What are you eating today?

[Gruney]

Chille con carne tonight. This is the recipe I use -it suits me down to the ground - https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/beef ... arne_92275

[Suffs]

Looks a good one Gruney

Yesterday’s supper was hake fillets and oven chips and peas … OH didn’t know what time he’d be back .., in the end he texted me at 6:30 to say he’d he back in about 20 mins so I popped it in the oven then
… he’s always ravenous when he gets back.

Cod topped with pesto and breadcrumbs, and a huge salad.

[Suffs]

Salmon with noodles and stir fried veg

[Stokey Sue]

A Crosta & Mollica pizza with some extra toppings last night, nothing the night before, on the dodgy teeth and tum induced reducing diet.

I had a 'Mexican breakfast' in a cafe: spicy black beans with (entirely set) poached eggs, a thimble or two each of guacamole, and what tasted a bit like mango chutney, toast. It was ok. The cafe was attractive though. I then had a slice of quite plain vegan cake. Tasted a bit carrot cakey.

'Dinner' was two slices of bread and very treacly home made marmalade.

[Stokey Sue]

I made a cottage pie last night from beef mince. Had steamed broccoli with it.

As I mentioned on another thread, I used Morrisons frozen Base Mix diced onion, carrot and celery, very good. The friend who told me about it said Waitrose call theirs Sofrito but she thinks Morrisons is slightly nicer and cheaper.

I had a mushroom omelette for lunch made with frozen sliced mushrooms. Also good.

[herbidacious]

I made a Thai-style green curry with mushrooms, tofu, cashew nuts and peas. I had a bowl of that for dinner, then some little tiramisu ice cream thing from Lidl.

Lunch was a brown pitta bread with melted Maasdam cheese and then christmas cake.

That's quite a lot of food for me...

[Amber]

Thai salmon traybake here. So very very easy.

[Earthmaiden]

Salmon stir fry here. Also easy!

[Suffs]

Chicken, tarragon and leek pie (see baking thread) made with the second half of Sunday’s roast chicken. It was very tasty. We had it with frozen peas (we rarely eat potatoes if eating pastry).

[KeenCook]

Your pie looks stunning, Suffs!

More chicken here, a T & T traybake: https://downshiftology.com/recipes/gree ... n-chicken/

[Earthmaiden]

Chicken here too. Because I had to meet GD from school later than usual I put it on to roast with potatoes round it and just had to cook veggies when we got in.

Lots of chicken left to eat and freeze and then a carcass for nice stock.

[Suffs]

Smoked mackerel, baby leaf salad, lightly pickled red onion and beetroot, and homemade potato salad with capers.

[Stokey Sue]

My sour chickpea curry from the freezer, rice, a cauliflower greens thoran, raita.
Stuffed, I’ve left a lot of the rice.

[Amber]

Delias Basque.

It’s so much easier these days, when I can use a small pack of sun-dried tomatoes from Tesco, and a small pack of chopped chorizo from Sainsbury’s. Both a perfect size for two people.

And I add a large tin of butter beans too. Tasty.


BTW I thought I’d bought chicken thighs today, but when I looked at the label, they’re actually boneless chicken drum sticks. I’ve never seen them before, has everyone else?

[scullion]

chilli and rice followed by home made mango sorbet (recipe in ice cream thread).

[Suffs]

I’ve been out all day helping DS … when I cam home OH served me a supper of a buttery jacket potato, a smoked gammon steak and baked beans. Just what I needed.

[Stokey Sue]

Today was black bean chilli with a sweet potato

Yesterday the second piece of the sea bass recipe from Falastin, which I saved the sauce and spice rub for a few weeks ago

OH was singing at Southwark Cathedral at the weekend, so she popped into Neals Yard Dairy next door. She got some Corscombe cheese. It's very nice. I may even prefer it to my "favourite cheese" Tunworth. We have had it for lunch over two days.
