Roast butternut squash stuffed with spiced cous cous plus beetroot and salad.
Sounds lovely - thanks for the idea.I'll be cooking parcel baked chicken breasts, which are marinating in a lush smelling spice mix. With roasted celeriac chips/wedges and red cabbage, maybe coleslaw

Fingers crossed I'll have some appetite by tonight.

it has no tomato in it! my boyfriend can't eat tomatoes or dairy so regular pasta sauces are generally out for him. So I made a special sauce just for him with roasted red peppers, red onions, garlic, chilli and olive oil.... it's quite nice - and peppers are cheaper here in Germany than in the UK so it's not completely prohibitively expensive either, which is nice...
it's really easy to - just bung it all in the oven with plenty of olive oil, then whizz it all up with a blender add whatever 'erbs etc you fancy and off you go!Ooo that sounds lovely, I might have to give that a go.
Thanks for the idea - I'd have to replace the red onion (probably extra garlic, carrot, and celery), but roasting the lot in the oven and then blitzing it would save a bit of standing & stirring time.it has no tomato in it! my boyfriend can't eat tomatoes or dairy so regular pasta sauces are generally out for him.

Welcome it's a great way to cook chicken, you can pick whichever flavours you like and it always comes out moist (or do you mean the celeriac chips... I forget if you're veggie, sorry)Sounds lovely - thanks for the idea.
Yep, tin foil parcels, so I guess they're more steamed than baked, but they are always really moist. You don't get crispy roast chicken skin, but I generally use skinless portions, and I don't like chicken skin. I'm not physically hungry either, hoping boxing tonight will help.Ooh, do you put them in little tin-foil parcels? Hope all the yummy smells tempt your appetite back, it's really weird being physically hungry but not actually fancying putting stuff into your mouth, I hate it.
FWIW not veggie, and I liked the foil parcel idea with the chicken, but it was the celeriac chips one which had me wondering why I hadn't thought of it before.Welcome it's a great way to cook chicken, you can pick whichever flavours you like and it always comes out moist (or do you mean the celeriac chips...

I will remember that now, makes a difference when making suggestionsFWIW not veggie, and I liked the foil parcel idea with the chicken, but it was the celeriac chips one which had me wondering why I hadn't thought of it before.
*moist* x
Don't worry - happy to eat veggie food without feeling deprived - some of it's cheaper. And I prefer it to really bad meat.I will remember that now, makes a difference when making suggestions
Personally I'd leave the dhal, and mayo for another day. Or have just the baked spud, cheese, dhal and maybe a bit of chilli sauce. But too much of a good thing is sometimes just too much.Baked spud, cheese, beans, chilli sauce, mayo. I also have some daal in the fridge which I might chuck on it, which could be great or vomtastic.
Okay, you're the person eating it. Just don't expect not to be met with a "told you so" chorus if it turns out to be vomtastic.You lot know nothing. It's a winner.
