    Grilled pork chops coated with miso bouillon & a little brown sugar (lazy lady spice rub!) with a sort of greek salad. The feta & salty chops were a bit of a salt overload but so will stick to them seperately in future but tasty none the less.

    Last night i had a stir fry with mushrooms, brocolli, green beans, chick peas and noodles with an oyster sauce! Stir fries are definitly my favourite, so healthy and nice!

    I had a carbonara last night, made without cream (ie. the proper way :p). I actually didn't miss the cream at all! I really thought I would, but it was just as satisfying with an egg yolk and some of the pasta water (and loads of parmesan).

    Trying to be healthy. Went to the gym and had a healthy chicken stir fry and rice. Sounds boring but was rather tasty.

    Burger with mushrooms, onions and pepper sauce with potato wedges sprinkled with paprika. So good!

    I always look at this thread when I'm starving, which is really an unnecessary form of torture! Never posted though...
    I can however contribute today as I pieced together something I thought was worthy of the thread:

    Soy Garlic Chicken

    AsjFlnYCQAAphDh.jpg:large

    If anyone has been to CrackBird, it was an unashamed attempt at a copy of their chicken....and it was very close (and tasty) :)

    I'm currently doing that. :o and have no redeeming exciting dinner, exams at the moment means I'm having lasagne from yesterday until Sunday.

    I've got spuds, cauliflower cheese (roquefort in the sauce and grated mature gouda on top) and a schnitzel for tonight's dinner.

    It'll be so tasty after days and days of no time for cooking. This doesn't happen often in our household, but I had other priorities. :o

    Tonight we're having macaroni and cheese (well, technically it's penne) with smoked bacon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭xxxkarenxxx


    More of a late evening snack than a dinner but still hit the spot. Home made bread and chutney, some wensleydale with cranberries, cannonata, gherkins,parma ham and some crunchie nibbles. Perfect with a glass of wine :)

    Shakshuka - a spicy tomato sauce with merguez sausages baked in a terracotta dish and finished with a poached egg. Ate it with a sourdough loaf for mopping up all the sauce.

    Tonight, I had a really delicious prawn risotto with spring onion, lemon and basil. It was all sorts of tasty!

    I roasted a chicken over the weekend. Served the chicken breast with roasted potatoes, carrots and parsnip together with a rosemary and crème fraiche sauce.

    Still haven't decided what I'm going to do with the yummy chicken stock I made from the rest of the chicken.

    Chicken curry made with mushrooms, red & yellow peppers, tomatoes, onion and low fat yogurt then added curry powder and chicken breast, mixed it all together and placed it inside one of the Knorr chicken in a bag.

    Added long grain rice and garden peas.

    One way is to upload it to an image hosting website like imageshack or imgur, and post the link here. Alternatively, you can attach the image to your post, then click on the attachment and copy the address of it. Press this button insertimage.gif and paste the link into that. That will embed it in your post.
