Had 2 bananas :ermm: We went out for lunch and I had a huge fish, chips, mushy peas and bread & butter:pig: still not hungry. Kids had pasta, tomato and veg sauce with hotdogs in and cheese. The sauce was some ratatouille I made pureed. We will have the rest with lemon and pepper tuna steaks...

We had breakfast for dinner as I keep seeing it on here and thinking it sounds good. Bacon, egg, baked beans, sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes and some tiger bread we picked up today. It was fab. I unsettled my dh as we went to the supermarket with no mealplan and just bought nice looking stuff...

Indian takeaway - chicken pathia and saag aloo (potatoes and spinach), poppadums and mango chutney on the side. Really got my appetite back and looking forward to it.

Do you have a sausage horn or similar for filling the sausages?

Have been ill for a while and starting to get my appetite back so am making Chicken in bbq sauce with bacon Paprika potatoes (diced potatoes roasted with paprika and oregano) Garlic mushrooms Rocket (arugula) salad with balsamic dressing Basic but tasty :yum:

We had Spanish style beef stewed with port (Claudia Roden recipe) with very peppery (black pepper) potato boulangerie. There was leeks/onions/carrots/peppers/tomato in the stew so I didn't do any veg on the side. Nice but a bit sweet for me, will use the combination of veg again but use red...

we're having a 'mum can't be bothered' dinner. So pork chop, tiger bread a friend baked and salad (I'll be having rocket and parmesan salad with added garlicky sauteed mushrooms and some sliced tomatoes on the side). I may be slightly hungover after having friends over last night :blush: It...

we had chicken tikka masala, mini garlic and coriander naans, poppadums and mango chutney. I bought the spice paste, naans, poppadums and had the mango chutney in the cupboard as having an easy meal as I have been in the kitchen all afternoon making stuff for tomorrow evenings guests and am...

I agree that olive oil is not incompatible with a healthy diet - you do need some fats in your diet and olive oil as well as things such as nuts are healthy sources of fats, providing you don't have too much. So as bearpants says a tablespoon a day is a perfectly healthy amount. Far rather...

ooh truffles - I'd forgotten about them. Haven't made them in years. That's fab thanks. I think I've got a few special occasions coming up in the next few weeks so they'll make nice little gifts. Thanks very much :)

We had pork chops (marinated in balsamic vinegar and rosemary), salad (rocket and parmesan), sauteed mushrooms and a sourdough bagette. I'd been cooking for several hours (and have a day of it tomorrow) so couldn't be bothered to do much.

Made cake today for MIL birthday but overestimated the amount of ganache I would need and have about half of it left (bear in mind this was the filling for a 6 layer sandwich cake so quite a lot). Problem is the stuff gives me a migraine, neither of the kids will eat it and there is no way dh...

We had pork chop (marinated in balsamic vinegar and rosemary), rocket and parmesan salad, baked mushrooms and tomatoes, and some garlic bread (as I found some stale bread in the bread bin).

roasted in the oven with honey. Chop them into wedges (1/4s usually), drizzle with oil and a tablespoon of honey and roast for 30-40 mins on 180 degrees celsius (360 degrees fahrenheit).

we already had hunters chicken (ckn with bbq sauce, bacon and cheese) corn on the cob, paprika potatoes, baked mushrooms and tomatoes with a splash of balsamic vinegar. It was lush and I am completely stuffed. I am having a can't be bothered menu this week as we are all exhausted after a run of...

In Uk I spend about £100 ($150) per week on family of 4 + cat for food, booze and all other household stuff (including nappies (diapers)). I know people who can do it for £60 ($100) but it is either a very basic diet or vegetarian (no chance here). That does all our meals as me and the boy...

Hunters chicken with paprika potatoes and a rocket/mooli/parmesan salad for adults and corn on the cob/pepper/cucumber for the kids. The boy had plain chicken (well with lemon/black pepper) instead. They all ate it happily :yum:

we had ratatouille (minus the aubergine but plus butter beans) and neck of lamb slow cooked in red wine and rosemary. 1 child refused to eat it at all and the other sat and picked at it :mad: I liked it and so did dh but I swear the longer I spend preparing a meal the less likely the little...

We had slow cooked beef with roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, curly kale, peas, gravy and mint sauce, followed by choc brownies and cornish ice cream. It was lush.

yep those are the ones!

We had dinner for lunch as dh going out this evening - fried potatoes, bacon, eggs and baked beans with some bread & butter on the side. Kids will have veg sticks/cheese/ham/cocktail sausages with bread and butter, followed by the jelly me and the boy made yesterday. If I put a loaf on now...

Full english - bacon, sausages, eggs (poached for preference), whole tinned tomatoes (baked beans for dh), fried mushrooms, leftover potatoes thinly sliced fried up - or even better leftover baked potatoes thickly sliced and fried (used to go to a cafe that did this and they were fantastic)...

Tonight kids had leftover roast dinner as neither of them bothered with it yesterday, though the baby mostly ate bread & butter (is a bit under the weather at the mo). Me and dh had pasta cabornara - it is the only creamy sauce he'll eat, though he does cover it in balsamic vinegar <bleurgh>

Dh going out so he is taking leftovers made into burritto. I will have same once kids are in bed. Said kids will probably have raw veg sticks with cheese and ham and bread roll.

we had make your own burrittos - well me and dh did. The kids had corn on the cob plus what they fancied out of what was laid out so the boy had wrap, grated cheese and salad. The baby had rice mixed with spicy pork and onions and some grated cheese. and threw relatively little food at her...
