What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

Sausages, buttery mash, carrots, broccoli, peas, gravy from scratch, fried onions for himself. I am tempted to make a small portion of batter pudding just for myself as I have been craving it. My family are wronguns, as neither Himself or the small like yorkies as much as I do, so no point in making lots.

Live a little and make yourself some yorkies - they freeze well so you can cook a load and just bung the ones you don't need right now in the freezer (once they are cooked and have cooled)- reheat frozen ones at a future date when needed for 4 or 5 minutes on 220C

 

[Epona]

My other tip for today is that you can make sage & onion or other veggie stuffing mix from a packet, form it into balls and put them on baking parchment on a baking tray in the freezer, once frozen you can pick them off and put them in a freezer bag or other freezer container and they will be good to cook from frozen for a few months.

When you come to cook them, add 10 minutes to the baking time on the pack to do them from frozen - so around 35-40 minutes for cooking pre-prepped and frozen sage & onion stuffing balls. No need to waste stuffing or go without just because you aren't feeding 6+ people

I love sage and onion stuffing, I just wish it loved me back

I'm OK with it, there are some things that I really cannot handle (wholemeal bread) but sage and onion stuffing is thankfully something I can cope with - it does cause some considerable wind though!

The reason that I used that as an example is cos I don't know that it would be safe to use that method of prepping and freezing a pork-based stuffing, but with any veggie one the above method will be fine

Oh god stuffing and mayonnaise sarnies are the best

Sorry that you can't do that.

Tbh I often spend nights trying to get comfy while my stomach makes things difficult due to acid reflux

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Either vegetables or cheese on toasted bagels - will decide later.

 

[Maggot]

Ribollita, the cannellini beans are soaking now.

 

[onenameshelley]

I made a single fat bastard yorkshire pudding, all for me. it's definitely more Yorkshire pudding than batter as there is a rise.

 

[moonsi til]

Herby feta mashed potato with harissa lentil ragu.

 

[weltweit]

Sausages with English mustard and cauliflower.
Followed by cherry yogurt.

 

[moose]

'Pan-fried' (god, I hate myself) gnocchi with tomato, chilli, broccoli, pine kernels and parmesan.

Cherry ice cream and a Flake!

 

[The39thStep]

Caldo Verde - which is a simple and delicious Portuguese soup. Onion, chicken stock cube , onion , garlic , white pepper , a few herbs and diced potatoes and chouriço . Simmer till everything is soft , mash up or disintegrate the potatoes to thicken then add very finely sliced kale or cabbage . Simmer for another 15 mins and get the bread out .

 

[onenameshelley]

Tonight is roasted veggie rice, the quorn and cheese escalops I got for free the other day. It might be a bit dry so am thinking maybe some tinned tomatoes.

 

[Elpenor]

Toad in the hole I think.

 

[MrCurry]

We are having enchiladas tonight apparently. This is quite exciting as I’ve never had them before (as far as I know/recall) and am not even sure what they are, so I’m staying away from google and just waiting to be surprised

 

[Elpenor]

Toad in the hole I think.

This is now subject to the power cut at home being resolved, and the state of my fridge and freezer when I get home from work.

 

[sojourner]

The drawers on both will be shut so you should be reet Elpenor

 

[sojourner]

We're on baked spuz, cheez and beanz, with lashings of hot sauce and Reggae Reggae sauce.

And inspired by Voley 's previous teas, sticky toffee pudding and vanilla custard for afters. Licking my lips already

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Last night was mushroom, pesto, spaghetti. Not sure what I will make tonight.

Power back on, but as I’ve come into the office and will be back late I will opt for something quicker as not had time to make the batter.

 

[nottsgirl]

Spaghetti al limone.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Irish stew in the slow cooker

 

[weltweit]

The trouble with living and cooking solo is that now I have more sausages and much more cauliflower and might have to repeat yesterday's dinner sooner than I might have liked.

 

[nottsgirl]

Actual tea a boiled egg with mustard mayonnaise from the Coop, leftover broccoli and carrots and a cheese sandwich.

 

[quiet guy]

[RubyToogood]

Tin of broccoli and pea soup, cheese on toast with a layer of chutney under the cheese.

My diet is fairly rubbish at the mo, still not really up to chopping up lots of veg.
