    What are you having for dinner - I need ideas please

    For the first time in my life I have been home and cooking the evening meal each night. I am completely out of ideas.

    I know you guys can inspire me with something

    Re: What are you having for dinner - I need ideas please

    tonight my children are having fish and chips - not very healthy I know but I've got friends round for a takeaway later and DH is out for the evening.
    but this week we've had
    • good ol' bolognaise yesterday (kids love parmesan);
    • we had kedgeree (you know rice and onion and smoked haddock and boiled eggs, lots of butter, parsley and lemon juice with a bit of curry powder - a bit like a risotte, and we had corn on the cob on the side)
    • my kids love stir fry - I do quorn pieces with broccoli and baby corn and just make up 'sauce' from garlic, ginger, soy sauce
    • tomorrow we're having risotto with chicken stock and chicken pieces in the oven with honey, lemon and a bit of mustard
    • saturday we're having salmon pieces and new potatoes and some veg
    I love food....

    Re: What are you having for dinner - I need ideas please

    Last night I had peppered steak slice (it was reduced in Morrisons) and chips

    Night before was chips and beans with the little sausages in

    chips and gravy, couldn't be bothered that night lol.

    Sausage and chips.

    Egg and chips.

    Yes, I do have a lot of chips lol, but as there is only me, it is easier, and they are frozen so stay fresh longer than potatoes would.

    Re: What are you having for dinner - I need ideas please

    I made a fdish pie last night, with pieces of cod reduced in Morrisons, leeks, mushrooms, cream and fish stock cubes, topped with thinly sliced boiled potatoes and cheese. Was very nice.

    I also like easy peasy carbonara:

    Bacon (chopped) and mushrooms fried,
    Garlic and herb philly whisked into eggs, pour over bacon and mushrooms, stir until thick and creamy (no more than 3-5 mins), stir in some cooked pasta, yummy and super quick!
