Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

Utterly unhealthy but f*ck it it's Friday. Pan-fried breaded chicken with mash, creamy pepper-whiskey-mushroom sauce and roasted romanesco broccoli. If you like cauliflower and broccoli, you'll like that - it's kind of a cross between the two.

Unhealthy says who? That’s top class home cooked grub 👍

I was thinking the same thing! It might be healthier to cook the chicken in the oven than fry it, but overall I wouldn't count that as an unhealthy meal. I've burgers and chips on the menu for tonight 🙈

Fair points, but there was a lot of cream in both the sauce and - as well as plenty of butter - the potatoes, etc. I don't mind too much though, it's a cheat meal. It's not like I eat it every day (though I will admit I am eating it again today, ****).

It doesn't look too pretty, but it was seriously tasty.

Oven-roasted butternut squash, spicy garlicy wedges, broccoli and a blue cheese sauce. Well, I say blue cheese - there was some blue cheese, some gubeen and some raw-milk cheese that all needed using up. The sauce packed quite a punch, and was wonderful with the sweet squash!

A mish mash of things, omelette (kale, onions, mushrooms, salami and cheese) with toasted rye bread, hummus, cauliflower pickle, and lots of parsley. That's instant tomato soup in my BFG cup.

Beef Burrito

Gloomtastic!

Is the difference between a burrito and fujita just rice?

Burritos normally have rice and beans. A fajitas is mainly onions and peppers with grilled meat

Really was. Easy too. This is the recipe. I cocked up the curry leaf mayo as I used dried leaves so double the amount if using dried as opposed to fresh. Dried leaves dont really taste of a whole lot.

I'm in Florence and had tagliatelle with duck ragu😁

And then this, mousse, covered with white chocolate with nuts, genoise and little jelly cubes.

Having some great dinners but this was the best so far!

Supermacs.

I really wanted McDonalds but I felt Supermacs would count more as proper food.

I had a Mighty Mac which I thought would be similar to a Big Mac. I was mistaken. The box it came in would probably have tasted better. Also curry fries which were surprisingly nice.

Next time I'm going to McDonalds.

One of the things I really like about working from home is that I now can easily do a bit of dinner prep at lunchtime and make things like homemade pizza for tea easily.

Chicken goujons with salsa, guacamole, cheese and lettuce in a wrap.

Steak sandwich and homemade chips.

I keep forgetting to take photos, but it was savage. I used ribeye steak which wouldn't be my favourite cut of steak but I followed Gordon Ramsey's (who wouldn't be my favourite chef) video on cooking steak and oh mother of Jaysus it was unreal.

Homemade pizza! We already had some leftover dough in the freezer, so that was handy. Just needed to make the sauce from scratch. Made extra sauce though and froze some of that for the next time :P

Had a park of ready made "falafel" lamb meatballs in the fridge, and made them with mash, tender stem broccoli and carrots, with a homemade sauce I had made from finely diced red onion, garlic, tomatoes, bit of cumin and turmeric and lemon juice, and of course a teaspoon or two of harissa (and salt)

Tonight's dinner was epic. Definitely making this again.

Ten hour chilli with a baked potato, sour cream. Bonus cat nose as she was very interested in the sour cream.

is there such a thing as good quality chicken goujons in retail?

Had a look through a few of the options that Tesco has - Most are ~60% chicken, not sure how this compares to other supermarkets

Probably not so I make them myself. Homemade goujons really are the best! 😝

Dave_The_Sheep

Chilli and rice. Actually prefer it with rice to the potato, oddly enough.

Have a **** load to use up still. Anyone any recommendations for how to do it differently? Tacos is the only thing I can think of. Anything else?
