Buttery mashed potates, broccoli, carrots, spinach with milk/butter/nutmeg, sirloin steak and gravy for us tonight. Delish.

Tomorrow will be cottage pie

Can't wait

I had slow cooker beans and venison sausages. I used cannelloni and black eyed beans and leftover sauce from the pulled chicken in the cooking club

Totally forgot to take a picture! I had Slow Cooked Brisket in a Sweet and Tangy Sauce (cooked for 10 hours in the slow cooker).

mike65 · 20-03-2013 04:15PM

It was great! Obviously I let the side down a bit - no bacon, white pudding or fried bread! :pac:

Lazy dinner this evening

Oven chips ("Golden Fries", in a green bag, from Aldi)
Heinz Baked Beans
Birds Eye Crispy Chicken

More gourmet stuff coming at the weekend!

Tonight we had a bit of a mish mash theme -- Malaysian spiced roast 'Spit' chicken with chinese egg fried rice and veg medley stir-fry. Think the spice from the chicken over-powered the rest. Should've just gone with plain steamed rice and it would've been ok.

Happy St Paddy's! Made braised lamb shanks in red wine, champ mash and peas. It's the first time I've ever cooked shanks. Lovely meat fell off the bone.

<mod snip>

You can remove whatever you like from a quote. Just delete the bit that says blah blah blah

mike65 · 21-03-2013 10:37AM

to make up for the fry - pasta, tuna, peas. Tastes better than it looks!

If it's not too much bother, could you post the Malaysian roast chicken recipe? it looks delicious and I usually spatchcock my roast chuck anyway.

Last night we had buttery mashed potatoes, broccoli and lamb chops sprinkled with dry herbs and some gravy that had the juice from the chops mixed in to it.

tmc86 · 22-03-2013 12:34PM

Lovely looking meals there 5unflower, especially in this weather! that chicken looks delicious :pac: nom nom

5unflower · 22-03-2013 04:45PM

Thanks, yep, the meals of the last few days were definitely inspired by the need for warm comfort food. And also inspired by the recent acquisition of my first ever cast-iron casserole :-D

fussyonion · 22-03-2013 06:43PM

Pork casserole with creamy mash and peas

ChewChew · 22-03-2013 07:20PM

Bulgar wheat with peas, roasted mix veg and baked seabass

Twee. · 22-03-2013 07:42PM

Didn't have much time this evening so I made a quick stir fry with chicken, shallots, garlic, ginger, pepper, and cooked off with soy sauce and sriracha. Sriracha saves everything

Since M&S started stocking it, I'm totally obsessed!

Tea and cheese toasties for dinner, on account of the miserable weather. My cheese toasties were served on McCambridge's bread with a generous Emmental topping over slow roasted cherry tomatoes, spring onions, and a little jalapeño pepper. Melted cheese makes everything yum!

Will do

Mrs Fox · 23-03-2013 11:20AM

Yesterday was my little girl's first birthday so I made a simple fudgy choc cake, threw some frozen chicken goujons, fish fingers and pizza for the kinders, and penne bolognese for the adults.
There's a good bit of Ragu left so will make lasagna for dinner later.

Seaneh · 23-03-2013 11:54AM

Last night I had a cauliflower pizza base with butternut squash purée as the "sauce" and then scattered some balsamic and honey caramalised onions, thinly sliced chorizo and St. Killian's Wexford Goat's Cheese on top.

In the words of Gennaro Contaldo, "Why am I cooking so Good?!".

I need to invest in a camera.

If anyone want's the recipe, let me know, I'll post it here or pm it to you.
