As it's pretty autumnal today I think we're going to have shepherdess pie tonight.

**lollyfin** Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:59 pm

we are having a sausage casserole
got the recipe from MSE and its lovely but havent had it for ages

**froogs** Mon Sep 05, 2011 8:36 pm

We're having chorizo burgers, coleslaw and boiled potatoes basically because there is nothing else before I go shopping later.

Oooh chorizo burgers sound yummy - do tell all froogs! We're having the regulation kind as got some mince to use up before the shopping comes tomorrow and got no room in the freezer. Will just be flavouring ours with mustard seeds, a little cumin and cayenne pepper along with the chopped onions and parsley i put in. Going a bit 'out there' with sweet potato chips to go with it and some salad stuff out of the garden.

Thought I'd bump this up to get some ideas for the menu plan!

Last night we had pizza which was very nice. today we're having our cooked meal at lunchtime and we're having lentil bol with apple & cherry crumble for afters. What about you?

Today we are having a roast chicken dinner with all the extras yummy

dolly blue Sun Sep 18, 2011 10:33 pm

I'm chopping up chicken for the freezer, I might make stock, soup with the bits and bones.
Loads of things need eating out of the fridge so Ds can raid that if he doesn't fancy soup when in from work, I'm not sure what time he's back and if he is eating at home.
Cooked like a mad women the last few weeks Dd came home and her Bf came for a week so I'm all cooked out

tonight we're having cottage pie, Oliver style. this is without mash. hubby hates mash, and i dislike mash on cottage pie so i make a cottage pie filling and normally top it with sliced potatoes, but I had some leftover ods and ends of puff pastry today so I've mde little tirangle pillows and arranged them over the top of the slightly firmer than usual filling. experimental cooking FTW!

That sounds really good. Although I love pastry so it's rarely the wrong option imo!

Yesterday was tuna baked potatoes and salad - with DH on call we never know when or if he's going to make it home so I always do something that won't spoil if sitting around for hours (or left until the next days dinner).

Today he's on call again so I've taken a single portion of Prawn Biryani out of the freezer. I'll have a YS turkey breast slice and salad (diet diet diet! )

I'm currently writing up the menu plan for next week. Trying to be a bit adventurous.

Not sure what we're having tonight. We're having chilli for lunch so I don't want anything beany... Totally stumped! Think I need a menu plan as I'm grinding to a halt Shocked

**lollyfin** Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:44 pm

What about a nice thick soup and dumplings alec
I am making soup just now and it smells lovely. Tonight we are having hm curry, rice and onion rings i like something crunchy with curry, i will admit to that being a packet of crisps at times Embarassed

alec eiffel Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:46 pm

I have a nice recipe for easy baked onion bhajis somewhere I'll dig it out if you're interested.

Hmmm, soup is good. Dan does like soup and a sandwich, I have to make some houmous anyway so roast veg soup with pasta bits and a houmous sarnie could be good... thanks!

**lollyfin** Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:50 pm

I would love the recipe thanks
I have never made them before because i always thought they would be really difficult...im not sure where i got that idea tho!

alec eiffel Mon Sep 19, 2011 9:08 pm

I've put it in the recipe thread. They're really simple to make and well worth it.

flibsey Mon Sep 19, 2011 9:45 pm

dinner tonight for us was going to be lamb koftas, but I forgot the corriandar leaf and don't know if ground corriandar seed will taste as good! so I need to use minced lamb.

alec eiffel Mon Sep 19, 2011 9:47 pm

I have used ground coriander in nut koftas before. It's more earthy and less... whatever that taste coriander has is, but they should still be fine.

flibsey Mon Sep 19, 2011 10:01 pm

thanks!
