What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Mrs Miggins]

Mushroom and pea egg fried rice. Lush and ready in 15 minutes.

A couple of squares of Lindt mint chocolate for afters and a cheeky cup of cocoa because I felt a bit cold.

Thats handy, as we're having tagliatelle with what I suspect will be a rather underwhelming aubergine, courgette and sun dried tomato sauce.

Actually the sauce was much better than I expected - it was this one, although I didn't bother with the nutritional yeast as I don't have any.

Sun Dried Tomato Ragu With Aubergine and Courgette

A rich and salty aubergine and courgette pasta - what could be better? This 25 minute recipe is super quick and packs a ton of flavour.

Penne pasta, bacon and sweetcorn in a creme fraische sauce.

Himself is having a pork loin chop with a mini gratin and brocoli. The small has asked for alphabites and macaroni cheese for her dinner, I shall just have macaroni as I don't think I can cope with double carbs, at that sort of level.

 

[BoatieBird]

I've been a bit short on cooking mojo recently so I got a Hello Fresh box this week.
Yesterday we had yellow Thai style cod curry (delicious 4.5/5) and tonight we've got pan-fried pork loin with creamy potato and spinach salad.

No need to apologise, you're bang on there. It tasted nice enough but I only had a bit just because of what it looked like. Top tip: don't put purple carrots in mash!

I gave someone some rainbow carrots and beetroot the other week and the purples and oranges ended up bright red after it'd all been roasted and boiled and blended into soup. Tasted nice but the fact it was bright red but didn't taste of tomato was a bit of a headfuck.

 

[han]

Got a nasty cough so gonna have a really spicy Thai soup tonight with lots of ginger and chillies. Hopefully that'll help ease the cough a bit. Just had cheese'n'beans on toast with cheese.

 

[Elpenor]

Finally cooking the steak fajitas. Bit concerned my mushrooms might be on the turn though.

 

[Badgers]

Pasta.

Italian neighbour made me a batch of 'his special recipe' tomato sauce. So that with whatever pasta or bits are at home.

 

[sojourner]

Really need to use this veg now, so it's Linda Mc country pies, buttery mashed spuds, fine green beans, carrots, and caramelised onion gravy.

Last of last week's flapjacks.

With tortillas or marrow?

With tortillas or marrow?

With neither as trying to cut down carbs

Thai Chicken Curry tonight, Mrs N is having Lasagne.
Obvs bread to help soak up the sauce. Fab for desert.

 

[May Kasahara]

Bubble and squeak with veggie sausages. The boy will have southern fried chicken strops and chips.

Strops?

 

[May Kasahara]

Strops?

I mistyped 'strips' on here a while ago and sheothebudworths liked it so much we decided they had to be strops forever.

 

[moose]

Walnut and pear leafy salad with a mustardy dressing. Fat slab of the sourdough that's just come out of the oven.

That is very good

I like that! I love how well so many of us on here know each other.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheshire cheese and pickled onions.

 

[Orang Utan]

Mushroom, red pepper, rosemary and rice one pot thingy

 

[Elpenor]

So not fajitas then?

You’ll be pleased to hear that I didn’t add any fajita mix (which is what I define as making it fajitas) tonight and chucked in some bbq sauce instead.

 

[Skim]

Three fish fingers, two little jacket potatoes, lashings of Vitalite. Boring, but tasty.

 

[Epona]

I'm turning the remains of last night's chicken stir fry into fajitas

(Have 2 flour tortillas and will add spices to the chicken and veggies - paprika, chilli powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, also have sour cream and guacamole and cheese which will get involved)

I’m glad your fajitas meet with approval and aren’t challenged

I never have the accompaniments much as I like them - too many calories

I love the accompaniments - the issue here is that the flour tortillas were on offer if I bought 2 packs, which of course I did - 16 tortillas means we've had a lot of fajitas lately. I'm having the last 2 of those tonight and am going to defrost some prawns and prep some veg and get it all coated in my spice mix for OH to have with the leftover taco shells when he gets home from work in the morning He's always knackered when he gets in so having something prepped that he can fry up quickly and have with a can of beer before collapsing into bed it helps - and we have leftover refried beans, guacamole, 2 types of salsa and sour cream - so it's the makings of a good meal for both of us, quickly cooked, at different times with really only 1 lot of of prep.

I do love fajitas but I am feeling a bit fajita'd out atm, probably won't have them for a while after this, it's been fajita fortnight here for sure.
