out for lunch :D

-
We had something simple jacket potato and a mixed salad with cold meats, Apple and raspberry pie with ice cream, last night.
Tonight we have a take away Curry :D
-
We were going to make a moussaka and have started it but then found out we don't have enough milk nor any eggs so plan abandoned until later in the week. Will just need taking out the freezer to finish off. Now we've got to look in the freezer to see what we can find.

-
Where’s Mum & Lardman? You not eating?
Mum has a busy couple of weeks on and said she would not be around much. Not sure about Lardman.

Spag bol tonight :)
-
sausages mash peas onions tomatoe, pineapple and blueberries tiny ice cream :)
-
I found a spice mix in the box for Carraibean (sp) Chicken. We found some chicken in the freezer but it was so frost bitten that we really didn't fancy it. So it was the sauce mix with mushrooms, onions, red pepper and some Chorizo we found, really enjoyed it. Why are the meals you 'put together' in an emergency and you can't repeat again. more tasty and enjoyable than others .
-
Fish, chips and peas. Were going to order them from the Chippy up the road but noticed they had a notice in the window saying they are closed as 'on holiday'. Went round the block and got Findus fish and own brand chips from the Co-op.
-
Sea Bream fillet baked few chips and peas, rest of pineapple and ice cream :)
-
Where’s Mum & Lardman? You not eating?
I'm a little under the weather and I've not bothered doing much besides the odd cheese sandwich.

Big salads for dinner, with greens from the garden.

Pire pire stirfry with my own bits and pieces in with 1/2 a baghette :D

-
Roast duck breast with lyonnaise potatoes, carrots,peas & cauliflower with my own Chinese plum sauce on the side.
-
Roast chicken and baked potatoes with kale from the plot. Plot rhubarb in a crumble for pud. Been allotmenteering most of the day so needed something substantial :)

cold meats with a mixed salad and pickles, pineapple and ice cream :)
-
Spur of the moment we went out for dinner to 'Lemon Grass'which is Thai food it was very nice but quite expensive for what it was that was last night.
Tonight Bacon steak chips and peas, banana and yoghurt :)
-
Hubby didn’t seem to fancy the mince & onions I’ve taken out of the freezer to turn into something, so he’s having leftover lamb stew from last night, so I’ve turned the mince into dirty macaroni, only thing is there is not a vat of it :lol:. So that’s lunch for me & 2 year old grandson sorted for tomorrow :lol:
-
HM burgers in buns, salad and coleslaw.
-
Shopping delivery day - M&S special fried rice which as far as I can tell is just fried rice with a few prawns and some thin sliced pork. 3 Mins in the microwave and saves having to think of a meal.
-
Now I've got in burger mood, have been seeing the chicken burger ad on tv so tried them. Don't think the ones we got are the ones on the ad as they looked nothing like them. No taste and not much substance. considering they were Birds Eye, a bit of a let down. I'll stick with the recipe I followed the other day for beef ones.
-
Scotch egg and mixed salad using up odds and ends, rest of pineapple and ice cream, :D

You might want to try the Ultimate Fillet Burgers. The Sizzler one makes a good fakeaway version of a KFC zinger burger.
Tonight for us was chicken with veggie rice.

My favourite Lamb chops with peas and baby new potatoes, plus a dollop of mint sauce :)

Last of the chewy pork steaks from Costco :wacko, with all the trimmings for roast pork & ….drum roll please…the first pickings of asparagus with carrots,peas & cabbage .

The only joint we could find was half a chicken but we're having turkey next weekend when we've got visitors. Hunting through the freezers threw up a load of blanks until Paul found some sausages and asked for Toad in the Hole.
-
Cajun chicken and rice last night , sawhedge of an unknown standard and mash tonight. Onion gravy or cauli cheese depending on my level of cba.

What must have been the world smallest fish pie. I'm going to have to start checking weights, it's defeating the point of a ready meal if I have to go and cook something else afterwards.
-
Made a mistake doing the fish pie last night, forgot today was Friday and the plan was for battered cod and a few oven chips. Think I'll leave that until tomorrow and have beans on toast tonight.
-
Chicken traybake with peppers, tomatoes, onions, sweetcorn and a liberal sprinkle of Cajun spices :)
-
Hm pizza ( not very good,rather soggy !) wedges & for me salad
-
M&S own brand baked beans - horrible. Only bought them as the branston ones were out of stock again but I'll do without in future. The rest of the tin will have to go in the bean and chorizo casserole headed for the slow cooker today, mustard mash or crusty bread to go with it depending on what the cba fairy feels like.
-
We have a buffet on the side in the kitchen, sandwiches, quiche, crisps and dips. Help yourself day when you feel you need it. There's garlic prawns, salmon and cucumber, ham and mustard in the sandwiches.

Slice of toast with spreads cheese, grapes.

-
Finally managed to do the spag bol - meh, it needed some garlic bread with it.

Turkey and mushroom pie. Hopefully that will finish the turkey from Sunday off. Can't find any puff pastry in the freezer (unusual for us) so it will have to be shortcrust so it will have a bottom and top. When Paul gets home I'll find out what he wants with it.
-
Finishing off the spag bol.
-
I quite like a spag bol sandwich, spag heated up in the microvave with a bit of cheese grated on top. Makes a nice lunch. I often have last's night left overs in a sandwich.
-
The rest of the chilli pork strips, with oven chips, coleslaw and tomatoes.

Some flavoured pork kebabs that Paul has unearthed from the freezer, veggie rice to go with.

Whole pre-seasoned chicken was on offer so I thought I'd treat myself. Pity the delivery woman managed to squash it flat with a bag of spuds. Leeks for a change and a few carrots and mash because putting the oven on for a few roasties feels like a waste.
-

-
Admiral's fish pie. We finished work at 3pm and had a slot booked in at the dump for 3.45pm with a load of garden rubbish. As Havenstreet is closed off at the moment with roadworks we would have to take a roundabout route home so thought a ready meal would be a good idea. Hardly any traffic and got home half an hour before we thought we would so could have made something from scratch.

Real treat for us tonight, crab salad and new potatoes. Crab gifted to us by a grateful customer who has a boat and fishes and has four crab pots in Freshwater Bay. Thank goodness he had prepared it as although I've done it once or twice it is a time consuming project and nearly (!) put me off eating it.

Have to admit that it was just fabulous, and took just minutes...
-
Another easy dinner Scotch egg and a mixed salad with colslaw and pickles, rest of pud from Sunday :)

‘‘Twas supposed to be salmon, but when himself opened it up he said there was just 2 tiny pieces so being the kind soul I am I said he could have both pieces :lol. I was going to have stir fry veg & noodles with mine anyway so I just threw some quickly defrosted prawns in with it & Chinese plum sauce , yum yum. Himself had jacket potato, baked tomato & grated cheese :wacko:

That is almost exactly what I had, but it wasn’t leftovers, just spicy chicken and veggies with spicy rice.
-
End up with mushroom rice last night so the chicken really needs to be cooked today. I'm currently browsing the ready to cook stuff for marinade inspiration otherwise it's just getting diced and boiled.
-
HM chicken curry and rice ftf with salad bits.

Mac Cheese as i've been out all day, No pud :D

-
I'd planned on making a chilli but I think I'd prefer cottage pie.
-
As it's Paul's birthday his sister brought him back a veal escalope (which he loves) from Marlow where she lives and her butcher sells veal and venison. It's a large escalope so will cut it in half, egg and breadcrumb it to make Weiner Schnitzel which we both like, saute potatoes and salad to go with.

-
Leftover cottage pie. Finished the leeks yesterday so I'll have to return to chunky mix veg tonight.
-
I made some spicy bean and tomato stew this morning and prepped up skin-on potato cubes for the air-fryer. The plan is to add leftover chicken and fresh wilted plot spinach to some of the heated up stew, set the air-fryer to work on the spuds and generally not have to do a lot to get a meal on the table.
There are still a few bags of hybrid berries in the freezer from last year and the plants are covered with flowers already, so used 1 bag up to set in jelly for pud. Ice-cream may also be involved ;) :lol:
-
Cottage pie tonight with fresh veg, rest of fruit trifle :)

Lamb steak, chips, and Greek salad :D

-
Nothing was springing to mind, freezer hasn’t got much in it, been to Tesco & nothing jumped out at me . Got some mash leftover from last night & the last of my homegrown parsley if it’s still ok in the fridge :nowink:, so I’ve just cooked a bag of basa fillets (1st time using it?) so fish cakes, chips & mushy peas it will be, more comfort food required as it’s so cold here

Both feeling under the weather with slightly funny tums so minimum effort today

Cheeseburgers and onions in a crusty roll. The new bakers in the village makes them and all their bread products are lovely. Can't say the same about the Belgian buns though as they are too big and the fruit is only in the centre. He only opened last Monday so we'll give him time to sort things out.

Leftover curry.
We were down to the last few frozen berries from last year, but this years crop is on the way, so used the remainders to make hm gelato for pud :)
-
Chicken casserole in the slow cooker, was a bit concerned as the light didn't come on when switched on but all appears to be in working order and heated up nicely. The bulb in the indicator light must have gone(blown) but I can't see any way of replacing it. New potatoes to put in later so it's just the one p ot to wash up.
-
Planned on making a large cottage pie but it's a bit too hot to be bothered. Beans on toast sounds about the right amount of CBA :nowink:
-
Air fryer roasted veg with couscous and a yogurt dressing. More gelato for pud.

Friday -so it should be oven chip and whatever, but it's way too hot to put the oven on. Looking in the fridge I have leftover chilli and some left over mashed potatoes. It's going to be hard not to just put them both in the microwave for 4 minutes and call it a meal :nowink:

Battered cod and chips for me, pork chop and chips for Paul. The carrots in the basket are sooo shrivelled that they've gone in the compost bin. We only bought them on Tuesday!
-
Every shopping I buy some chicken thighs thinking I'll make something tasty out with them after marinating for few day. Every time I end up dumping the lot as is in the slow cooker, which is exactly what I'll do this morning. Dinner will end up being some sort of shredded chicken, might spice it up and put it with a few chips depending on the weather.

I lied it wasn’t smoked haddock cos hubby found the cooked & flaked fish lurking in the microwave this morning
eewww - bet that smells nice.
Also chicken here, a couple more of those thighs with some wedges and a few mushies, not award winning but nice enough, it make a big difference just crisping the skins up a bit in the oven too.
-
We've just had a nice fry up thats all we had in stock, go shopping tomorrow as i'd run everything down :)
-
We were supposed to be going on a picnic type meal with some friends who own land running down to the river in Newport. On the other side of the river is the back of the stage at the festival so we can hear the music but not see it. Due to the wet weather this has been cancelled (our picnic not the festival) so an emergency tea of whatever we can find that we can cook quickly.
-
Simple food here - sliced ham, coleslaw, jkt spud and salad bits n pieces :)
-
Got some really HUGE potatoes in my last Trashco delivery, so I've got mince defrosting to make a large cottage pie (may only need 1 potato, they were that big!!)

After my light lunch I need a nap... however, the grass needs cutting.
-
I've got potatoes and onions frying gently in a little olive oil and a pork chop with Cajun spices in the George Foreman grill, plus salad bits to go on the side...

Peanut butter and ? :unsure: Not Nutella surely :tongue2:
Got bargain steak at work yesterday so that was tea. Our lift was broken which meant walking the stock down from the storage fridge all morning to fill the shelves, then walking the stock that was over from the delivery back up to the storage fridge. I reckon I made more than 50 trips. Steak wolfed like I had not been fed for a week and legs feel like they are on strike today :lol:
-
I've got 2 small and stuck together, pork loin slices out to defrost for a traybake (spuds, peppers, onions, courgette, tomatoes) which will do for tomorrow as well, with some green veg or salad...

Today is the day when I put the chicken thighs from Wednesday's shopping in the slow cooker as I've run out of time to do anything nice with them - again. I'm planning on cooking until pull apart able.
-
I think I can beat the sugar sandwich! My Grandma (french born) used to leave out on the side an opened can of condensed milk so it would get a 'crust' and then spread this on a door stop piece of bread. As I am lactose intolerant she never gave me a second slice as the first one didn't last long in my stomach! The rest of my family were often served this as a 'special treat'! :D
-
Added some rice and mushies to the chicken stock from yesterdays thighs in the slow cooker, plenty for a couple of meals.
-
quick dinner tonight burger and salad , strawberry's from garden ice cream :D

OK wighty - you win hands down :lol: PB&N had me going yuck, but that one really does it. I love yogurt, but milk for me is not appetising unless disguised in a latte. I am sure it was a treat, but I would run screaming from that :lol:
Last night, I was working until early evening so was treated to an Indian takeaway :D I had a chicken curry and sag rice. OH managed rice, curry and a naan, then was dozing off in a carb overload ::)
-
Spaghette bol tonight another quick meal i'm out again :D

-
Fishcakes, oven chips, peas and HM coleslaw.

-
Same here, it's soo hot, I'm having a ham, cheese and salad baguette with a glass of Greek vino colapso.
That'll do 8)

-
Chana dhal with tomatoes, spicy air fryer chicken legs, salad, yogurt and some roti out of a bag that just needed heating on each side in a frying pan. I wasn’t expecting much, but they were not bad at all.
-
We had an absolute feast today!
Son #2 made his famous fried chicken.
Mrs. Sub_p made her famous squash casserole, made with crookneck squash from my garden and bi-colored squash from the organic farm where Son #1 works (the farm owner generously shares produce with all of her staff, none of her employees go home hungry! All employers should be that generous and kind, it is a significant employee benefit).
Son #1 also brought some wonderful green and wax beans and an orange slicing tomato (also from the farm).
No potatoes, pasta or rice needed. We ate like kings without them!
-
Mrs. Sub_p made her famous squash casserole
Is that a summer squash recipe SP (what we would call courgettes) Any chance of sharing? I rather like American style casseroles and my plot plants look like they are about to start deluging me with fruits.
I agree about your son’s employer as well. Not only kind, but a great way to ensure nothing gets binned that could be eaten. Food waste in retail is quite big news over here and most shops are taking steps to reduce it. We get to take anything reduced and not sold at work and it very popular. We also get to take anything recalled for things like labelling anomalies. I have had some great gifts that way - a whole turkey one December as it was labelled with the wrong weight and a rolled shoulder of lamb joint another year because they had missed an ingredient off the list on the box.
They do try and give away stuff to charity, but they are a bit erratic about when they pick up. Failing all else and stuff that the staff have rejected or been failed to be collected, or unfit to eat as damaged, it goes into a special bin to go for methane production for power stations.
-
I think it is a Paula Deen recipe, or modified from a Paula Deen Recipe. It seems PD has more than one squash casserole! If I can get the recipe, I will scan it and post it.
Yes, the squash would be considered courgettes. The bi-color type I think is called Zephyr, looks like: (https://i0.wp.com/cleangreensimple.com/wp-content/uploads/zephyr-squash.jpg?resize=533%2C400&ssl=1)

Cottage pie and peas , plumb crumble and ice cream :)

Ask and you shall receive. I scanned it both as a .jpg and as a .pdf file, use whichever works for you.
My wife was not certain of the recipe source; possibly Paula Deen, but that is uncertain. I hope you enjoy it, I will likely put a link to this post over in the recipe section as well.
-
Also cottage pie and mixed veg,
Interesting recipe SP - it;s begging for some chilli flakes :nowink:
-
Roasted new potatoes and chicken thighs, plus the last of the plot broad beans and some bought in tender stem broccoli.
Interesting recipe SP - it;s begging for some chilli flakes :nowink:
Well think of it as a starting block like basic mac and cheese and mess it around as you see fit ;)

Traybake with sausages, new potatoes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, peppers and anything else I can find in the fridge that needs using up. Sausages reduced to 50p in the little shop up the road. Paul bought all four packets they had reduced, so the y will become a staple food I think.

I made a batch of Cornish Pasties yesterday, so something not pastry today, I thought.
However, this morning I found that silly me forgot to put the other half of the frozen shortcrust pack, back into the freezer :ohmy: ::) Serves me right for being lazy, buying ready made pastry ::)
So tonight it's cheese, onion and potato pie with coleslaw and salad :D
-
Mum do you have a special recipe for Cornish Pasties ? are they easy to make i keep thinking about it but thats as far as it goes :lol:

Have a look here https://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=129355.msg1512312#msg1512312
I often used to make batches for my Grandson's football team :D
Now I make them just for me, I often cheat and use frozen shortcrust, and less filling, obviously. Any spares freeze well :)

I must have bookmarked the the Cornish pastry web page when you posted it the first time and never got round to it :nowink: Shameful really as all but the swede are stable cupboard items.
There's 1 tiny chicken thigh left for tonight - not sure if it's going to get made into a meal or just eaten as is and I'll do some pasta and pesto later.

Recommended :D
The only change I made was that I chucked the courgettes into the air-fryer to soften them rather than boil them. They had a tiny bit of oil and some seasoning on them. Enough water came out that I didn’t need to squeeze them afterwards.

Just looked it up it looks good but does it taste good what did you have with it ??
-
I really liked it, I just had a side bowl of mixed salad with it - it already had tomatoes, red & green peppers and onions in it, so I didn't think it need much more in the way of veg ;)
-
A rather delicious chicken & tomato & vegetable sauce with pasta & Parmesan cooked up by himself whilst I was out on a trip.

KFC. Had to have an ultrasound scan at the Hospital at 3pm , not allowed to eat anything for four hours beforehand! And only allowed to drink 'clear' fluids (Paul and I decided that did not include Gin, Vodka or white rum!!!)

Which brand MoS? I've used the schwartz one a couple of times in the slowcooker and thought it was passable verging on tasty.
Its Friday - so it's oven chip night. I really had a craving for some pressed cod roe earlier this week, even physically going shopping to trashco to find some. It appears to have disappeared - do they not sell it any more? Nothing else tickled my fancy with there so it's dippy eggs , chips and a few mushies tonight.
-
M/s Mc cheese as i 'd been out for lunch, rest of pineapple and more raspberries :)

I've thrown the packet but pretty sure it was the schwartz one. Perhaps it improves with longer cooking, I just followed the pkt destructions.

-
I made a curry sauce base yesterday, so we are having that baked with basa fillets on a bed of wilted and chopped plot greens. Naan, salad and some frozen veggie samosas that can also cook in the oven to go with it.

Mental note to put a nice savoy on the shopping ... mmmm cabbage.
-
Tuna bake tonight it made a change, banana yoghurt choc sauce and nuts :)
-
Lamb kebabs and salad stuff in pita bread :)
-
I've spiced up the leftover mince - pretty lost for a carb though. I don't really want rice, wedges, or chips and there hasn't been a spud worth nuking for ages - I suppose I could do 2 or 3 small ones it just doesn't feel the same. ::)

Fish and chips, our local corner shop sell battered cod, plus a bag of frozen chips and a small bag of frozen peas for a fiver. This makes two meals for the two of us and is well worth the money. Friday's dinner is a tasty, cheap meal. The most expensive thing on the menu is probably the Tartar Sauce!
-
Feels like it's about time I did some tuna pasta bake.
-
Paul got some sausages from the Island Meat Company, love their burgers but the sausages are too 'solid' for me (not a big fan of sausages in the first place). Using up the last three from the tray of six tonight with plenty of onions, relish and anything else I can find to add, in our favourite Saturday purchase, a bread roll. Dave only opened his bakery a year ago after being made redundant after the Pandemic.

Put some chicken thighs in the slow cooker at lunchtime but that's as far as I've got.

-

Back to pasta tonight. Either tuna pasta bake of mac and cheese, depending on which pasta falls out the cupboard first.
-
Paul's had a bit of an upset stomach today, apparently, so have decided on plain breaded chicken goujons, new potatoes and green beans. Hopefully a 'plain' basic meal will sort him out.

Steak and salad.

Ham hock and mushroom tagliatelle.

Ham and tomato quiche made by the local butcher's wife with French beans, carrots, spinach, a small potato and leek. The last five items harvested this week
-
I have made chicken kievs from scratch this morning, Paul came home from work with a pack of chicken kievs reduced in the Co-op to £2 for four! Why did I bother, I ask. We've got to eat mine as I'd defrosted the chicken so can't refreeze it. Divided Paul's in half and we can eat them another time, New potatoes and salad to go with. (He also bought several other items reduced, all now stashed away, so I can't get too cross with him.)He does love a yellow sticker and it's the first place he goes to.

Respect to all of you who are still cooking. I am limiting myself to 1 pan for 10 mins max and that is on a good day.
Today is another 30 degrees C day, so no cooking. We are going to have a green salad with cold meat and some crusty rolls, plus a tomato and mozzarella salad with tomatoes and basil from the greenhouse.
-
Yesterday after a 2nd long day travelling we ended up with cheese & biscuits,grapes, tomatoes & cucumbers, with himself starting with apple pie & custard :tongue2: plus a couple of glasses of vino colapso. Tonight we’re having the sirloin steaks we bought at Tebay farm shop with jacket potato,mushrooms & salad.
-
No cooking here, either, tinned tuna, tinned sweetcorn, add chilli mayo and stir - serve with salad bits. :D
-
Not happening here either. I can't find a spud big enough to survive being nuked so it's cheese sandwich time.
-
Spag bol.
-
I put some beef shin in the slow cooker earlier with some onions and an oxo. There's half a savoy waiting in the fridge and I think mash is called for, I'm just waiting for the promised thunderstorms to cool the place down enough to venture into the kitchen.
-
Paul always cooks on a Sunday, he trained as a chef, so should know what he's doing. (ie, use every knife, fork, spoon in the drawer, leave them on the side for me to clear up tomorrow!) It's gammon hocks, roast p otatoes, swede, parsnips and carrots tonight apparently. After 26 years together you'd think he would know I don't like gammon, never have. Oh well, I'll eat a bit and smile gratefully
-
Despite being cooked all day the shin was still on the chewy side but very tasty none the less. I do think a piece of meat is better than diced for things like that, braising steak appears to have gone out of fashion though.
Leftovers tonight sans cabbage, that will have to be substituted with chunky mixed veg.
-
I've got some minced beef defrosting for a cottage pie, will add some lentils and carrots, to the beef to stretch it a bit, and I've got a pkt of instant mash going out of date, so that'll do for the topping.
Fancy some broccoli with it - so that's sorted then :D
-
Sausages new pots broccolli and peas fried onion and spoon standing :) No pud tonight didn't make one for the weekend i wonder WHY :)
-
Skinless chicken thighs baked in the oven with potato wedges, onions,red pepper, served with boiled carrots & cauliflower, garlic bread. Himself has bought him cheese cake&I’ve got Scottish strawberries & yogurt

I'm out of sync with the shopping for some reason and it's very slim picking until late this evening after the delivery. I have curry munchies. I'm torn between a lentil, chickpea and spinach curry ftf or putting a tin of new spuds in the slow cooker with a bombay potato packet mix :nowink:
-
I have curry munchies.
Same here today , so I'm off to check the freezer drawers, cos they'll decide what goes in it - toms and cukes in the g/house, so salad to go with it :D
-
Dansak curry from freezer with pilua rice from f/f chopped up onion and cucumber plus chutney and popadoms. :)
-
I went with the bombay spuds and added some cauli and the last of the spinach. Adequate for a slow cooker ready meal from a packet and there's a lunchtime size portion left for the freezer.
Chicken and mushy slice and a handful of chips tonight so I can finish off the half a tin of beans that's in the fridge.
-
Pork Faggots new pots broccolli carrots and peas, Raspberry trifel for pud
-
Mash topped pie. The filling was hm tomato sauce, various veg and cubes of cheese. Plot cabbage to go with it.
-
Boring afternoon, because of rain outside, so I made some scones, to have with cream and jam :)
Ate some of said scones, so too full to bother with an evening meal.
(Cheaper on my wallet but not so good for my health/weight :lol: :lol:)
-
so I made some scones, to have with cream and jam :)
Hm scones, jam and cream - now that sounds good :D
Good job we don’t all live closer. You would have set off a small stampede to your house :lol:
Tonight is chicken roasted with garlic, chilli and spices, hm sourdough flatbreads and coleslaw for us.
-
With weather being so stormy, last night, I sorted out some braising beef from the depths of the freezer and today it is in the slow cooker with a load of fresh and dried veggies. That'll stick to my ribs for a few days, I reckon :lol: :lol:
-
Jacket potato with mixed salad and cold meats, rest of trifle all gone now :(
-

Add some herby dumplings to it - go on you know you want to :tongue2: :tongue2:
I finished off the bombay spuds - but it wasn't filling. I've already had to make some cheese on toast and I have a feeling that I'll also need a jacket spud with tuna in a bit. Im ravenous, I blame the weather too.
-
Freezer surprise.
-
Was going to do SS chicken with the left over rice from yesterday - but it's not exactly the weather for it.

Oven baked salmon-mine was in teriyaki sauce, savoury rice-himself didn’t even pick the bits out :lol: with tomatoes & cucumbers on the side

Messed around mac and cheese with roasted squash added into the mix. Just some peas on the side. It was very filling, but OH managed 2 helpings … he is now in a bit of a food coma and fast dozing off though :lol:
-
Fish pie with boiled pots and broccoli.
-
Theres chicken left, thinking I might just do some mash, stuffing and veggies feels like it's been a while since I poured gravy over something.
-
Cooked lamb ftf made into stew or hotpot, I’m hoping hotpot but I’m not todays chef :lol:
-
Bangers and mash with spoon standing. Bog standard food as I've had a bad reaction to some tablets I was prescribed. They told me they don't contain Lactose (to which I'm intolerant) so I took them, only two, but it's enough to set me off. On further investigation have found it's not the tablet that contains it, it's the coating. :nowink: 48 hours on just water to wash it out so Paul has been looking after himself. (I notice that means pizza one night and a kebab the next!)
-
Cooked lamb ftf made into stew or hotpot, I’m hoping hotpot but I’m not todays chef :lol:

-
Bought a bag of prepared cauli and broccoli for 10p, added one potato and a veg oxo cube and turned it into soup with some blue cheese that had been in the fridge for a while. Can't make it again as I didn't note down the quantities.

The last of what feels like never ending chicken. I really cba today so it's either getting spiced up or covered in a pepper corn sauce and then put with a few oven chips and some rather wrinkly mushrooms.
-
Roast pork & all the trimmings, roast potatoes, might even do parsnips as I’ve got some of last years in the freezer, cauliflower cheese ftf, if I can be bothered to go to the plot, there might even be Mediterranean veg, as there’s an aubergine I think & maybe the last courgette. It will need to not be raining though :lol: And of course gravy.
-
Lasagne, went to three shops today for a pepper but all the local ones didn't have any and we really couldn't be bothered to go to Shanklin to the big (bigger) shop. All of three miles but distance here is probably multiplied by your ideas of distance ten fold.
-
Roast pork chop & potatoes with peas and carrots, gravy and mint sauce :)

As I've said before, Paul loves a yellow 'reduced' sticker. I will excuse him today as he got two chicken breasts reduced from £3.49 to 32p! Our corner shop is doing Sharwoods curry sauces 'for this week only' at 60p a jar and he's been picking up a couple to 'stockpile'. So chicken curry tonight, we have bhajis in the freezer and rice is a staple foodstuff here so a really cheap meal.

-
The other half of the quiche with pots and creamed leeks.
-
I think it's probably time for sawhedge and mash.
-
Baked plaice,with probably lyonnaise potatoes, samphire, & carrots. Always feel it should have a sauce but usually end up with a blob of mayo, I suppose I could make tartar sauce ???
-
Looks like I forgot to say I made a potful of beef chilli yesterday ::) so I'll have some more of it today as there wasn't any room in the freezer for all of the portions!
Looks like it is time to stop batch cooking and eat more of what's in there, or there'll be no room for the holiday bakes :ohmy:

-
It'll still be good, honest! ( I often do the same ::))
It wasn't but I think that was just me - things just didn't gel tonight, the spuds went in the water, I over cooked the broccoli and desicated the chop reheating in the microwave. It tasted fine but I swear even the dog was laughing as I dished it up. :nowink:
-
Spanakopita made with plot chard and I also added some leeks which had been cooked down slowly in a bit of butter. It ended up as quite a big pie, so half left for another night. Plot spuds and veg to go with, but went easy on the veg as the pie already had a lot in it.
-
Freezer Surprise. :ohmy: ::)
-
There's one fillet of batter cod left - might as less use that up so I can bin the box. Handful of oven chips and whatever I can find that's green otherwise I have to resort to baked beans.

Home made Cottage pie with fresh veg , not sure about pud might be another £ pud :)

-
Cajun chicken with coleslaw, tomatoes (still from the g/house :ohmy:) and a jacket spud.
-
Leftovers from last night with extra roast potatoes & parsnips
-
It's probably time for some pasta - Tuna pasta bake or mac and cheese.
-
Veggie dinner tonight. Got some spicy chickpeas on now, plus prepped for wilted plot greens in garlicky herby yogurt.
I need them out of the way as I am making flat breads later. Reheating chickpeas and chucking the yogurt on the greens is about all I can manage without incinerating flat breads :blush:
-
I've got a pack of mince that I need to use, so thinking of Lasagna, but can I be bothered with putting the oven on and making a cheese sauce for the topping?
Probably not - so Spag Bol it is then :lol: :lol:
-
Hot and spicy pork steaks something different with chips and peas, yoghurt for pud :)

-
CBA here again, so a tin of veg soup and a toasted cheese & onion sandwich....
-
Reduced price chicken kievs and new potatoes, apparently. As Paul has the day off tomorrow due to a Hospital appointment and the need to get two new tyres on the van, I shall be with him and can accompany him round the supermarket.
-
Really CBA today .. If there was any bread I'd do beans on toast but as there isn't, I'm going to be forced into sawhedge and mash.
-
Pasta stuffed 'pillows' as my Granddaughter calls them, chicken and pancetta with a tomato and marscapone cheese sauce. Garlic bread on the side.

A pepper and a few more cherry toms from the g/house, a rasher of bacon, and sliced onion, cooked in the slow cooker since this morning, then stirred into penne pasta with a very good 'handful' of cheese on top.
Delish :lol:

-
Tonight we have our usual fish dinner i have fresh Sea Bass caught this week hubby pkt cod and chips peas,
Banana and yoghurt for pud :)
-
Fish pie, I used to make my own but now I work on Fridays it's easier to buy one. Lazy I know but bits of life here are overwhelming me. I have the last scan tomorrow morning which will prove that there is nothing wrong with my stomach than the fact I can't absorb Lactose(stroke) lactase. It's taken them 60 years!

After a break for a few weeks …smoked haddock risotto with peasote]
Do you have a recipe for this 'smoked haddock risotto' please, Les x
I sort of made it up.
Poach some haddock in water, drain when cooked & put to cool. Save the poaching water and add a fish stock cube of jelly pot.
In a large frying pan, use my wok, fry a finely chopped onion in oil or whatever you normally fry in, until softened, add 100g risotto rice per person as there’s 2 of us that’s 200g, stir it through the onions &oil. Grind in some black pepper. Start to add a ladleful of the saved poaching liquid & cook until absorbed, add a ladleful at a time, keeping the liquid hot as it’s in waiting. Until it’s all gone, if more is needed add more boiling water to your pan & continue to add a ladleful at a time until the rice is cooked, you do need to stir it all the time. I add peas or broad beans, or whatever I fancy about 5 minutes before the end. Once all done I stir in 40 gms of finely grated Parmesan & but I also add a couple of Mclleland seriously strong cheese squares or the tubs of it, this makes it very creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve with a poached egg on top . Apart from the rice & Parmesan I don’t really measure anything .
-
Gastro lemon pepper fish fillet with chips and coleslaw.
-
Soddages cooked in the oven as also had plot spuds in there, plus a dish of braised veg. There were leeks and turnips from the plot and some carrots which weren’t, but needed to be used up.
-
King prawn sweet and sour takeaway.
-
I have curry munchies, there's nothing meaty left to curry though. I have an emergency lentil/chick pea and spinach one in the freezer but I always think veggie food is more lunch than dinner ::) but it will do if I can't figure out something better.
-
Curry munchies here, as well :D Got some chicken pieces defrosting, they're stuck together in a lump so couldn't work out exactly what they are :lol:
-
Thank you Snowdrop for that.

Beef in Guinness casserole ftf, mashed potatoes,peas,carrots & cabbage, just the comfort food we needed today

Although I couldn't find anything to curry in the freezer yesterday, I did find some sliced beef in gravy (anyone remember when I last slow cooked a beef joint?) So it's sliced beef, spuds, possibly roasties if I CBA and chunky mixed veggies tonight, no eggs for yellow frizbee's though.

I'm having the rest of the curry, today, because I'm trying to empty the freezer, rather than add to it :D

Hg jacket potatoes,home cooked gammon hock joint, cheese, baked beans for himself, salad & hm coleslaw for me and some beetroot & apple chutney that I made yesterday & was surprisingly nice as I normally leave any chutneys to mature for a few weeks but this was a half jar, looks like I’ve been missing out :lol:
-
Dunno. Need to use up stuff in the freezer and thinking of battered fish fingers with oven chips and baked beans.
-
Think the rest of the mince is off to make a chilli as I didn't really care for yesterdays cottage pie.
-
Mince here as well, Chilli for me :)
I'm adding some curry spices to the leftovers for tonight :D

The oven has had a spring clean now >:(

Oh that normally happens to me just after I’ve cleaned it :mad:
-
It's Friday, so whatever I can find to go with a few oven chips. I think there's probably a can of mushy peas for the green food group otherwise peas and sweetcorn from the freezer.
-
Whole seabass is defrosting, chips and fridge gravel salad to go with it, plenty of mayo, of course :lol:
-
Hm fish pie with a reduced fish pie selection pack from Morrisons. Don't often go in there as neither of us like it after their makeover. Carrots and green beans with.

Chicken tikka masala and rice.

There's a pork steak defrosting, so probably a traybake...

Seems like there is Mr G and it sounds quite good :)
https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a35351588/savoury-crumble/

That looks fabulous! There's something about a simple crumble, and to have my faves in there as well must be a good sign!

Sounds even better! I've just roasted a load of chicken for cold!
Going to make a date and walnut cake in the bread machine very soon!
I'm getting a bit overkeen on the thing, but have you done one like that? (Sure you have at some stage)!
-
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a sandwich, thats what I have for my dinner everyday. Mrs B
-
Wet mince and mash potato, not sure about pud :)
-
Hm meatballs ftf, gnocchi for him & fresh tagliatelle for me & maybe apple cake for afters if I get chance to make it, I’ve been threatening for days :)
-
I've got the slow cooker nearly full with a load of Pinto beans, red pepper, onions, carrots, garlic and a tin of chopped toms - meatballs and some spices, to go in soon. :D
-
Sausage, egg and chips. Neither of us are in the mood for anything more adventurous.
-
More chicken, the left over bits and whatever veggies I can find in the freezer.
-
HM pizza. I did the spinach and egg one which I can’t remember the proper name for, but with wilted plot chard rather than spinach.
-
Just chucked some rice and mushies into the slow cooker with the chicken stock, I 'll probably add some veggies and spice it up a bit later.
-
2 slices of toast with marmite on. Then 1 slice with reduced sugar marmalade. I must start doing some cooking - maybe. :unsure: Mrs B

Spicy chicken pieces with veg rice, no pud picklets later and fruit :)
-
Lunch was the thickest chicken soup I've ever made - almost a casserole, but tonight it's half a Tesco Margherita, while we watch 'The Good Life' for the umpteenth time!
What a fabulous British sit-com that was all those years ago! Sadly, we've lost two of the characters! It must have stirred us newly-weds into gardening, which is probably why I'm here! (Back then, gardening wasn't quite as high on the agenda...)!
(Just ordered Paul Eddington's biography from Ebay...)!
-
Beef burger chips and beans, i've been out for lunch so cba, i did buy 2 chocolate brownies warmed up for our pud with either yoghurt or ice cream :D
-
I made a date and walnut loaf yesterday, so we'll try a chunk of that, well-buttered, for supper!
It really needs a few days to mature, but who cares...
-
I've been out most of the day dealing with yet more unnecessary drama and hassle so the planned slow cooked beef and onions hasn't happened.
I really don't want chips so it's looking like pasta and pesto :(
-
I've been out most of the day dealing with yet more unnecessary drama and hassle
Just what you didn’t need. Sounds draining :(
We had a mini roast with chicken legs, spuds and veg because we didn’t have a roast at the weekend and OH was a bit disappointed ::) :lol:
-
Fish pie with pots and either creamed leeks or sprouts.
-
Nearly forgot to put the beef in :ohmy: Hopefully there's enough time for it to be cooked for dinner, if not there's a tin of beans in the cupboard and some bread I made this morning.
Just what you didn’t need. Sounds draining :(
I think Ms Garbo had it right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGCHAO1u-M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGCHAO1u-M)
-
I made five lunches today for the two of us - macaroni cheese, which is a staple here!
It took me all morning...
Tomorrow, it's a home-made Cornish Pasty, a great long chap cut into slices and frozen for a new date with the oven around 12.00noon!
I'm beginning to get the hang of this kitchen lark, but every time I make something from a piece of meat from the freezer, I make far too much, and put back more than was there in the first place..:0~
-
Fish pie with pots and either creamed leeks or sprouts.
It's only recently that I learned that onions/leeks etc., go particularly well with fish!
A tuna and spring onion sandwich is divine, but as Mrs Growster isn't a fan of tuna, it's a rare delicacy, unless I can smuggle a tin in after dark...
-
Prawn salad with ryvitas no pud 2 pieces of toasted currant bread :D, lazy day doing what i wont :D
-
Minted lamb kebabs, with chips, green beans and a dollop of coleslaw :)

My festive eve meal was always fish (either sole, plaice or sea bass) in a white wine sauce with green grapes (a la Veronique) or just try with Hollandaise sauce. Drool! ;)
-
The beef that was too late for yesterdays dinner, mash and the only veggies left which are peas and carrots.
-
Baked Sea Bass with chips and peas, oh having steak pie for a change with chips and peas, fruit strudle for pud with yoghurt :)

Lemon pepper breadcrumbed fish fillet with chips, peas and coleslaw.

Smoked haddock, mash and green beans. One of favourite meals. Morrisons had it on special offer so we got two pieces, one to eat and one to freeze.
-
Beef lasagne with boiled pots and some veg yet to be decided.
-
The rest of the beef - I've managed to get out of sync with the shopping and the spud situation is also looking a bit dire.
-
I've got the slow cooker nearly full with a load of Pinto beans, red pepper, onions, carrots, garlic and a tin of chopped toms - meatballs and some spices, to go in soon. :D

Lemon steamed chicken, roasties ,carrots and swede.

Is that with tinned peaches MrsPea? I saw a recipe the other day for something like that but with raspberries as well for a sort of peach melba flavour. I’ve been holding out on crumble season for a while, but caved in today and have a gooseberry and raspberry one ready to go into the oven.
Just the small matter of the main first, which is hm chicken pie, plot spuds, cabbage and squash. I shall be dozing off later after that lot :lol:
-
Yes it's tin peaches all went down well :)
-
Ended up with beans and chips, thankfully shopping day tomorrow as I couldn't find anything else.

The change of season/weather certainly changes what we want to eat, doesn't it? ::)
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
It was a dreary day to be sure and the idea of pudding floating through my brain, then I read about MrsPea’s peach one and that was it :)
It wasn’t too bad. Pie was a Greek one with filo pastry. The original recipe said poach a whole chicken with 1kg of onions sliced up and then drain and boil down stock. I did it pot roast instead, which was easier. Both shredded chicken and onions go in, plus cooled jellied stock mixed with egg.
1 chicken made 2 pies (1 is in the freezer) and each pie makes 4 servings so very economical, but feels luxurious :)
-
Thanks for reminding me. Have just got the lamb rogan josh from Waitawhile out of the freezer! :ohmy: :)
-
I'm planning on having liver and onions, mash and cabbage. :tongue2: There's a lot of washing up to be done before hand though ::) :nowink:
-
Leftover roast chicken here with roast potatoes,parsnips & a few of the last beetroot I’ve just pulled. There’s mash leftover from yesterday & a few bits of cauliflower,sprouts & carrot that will be added to the freshly cooked carrot & sprouting broccoli I’ve just noticed was going over when I ‘did’ the chickens this evening ! :wacko:

Some more of the sausage and pinto bean Goulash ftf
-
More pie, more plot spuds (mashed this time, plot squash and chard, plus spoon standing.
-
Ham and mushroom tagliatelle.
-
Waitrose lambs liver - 4/10 would not recommend. I may have enjoyed it more though if I hadn't just watched an episode of that documentary about Ed Gein (DO NOT GOOGLE IT).
There's chicken for tonight all this talk of pie is tempting but it's likely I CBA to make one and will end up with a roast chicken diner to use up the bendy fresh carrots.
-
Hot and spicy chicken breast with pilua rice, pineapple and ice cream :)
-
Mince, tomatoes, peppers, onions, peas and potatoes stir-fried with some curry spices. Was a bit hotter than usual but good in spite of that :D Meant I had to have a caramel ice cream cornet for pud :lol:

Home cooked gammon hock with roasties,broccoli,carrots & cheese sauce & for himself baked beans :wacko:

-
Mac cheese tonight with a few peas , pud goodness knows ???
-
Chicken and squash curry with our own squash (Crown Prince) and rainbow chard - Yummy!

I've got a portion of mince defrosting, but still haven't decided what to do with it :wacko:
-
Pasta bake here and a baked fruit pud with a sponge topping. I used my second crop figs and some blueberries I got as a work freebie.
I don’t normally venture much past baked apples or crumbles when it comes to cooked puds, so OH was very happy. It was good … if I say so myself :lol:
-
I've got a portion of mince defrosting, but still haven't decided what to do with it :wacko:
I put it in the frying pan with some finely diced spuds, swede and onion, plenty of S & P and a few green beans. It tasted very much like Cornish past filling :lol:
That's better for when I'm low-carbing ::)
-
Fish pie with boiled pots and broccoli.
-
Second day stew. Cannot decide between a suet crust (oven job) or bread crust (dipping job). Dumplings are out at this stage as the heat required makes the stew stick to the bottom of the pan.
Cheers, Tony.

Lamb shank for me with lots of mint sauce Chicken breast for him roasties broccolli carrots and peas, H/M fruit pie and custard :)
-
Lamb here as well, but grilled chops with peas, swede, mash and spoonstanding :D

I have had a major bout of CBA all day and I can't see that changing, I figure pasta and pesto is about the least amount of effort I can make.
-
Somehow Paul has pulled a muscle in his back and is in agony, at the moment he is fast asleep, so I've suspended the roast chicken, potatoes and veg until tomorrow when hopefully he will be feeling better.
-

-

Battered cod, chips, peas for me and the other half of the carrot for Paul as he can't digest peas!

It’s one of my favourites. I often slow cook a couple of lbs mince & onion & then freeze it in portions. I make it in to various meals then, bolognaise,chilli, pie etc.
-
It’s one of my favourites.
I enjoy it far less with supermarket minced beef :( which really isn't good if you just slow cook it, it just turns to paste. I really should make the time to visit the butchers again.
Probably leftovers today, especially if I keep forgetting to put the chicken in the slow cooker ::)

I buy very little supermarket meat tbh. Mostly it’s from 1 of 2 farm shops I go to. It’s pricey but I adjust quantities to reflect that. Went on Friday & got 2 packs of steak mince, 1.750kg for £19. Divided it up into 9 packs. Each pack will do us both so 18 meals, so just over £1.
-
Daughter & partner coming for dinner later to celebrate hubbys birthday & our wedding anniversary so
Roast beef,potatoes,parsnips. Carrots,peas, cauliflower cheese & oven roasted leeks. Plenty of good beef gravy to drench it in oh & of course Yorkshire puds, of which I will have 1 with gravy to start with.
Then there’s a freshly baked lemon drizzle cake topped with lemoncello,should anyone want any
-
Sweet and sour chicken with rice.

Cottage pie and peas, rest of pud from yesterday Apple and blackberry crumble with tiny ice cream :)

HM sourdough pizza. I made it Saturday after the dough had been rising overnight and put it into the fridge. It held until this evening and then baked perfectly.
Now there is a good trick to remember :)

Very poor quality of chicken thighs this week, by the size you'd think they were actually quail. I'll have to shred what little meat there is off them. The plan for a chicken dinner was ditched and I just spiced up the mince that was left with the half can of baked beans that's always in the fridge and did some oven wedges.
-
Leftovers from yesterday
-
Left-over chicken from last night with creamed leeks and pots.

Have you been to the real butcher yet? Get your coat on & have a brisk walk & bring back some nice supplies, you’ll be more likely to feel like cooking it too if you’ve paid more for it ;) . Get a bulk of braising steak or mince & make yourself a batch of pies for the freezer…goon you know it makes sense :)
-
If I CBA to make pastry what on earth makes you think I can be bothered to do that :lol:
Joking aside I've found a butcher locally who will deliver and has an online shop, I may take a drive out to get a selection of stuff to try as the one I was using isn't local to me.
-
HM chicken pie from out of the freezer (sorry Lardman), plus spuds, carrots and cabbage.

I made a batch of sultana scones this afternoon (it made the kitchen lovely and warm :)) and have, of course, eaten more than a couple :blush:
So Leek & potato cup a soup for tea... :D

Rub it in why don't you. I had planned to get off my lazy posterior and do a chicken, mushroom and chorizo pie this morning after finding John Kirkwood's youtube of one, but I was side tracked and I need to sort some stuff out for work this afternoon. I'll be having a leftovers again as that's quick and easy.
-
I loaded the slow-cooker up when I saw the heavy frost this morning. So a couple of small lamb chops and lots of fresh & dried veg are slowly simmering away. The kitchen smells lovely now :D
-
Meatballs in a tomato and onion sauce over pasta, with cheese on top of course.

Scones yesterday and lamb stew today … I have serious delicious kitchen smell envy :lol:
We had tray bake today with spuds, various veg and small second crop figs and then chilli oil and bits of both ham and mozzerello cheese over it for the last 5 minutes. Crusty bread to eat it with :)
-
We had Ham egg and chips tonight plus a few bake beans that were kicking around , rest of pineapple and yoghurt.
I've also been busy cooking this afternoon, Fish pie for tromorrow night, beef casserole for sunday. Tray of mince pies and some rock cakes :D
-
Oven baked cod with hm oven chips, mushy peas.

Spag bol.

Babysitting the munchkins this evening so I’ll take mine with me and have after they’re all in bed, fingers crossed I’ll get it before my son comes home :lol: - a turkey curry ftf with a packet of microwave rice, might even muster up a couple of puppadums
-
I've taken some fish pie mix out to defrost for .... a fish pie. I'll see what I can find in the way of veggies later.

What a surprise Lardman :lol: :lol:
I've taken a sea bass out of the freezer, chips and peas, plus a dollop of coleslaw will go with it.

A little change to the above, found a dish of cold cooked rice & some veg in the fridge so will use that up instead of the packet of rice…waste not want not.
-
Fish fingers and chips, basic, plain but we've both had a stomach upset this week so haven't had anything too exciting.
-
Homemade Fish pie and peas, afters a warm cheese scone :D
-
Beef in black bean sauce with rice.
-
Soup weather! I had a big pack of ham trim in the freezer (work freebie), so dragged that out, together with some sourdough red pesto and cheese bread I made a week or so ago.
The soup is a thick and chunky Italian inspired one, with veg, tomatoes, shelling beans from the plot and the chopped up ham. I also took out a couple of ‘ice cubes’ of greenhouse basil chopped in olive oil and added them at the end.
It can sit and all the ingredients can get to know each other for the day, before I re-heat it tonight :)

I'm sure they'll all be best of friends and your kitchen aroma will rival that of MoS.
I'm on leftover fish pie - my kitchen doesn't smell so good :lol: It made a nice change yesterday, even though I don't like fish. I wont be following the recipe again though, nowhere near enough mash spud to cover the sauce and it really needed some sliced boiled eggs in it like Mother Lard used to do.
-
I like eggs in fish pie as well. OH had never had that before and was dubious the first time it appeared on his plate, but they go so well with smoked fish.
He misses the eggs now if I leave them out and feels hard done by ::) :lol:
-
I too also put eggs in my fish pie, together with spinach. I'll always remember my four year old grandaughter eating our fish pie and saying 'this is the best thing I've ever eaten, I don't know why they don't give it to me at home'. The look on Claire's face was priceless! Both Claire and Pete (her parents) have four years training as pastry chefs on their cv's.

Well that went well….turned out to be a chilli, so was a tad odd with sliced banana,mango chutney & puppadums, didn’t realise til I tasted it :wacko: then checked the label, but that was what I’d taken so that’s what it had to be.
Tonight
Tough sirloin steak from the farm shop :( lyonnaise potatoes, peas, carrots & broccoli, fried mushrooms, but I was just too tired & unlike me left half of it.
-
Prawn Masala with mangoes and rice a la Waitawhile.
-
Well that went well….turned out to be a chilli, so was a tad odd with sliced banana,mango chutney & puppadums,
Nope - definitely not. Id hazard a guess that was more than a tad odd !
I have curry munchies but it's pork chops today and given the weather mash, mixed veggies and spoonstanding will also be required.
-
Beef casserole with dumplings and fresh veg , Apple strudle f/f with custard :)
-
Lardman: it's pork chops today and given the weather mash, mixed veggies and spoonstanding will also be required.
Same! The chop is defrosting atm ;)
-
Rst chicken, rst potatoes, swede and ratatouille from a tin. I'm going through a 'can't eat' phase' which I do every now and again. Paul's used to it, and doesn't force me to eat as he knows in two or three days I'll over eat. I can't help it.
-
Chicken pieces in a tomato,onion & garlic sauce with gnocchi for himself & penne pasta with a side of cauliflower & broccoli for me. With a good sprinkling of Parmesan for us both.
-
Ham hock and mushroom tagliatelle.
-
Leftover pork chop - by the time they were defrosted and cooked they were more like schnitzel than chops.
-
Sorting the freezer to free up space for December's 'special' delivery, I found a small individual beef pie, So I'll have that with some mixed veg. I've run out of potatoes, and I'm not going out in the rain ::) so I'll use some of my 'emergency' instant mash.
Spoon-standing will improve all of it :D :D
-
I found some turkey burgers leaking in freezer i also need to sort mine out, not for Christmas as we dont celebrate
for various reasons I'm not a happy bunny this time of year infact ' I'M A BAR HUMBUG '
-
Chicken chow mien with rice.

This was in slices & roasted then turned over before being covered in breadcrumbs,Parmesan,lemon juice & parsley, really nice
-
Cottage pie with pots and carrots.
-
Soddages and hm potato and veg cakes. I will find some extra green veg for the plates as well and spoon standing will be making an appearance. It is damp and dismal outside today and a gravy dinner is needed.
-
We're with GG and the cottage pie, contains all those odd bits and pieces that seem to collect in the bottom of the fridge. As Newshoot says, we need comfort food today, although they said it's getting milder, it doesn't feel like it.
-
pire pire chicken stripes with pilua rice, it was a bit too hot for either of us never mind we eat it.
picklets for afters :)
-
75% of a packet of digestive biscuits - which has left me feeling sick as a pig.

Why did you eat that many ?? were they chocolate ones :ohmy:
-
Beef Lasagne with pots and carrots.
-
Why did you eat that many ?? were they chocolate ones :ohmy:
I didn't want to be bothered making dinner after spending the day doing my tax return, they weren't even the chocolate ones.
Chilli and probably rice tonight although there are a few decent sized spuds I might nuke and have jacket instead.
-
Lasagne with green beans on the side ;)
-
Cheese and ham omelette with chopped up potatoes and peas, NO pud but a warm cheese scone :)

The other half today :)

Dunno with pots and veg.

Dunno with pots and veg.
I like that, slow cooked and covered with a thick gravy :)
Chicken that needs using it's heading off to the slow cooker in a bit, probably end up heavily spiced as I'm coming down with man flu.
-
You'll be very relieved to know that there is now a recognised 'disease' called man flu, Scientists have studied it and decided that it does exist. I bet all the Scientists were men and never consulted a female on their findings. :D
-
Haddock in bread crumbs with peas and green beans, chocolate buttons and walnuts afterwards (that's why I didn't have any chips with the fish ::))
-
Ham and chicken pasta bake from the freezer. Busy day looking at bathroom stuff. OH reckons he is fitting it himself, so not sure whether to be excited about a new bathroom or terrified :unsure: :lol:
-
not sure whether to be excited about a new bathroom or terrified :unsure: :lol:
That really depends on if it's the only toilet in the house :D

Pork chop traybake, onions, tomatoes, peppers and spuds - few french beans to some greenery :)
-
H/M Chilli last night with pilua rice, tonight Pork Faggots with new pots and fresh veg, followed by H/M peach tart with yoghurt. :)
-
An unsatisfying, despite it's size chicken dinner. I've already had cheese and crackers but I'm still not satisfied, something was missing. I should have made a pudding, something covered in custard given the weather.
-
Scotch eggs with pots, veg and coleslaw.
-
We are having a slow food day here. I had a couple of slices of belly pork left over from a recipe. The rest is in the freezer already cubed and marinated ready to go into a curry I want to try. These extra slices were also cubed and marinated overnight, but in garlic, chilli and herbs.
The pork, a couple of tins of chilli beans, some casserole veg starter base I made in bulk and froze tubs of, home dried tomatoes and mushrooms, a tin of tomatoes, more chilli, garlic, herbs and tomato purée are in the slow cooker blipping away. I’ve also made sourdough this morning with chilli and herbs and that is rising slowly but surely. I had leftover cabbage and carrots, so those are shredded in a bowl in the fridge with some chervil from the greenhouse and some home dried mint and will be made into a salad later.
The beans and bread will be more than enough to spit and freeze a fair bit for 1 or 2 more meals. I feel the warm glow of frugality, not wasting anything and the promise of a good meal later for not a lot of effort on my part :)
-
It's a quilting day here, so tuna & sweetcorn in chilli mayo on a jacket potato with the usual dollop of coleslaw - easy-peasy :)
-
Apparently we are making lasagne. Paul's just arrived home with the makings thereof as he has decided that's what we're having.
-
There's chicken, chilli and mince beef & onions all cooked in the fridge and I have no idea what to do with any of it. :blush: 2 out of 3 will go with rice, so I suppose that's a start.
-
Eating up odds and sods before we going shopping again for the last time before Christmas.
Sausage bacon b/b an egg and chips , rest of fruit flan all gone, it went down well. ;)
-
Fish pie with pots and veg.
-
Roast pork & all the trimmings
-
Got a zip bag out of the freezer that's labelled 'beef' doesn't look like mince, prob stewing steak. Whatever it is it's getting curried, to go with veggie rice and salad bits.
-
I'm having cauli cheese and Paul's got a gammon steak (can't stand gammon personally but he likes it).
-
Something with the mince beef - I feel I should do a cottage pie but it would be easier just to add pasta and a tin of tomatoes.
-
Burger in a bun with salad , pineapple and yoghurt ;)
Yes we went shopping NEVER again it was packed, thats it till after Christmas what we haven't got we shall go with out :)

I'm out for dinner tonight :D

Probably tuna pasta bake. I need to sort out the freezer, although it's full there doesn't appear to be anything to eat in it.
-
Hubby has man flu “and hasn’t got an appetite “ :unsure:
So he’s having the remaining chicken stew from last night he made as I was out and I’m going to make myself a spicy stir fry with noodles and the leftover pork from Tuesday rather than rehash it as roast dinner :D
-
Ham and cheese quiche with pots and carrots.
-
Hubby has man flu “and hasn’t got an appetite “ :unsure:
Poor bloke, he obviously needs lots of TLC as a result.

-
Baked plaice here with the usual suspects I suppose :)
-
Chicken Kiev, two reduced to 75p in Tesco yesterday, served with chips. £1 I would guess for a meal for the two of us. We always eat very plainly in the run up to Christmas and try to use up stuff or have basic meals so the 'posh stuff' we have over the holiday tastes better. :lol:
-
Sweet and sour chicken dish spiced up with pilua rice and 1/2 a baghette each ;)

Salmn fishcake with pots and carrots or sweetcorn.
-
Pork chop with veg left over from yesterday.
-
No clue , which usually means leaving it really late and then just doing pasta and pesto.
-
Mmmmmm pasta…
I have done my usual mistake of following some heavy going days at job no.2 lunking stock around with a big day in the garden. The up side was I got a lot of autumn clear up done that was postponed by rain and was becoming desperate. I also had a few violas and primroses that I had bought for winter colour and they got potted up in containers.
The down side was I was completely knackered by the end of it and so have cooked (and eaten) a huge pile of pasta. I can feel the carb coma gently enveloping me :lol:
It was sweet leek carbonara which is a Jamie Oliver one. Slow cooked shredded leeks with herbs and garlic, the usual egg and cheese sauce, no bacon and a huge pile of spag - heaven :)
-
Well following my comment earlier about avoiding roast dinners, we had today roast pork loin slices, roast potatoes & parsnips, steamed cauliflower,carrots & peas, apple sauce,stuffing & gravy :D
I wasn’t the chef tonight :lol:
-

Sounds nice, but feels like a whole lot'a effort - I just poured a jar of red pepper pesto over a pan full of fusilli and then tipped a tin of tuna into it.
-
I put chorizo and a couple of tins of different beans in the slow cooker mid morning, planning on doing some mash later.
-
I put some pinto beans, carrots, swede, onion, potato, sad red pepper and mince in the slow-cooker, the bag of mince seemed to have less than the usual in it :unsure: so added some soya mince as well. Couple of oxos and some mixed herbs - sorted!
-
Jacket potato with a mixed salad and cold meats, Apple and blackberry crumble with tiny ice cream or crem fresh ;)

-
Last night's prawn bhuna as I didn't feel hungry.
-
Fried cod, mash, peas & cheese sauce
-
Wet mince and new pots, fruit yoghurt, No dout nibbles tonight :)

Quick tea all prepped up in advance and chucked in the oven to bake. It was chicken thighs, mashed potatoes to reheat and some roasted carrots.

A Ginster's pasty (ran out of HM) with some salad bits

Pork pie or homemade pannetonne ? Did you make one this year, if so how did it go? Just been looking up recipes after we’ve had a slice for breakfast?
-
No tea yesterday,we had dinner between 2.30- starter and dinner at 4 ish, pud at about 6:30 - well 2 of us :mad: so no tea required.

I used James Martin's mini Panettone recipe and they were lush, much easier than trying to make the big size, tbh!

-
Cold turkey and trimings with a mixed salad, rest of Apple pie left over from other day with ice cream.
Curry yesturday was great with all the bits and pieces :)
-
Spag bol from the indoor freezer as I'm certainly not going outside to the garage in all the winds and heavy rain.
-
More bits and pieces of whatever I can eat (see the food waste thread to see why). I've planned for this and ticked items off as we got them . I can't even eat a crisp! We have some hummus and sour cream dip left and I can manage them and can suck on Cheeselets but anything hard is out of the question.
-
More of the Christmas roast beef with roast potatoes & parsnips, Yorkshire puds ftf (made by hubby for Christmas day in advance but not considered up to scratch :wacko ) lots of lovely gravy, sprouts,broccoli,carrots & peas. Mince pies for afters
-
Rest of the turkey heated up with roosties and fresh veg broccolli carrots and peas and a bit of sausage stuffing plus spoon standing. :) No pud cheese and biscuits later :)
-
I had cold lamb and a plate of salad for tea.
The rest of the lamb is now in the slow-cooker, with more veg, slowly bubbling away...it'll probably end up in the freezer because I really won't fancy eating it for days on end :wacko:
-

Hope you're feeling better soon, wighty. That sounds miserable :ohmy:
-
As the swelling has gone down I've eaten some solid food today, ham and mushroom pie has been made, with new potatoes and carrots. All pretty soft, but filling as I am finally feeling hungry. The Dentist from the 111 service phoned today and we've made another trip to Newport to collect a prescription for some antibiotics. The rest of the ham has been portioned and in the freezer and I sat and watched the BFG while peeling carrots, parsnips, sprouts and slicing peppers and their now all in the freezer for future use. The smoked mackeral pate I made has been portioned up and in the freezer. Tomorrow we will have to eat the rest of the smoked salmon and prawns with some salad as we obviously can't freeze them. :D
-
As the swelling has gone down I've eaten some solid food today,
Dental pain is no fun at all, especially this time of year.
I needed to use some eggs up at they were past their use by so I'm still stuffed from scrambled egg at lunch, but I've put some southern style beef rump (whatever that is) in the slow cooker, it's been hanging around in the freezer since 2021 so about time I used it - I'm sure it will be fine :ohmy: .

-
Spag bol tonight, H/M trifle which didn't get eaten ;)
-
Oven baked cod with lyonnaise potatoes with added red pepper, carrots,peas,broccoli,bread & butterfrom a freshly baked loaf for himself. Just about to have some cheese & biscuits with grapes & apple oh & homemade membrillo.
-
I had a couple of small packs of caramelised onion cocktail sausages as a freebie from work, so turned them into toad in the hole. It was different but somehow better than just using normal sized sausages. Every bite was a mix of the batter pudding and the sausages, rather than one or the other.
That makes no sense, but I know what I mean :lol:
We had roasted carrots, some cauliflower and spoon standing with it :)
-
Fish pie with pots and carrots.
-
Jacket potatoes with cheese, coleslaw and some odds and ends we've found in the fridge. I'm really looking forward to some 'ordinary food' soon.
