I've been busy in kitchen..and I was wondering what are you all going to fill your tummies with today/tonight?
Perharps this will come 'running thread' like 'weather and what you done in garden today' topics. Sometimes it is so 'hard work' to think what to do or what I fancy to eat, so getting ideas from others may get tastebud going with foods that didn't even enter our minds...no matter how fancy or humble it may be.
So...to start with..I'm going to have for my tea some chilli and rice..and top it up with bread and butter pudding! :toothy10:
I've got so many 'bits and bobs' left over in fridge and cupboads to use up so anything and everything goes..'old' bread, mincepie filling, almost over ripe apples...left over bolognese sauce turned into chilli with added peppers, mushrooms, chillies, runnerbean 'seeds'.
OH is not chilli head so he gets some chicken and veg rice for his main course...again..using up some left overs from roast chicken.
:glasses9:

Goodlife, we are having breadcrumb chicken , with rice & courgettes rice is mixed with left over veg in the fridge, chicken has lots of chillie in the breadcrumbs yummmie. Desert is apple crumble apples from our tree. we shall enjoy that we love anything chillie. Always bring lots back from holidays.

My freezers are choc-a-block with one portion meals I've frozen and this year's garden produce so I really don't have to cook for a couple of weeks. However, I am in the process of making my first batch of squash soup of the season so will enjoy a bowl of soup with some crusty homemade bread this evening and worry about finding space in the freezer for the rest tomorrow!
Being a one person household means that when I fancy lasagne, fish pie or coq au vin for example - then I end up with 3 or more portions for the freezer!
I keep telling myself to use them up before buying more but yesterday couldn't resist a lovely piece of fresh venison steak reduced from £5.99 to £3.99. Again too much for one person so I shall enjoy venison twice this weekend!

I have barely eaten at all for most of the last week. I had no appetite and everything left a bad taste in my mouth. About 11o'clock I thought I might fancy an omelette which I duly prepared with garlic and chives. It tasted absolutely delicious!! It really felt like rediscovering food! Followed by a Yeo Valley vanilla yoghurt (equally delicious) and a cup of root ginger tea.
Now we're motoring!
I'm thinking some steamed lemon sole for dinner perhaps with roasted tomatoes and peppers or maybe just with carrots and peas. Then some fruit.
-
I have just made a sweetcorn and chicken pie made from leftover roast chicken. I love making new meals from leftovers. We will have it with mashed potato :icon_cheers:

"gulp"..."drooling"..I could quite happily to invite myself for dinner into all of your houses.. :toothy10: ...sounds yummy.
I find cooking from left overs and/or reheating dishes often do make much tastier food than in first time round..
-
We have just had home made tomato soup (did not get a bad crop in the greenhouse considering) but I am going out for a curry tonight with the girls from work :icon_cheers: It is nice for me as we have chosen somewhere walking distance from home so I may indulge in wine!
-
Dug up some horseradish today....up until a couple of days ago I had it down as dock! So am going to experiment and have some with fried steak.
-
We took allotment stew out of the freezer to the plot for lunch, shared it around with our mates and some crusty bread. Tonight it's plaice with charlotte wedges, peas, sweetcorn and sliced french beans, all from the freezer (trying to make room, we, too have made quiche, lasagne, fish pies and cottage pies for instant meals when we've been babysitting and we made lots of soup recently). Saves spending any more money :toothy10:
-
My freezer is choc a bloc and I am two weeks in advance on my housekeeping!!! Looking for ideas now.
-
Dug up some horseradish today....up until a couple of days ago I had it down as dock! So am going to experiment and have some with fried steak.
Well, it nearly blew the top of my head off! I grated a little bit then mixed it with mayonnaise. I like the shop bought sauce but have obviously never had the real thing! Can anyone suggest how I can tame it a bit?

Sorry if this sounds sarcy..... but use less it is much stronger fresh and so much more tasty. Try it in tarter sauce it is great!
-
it's Ok, you didn't sound sarky! I did only try a little tiny bit. How do you make tartare sauce?

Oops sorry that does get bought!! I think includes gerkins but at the moment it is one of the few things that I buy!

Liver, bacon, onions and the smallest of my spuds get thrown in as well, on my own for a few days so I made enough to last. :wave:

Omelette with the last of yesterday's peas and sweetcorn, onion, lovely long red pepper and a few of the cherry toms I'm still managing to ripen, all with a lovely thick piece of granary bread , yum :toothy10:
-
Gosh..I don't know how I would manage without kitchen for that long. Suppose I would live with barbeque food..
Having spent all day outdoors..there was no proper cooking in our house today..just some sausage cobs and fruit for afters.
Naughty but nice :toothy10:

I had another bowlful of the soup Imade yesterday as I really couldn't find space for more than one portion in the freezer and I had already given half the potful to my friend. Also used some stored apples to make an apple pie - gave half of that to my friend too. She doesn't like cooking and always welcomes whatever I have to offer!
The venison steak is still in the fridge but is definitely on the menu for tomorrow.

yesterday I made a veg stir fry with the pak choy and chinese leaves and onions from the allotment, the last of my peppers, some carrots and courgettes, just stir fried with some soy sauce. Was very yummy and a little spicy from the chinese leaves. We ate that with sausages :)
Then last night we have veg soup with one of the few butternuts that grew for me, combined with the first leeks from the allotment, carrot, potato. very tasty.
Tonight I am trying a recipe that I saw: pasta with swiss chard (picked a nice little bunch yesterday) and rocket: cook the pasta and boil the swiss chard. brown some onions and a heap of garlic and diced bacon and wilt the rocket into that. Add cooked chard to that and then add a little cream and the recipe said gorgonzola but i don't have any so it might be a little goat's cheese I think. Add the pasta, season well, combine and serve.
-
Well Ive got the meat sorted, went out shooting on Saturday and got a few pigeon's just not sure what to do with it, been looking on line for inspiration :icon_scratch:

I've just had some lovely German vollkkornbrot with smoked salmon and diced dill cucumbers. Very tasty.
Tonight a winter veg stew - carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, swede, flageolet beans all with a touch of curry powder and a smidgeon of turmeric as well as parsley, rosemary and time. Might add some sage too then I can sing the Scarborough Fair song?!!:P
This will be the base for some grilled lemon sole and hopefully will provide lunch tomorrow too.
-
Tonight we're having some homemade minestrone , everything from the plot apart from the stock :toothy10:

Today was grab on the go(mostly left over cottage pie from yesterday) what with the kids in and out driving them around to there clubs Wednesday is always a mad house,
Tomorrow is mini roast day :happy7: and I'm going to have some of my OWN sprouts :blob7: this is the 1st year i have managed to grow them they normally just blow, taken me 4years to get it right and to find a good seed :tongue3:

We had a lovely leek and chicken pie yesterday and fully intended to eat more of it today, however ... today was the day the old kitchen was removed. After 10 hours of air filled with early 20th century dust compounded by whatever chemicals were in the stuff they used to prime the walls for plastering tomorrow I was so pumped up with allergens that I had to get out of the house to breathe!
So quadretti al salmone , affogatto and a glass of montepulciano at our local Italian helped me to recover. Now enjoying a splash of Glenlivet in a glass of water and breathing a lot better!

Hm...do you really need kitchen after all? Sounds rather nice..'Italian' flushed down with a bit of 'Scottish'.. :icon_cheers:
We are having some chestnut sausages and mash with splash of gravy accompanied with pile of buttery kale....yum..can't wait until dinner.
-
Had some of our tomatoes, consto something, yellow lemon and tigerella,still ripening on the windowsill, with some nice strong cheddar and granary bread, lovely :happy7:
-
The great advantage about getting a new kitchen fitted is that you don't feel guilty about eating out. So on Friday we tried out an Indian/ Bangladeshi place we hadn't been to before. Sabzi pakore, ginger murgh, shatkora lamb with a bit of boiled basmati and a garlic and coriander naan. All very tasty and made us think we will go back!
Last night we slummed it on leftovers from the fridge (leek and chicken pie + smoked salmon butties) and tonight we are invited out!
-
No cooking in our house tonight....it was chippie night!..yum yum :toothy10:

We had home made basa fish fingers last night with charlotte chips, sweet corn, runner beans and peas. We are getting short on peas, must grow more next year :happy7:
-
I've been rummaging in the fridge (didn't take long..nearly empty) and in cupboards..and since I don't fancy going shopping today we are eating what I can find.
Looks like its going to be chestnut sausages, roasted butternut squash and mushrooms and maybe some couscous 'thrown in' as well.
Oh, well..it fills the gap..I'm sure it will be nice...
-
Nigella's sausage balls made with venison sausages. I had veg with mine while OH had orzo rice pasta. We both could have eaten it again.
Eldest daughter is in London with eldest granddaughter & had lunch at the Ivy. They had the nerve to say that if I was there I would be pointing everything, well of course I would I'm a Weight Watcher :icon_cheers: :drunken_smilie:.

A bit lazy today so we just had an Indian. :wave:

Yesterday I bought a tub of Mascarpone (reduced by 30%)and used some to add to cream cheese to make a cheese cake for the weekend. Then searched for a savoury use for it and decided on chicken breast stuffed with tomato puree, herbs and mascarpone and wrapped in proscuitto. It was cooked in butter/oil in the pan for 40 minutes turning frequently. Thoroughly enjoyed it served with sweetcorn. Also made a delicious dessert with store bought meringue nest, a dollop of mascarpone, topped with defrosted raspberries from the garden and sprinkled with shaved chocolate - well it is the weekend :tongue3:

Time for a major diet!

I can,t see where you live. The best black pudding for me is at a butchers on the market square in Ashbourne. Homemade and the best I have ever tasted. I have relatives who live in and around there and always ask them to bring some when visiting Brum.. Don't know if you would call it spicy.
-
We're having lamb sausages with home grown cavolo nero and maybe some roast sweet potatoes.
We live in Belgium where black pudding is made with seasonal and regional variations. At the moment there's a lot with grapes or leeks and also white pudding with leeks or cabbage. Possum likes the black pudding with speculoos - a traditional Belgian spicy biscuit - and now Christmas is coming I've seen black pudding made with Mandarine Napoleon liqueur or cream and spices and other such goodies.
-
Dug up a scorzonera (three fat roots, not very long) and some jerusalem artichokes yesterday, scrubbed and simmered them in acidulated water (vinegar), then fried gently in butter with chopped up ginger root, garlic, added lemon juice - and I have to say they were delectable.
-
Scorzonera - haven't dug any yet this year. I usually just wash them, boil and then rub the skins off in the sink, like beetroot. Much easier than peeling before cooking. A gentle fry in butter afterwards is very yummy indeed. Must try adding ginger, sounds lovely.
We had pork (in a slightly hot tomato, pepper and peanut butter sauce with onion and garlic), with winter squash, beetroot, potatoes and broccoli.
-
Oh..its definitely going to be BIG steaming hot pan full of soup today. BRRRRR its COLD!
Looks like its smokey sausage, lentils and veg soup :icon_cheers:
-
well its Dogfish /rock salmon day for me and Jude as ive got a few fillets that have been vinegar marinaded to remove the Urea smell so their good to go for tonights Dogfish and fresh pasta dinner.
recipe as and when I can UL it.

My garden and veg plot are frozen stiff so I suspect that's the last knell for my cavolo nero and purple sprouting and Swiss chard.
Tonight will be braised steak and onions with home grown roast pumpkin and some bought greens.
-
Last night we had a bit of rump steak, stir fry onion, mushroom and yellow pepper with chips from my actifry
Today she's stuck a chicken in the slow cook, rather have stuck it in the oven myself. :wave:
-
Last of the apples from store, lovely :toothy10:
-
I've started use my squash 'stash' (read; the few I managed to get) and prepared nice lunch for myself.
Baked squash halves, stuffed with smokey sausage, courgette, chilli, garlic and cheese.....YUM :icon_cheers:
It's good thing that my squashes were small as I couldn't resist gobbling both halves....they were so tasty.. :icon_cheers:
And its good thing that OH is not 'big' squash eater...more for ME! :icon_cheers:...few more to eat and then they are not back on menu until later on the year....its going to be looooooong time.
All fingers and toes crossed that this year is better growing year!
-
Last of the tomatoes and some mixed leaves for lunch., also some home made mustard pickle :toothy10: Stored cabbage with kestrel roasties with the chicken for tea :happy7:
-
I'm still using up frozen portions of various kinds - tonight it will be venison ragout with fettuccine. The last of that but still have several portions of fish pie and lasagne.
Dessert will be a slice of the cranberry/pecan pie I made yesterday - yum. I've frozen the rest to stop me pigging out on it :tongue3:.

We did the 'whole chicken dinner' thing, (more-or-less) last week.
We even grew the chicken.
Far, far better than anyone expected, to be fair. It wasn't one of the modern breeds so almost half the meat was dark and the skin was noticeably very thick.
That aside though...... Chin-dribbly tasty!
He got the whole deal, roasted with a whole onion in the cavity, slowly, really slowly after being lovingly buttered and seasoned with salt, black pepper and just a tiny pinch of dried chilli.
All the veggies, and the chillis, were our ours. Some, carrots and parsnips, fresh from the plot.
It was the tastiest, most satisfying meal of the year. for me.
He was even bigger than he looked, and fed us all with ease and went on to make a lovely soup/broth thingy afterwards.. Although the usual child-suspects went missing for those meals. But then they will insist on giving them names. :)
Such is life. *Shrug*

'Sounded' very chin-dribblingly delicious...I wish I could been there for the dinner... :tongue3: :toothy10:

I defrosted some tomato puree by mistake yesterday and have only been able to make use of it today. Added some chopped onions, garlic, chilli and a chicken stock cube for extra flavour to make a nice thick soup which is currently bubbling on the hob - if I don't post tomorrow you'll know the puree should have been poured down the sink!

Spag Bol.
Ohh...that's what I wanted... :BangHead:you are making me hungry now...
We just had some curried Chicken and vegetable rice and although it was tasty...it just didn't 'hit the spot'.
Hmm..I might just take some mince out of freezer...and have Spag Bol tommorrow.. :toothy10:

Casserole but with H/G Aura potatoes and PSB
-
I had courgette and onion quiche and Ray had cottage pie with carrots and onions in, both out of the freezer :toothy10:
-
Chicken and Actifry chips with a couple of tourtilla wraps for chip butties. :blob7:
-
The soup last night was lovely - no ill effects so had the rest for lunch today (I think we are inclined to worry a bit too much about how long food will keep). I grew up in a household without a fridge - let alone a freezer - and don't recall ever throwing stuff out for fear it was 'off'.
Supper this evening was Morrocan style lamb burgers a la Jamie with 'Moonlight' beans from the freezer. The yoghurt, Harissa and lemon juice dip was lovely with it.

Roast Chicken with the trimmings. :blob7:

Bacon ribs, desiree roasties and calabrese in cheese sauce :tongue3:

Horsemeat....... :toothy10:
-
Horsemeat.......
Yes, I think I might have too. Sometimes continental salami meats have horse meat added in....and I had lovely spicy sarnie with some chilli and salami.
Well...if I'm willing to some eat pig and cow..it don't make no difference to munch some horse too. Not that I would go out to buy some in purpose...
-
Salmon parcels with onion, mushroom and jackets yesterday, may have horse today. :wave:
-
No objection to horse meat - after all it helped to feed the nation during the war years, however I am concerned at where it came from - licenced human consumption slaughter houses or the knackers yard.
-
Just enjoyed 'green' omelette made with eggs from our girls, sorrel, chives and elephant garlic (own grown) and some grilled cheese on top..YUM! :icon_cheers:
And 'flush' it all down, afters was greek yogurt with rhubarb (from lottie), jam and blueberry compote.
Might sound odd combination, but I had some jar 'ends' of jam to get rid of and blueberries in freezer...but they did go together really well :icon_cheers:
I'm one very happy girl now..tummy is full :icon_cheers:
-
Ham salad.
Bought potatoes, yoghurt, mustard and mayo mixed with bunching onions, chives, baby carrots from my overwintering in GH containers experiment all made the potato salad. Lidl living salad, the first cuke of the year, bought toms, bought peppers and some coriander leaves for the crunchy-leafy bit.
Pickled onion and beetroot too.
Was awesome. I've missed salads, even if half of it was bought in.
Oh, and some ham.
-
I like the idea of posting what we eat for dinner each day, I tried to get it started on another group but only a couple were interested.
We have left overs tonight.
yesterday we had grilled chicken breast with packet scalloped potato and some steamed broccoli and cauliflower, So as I had a some veggies over and some of the potato I have mixed the 2 together and added another chicken breast diced and a dash of heavy cream, I am going to make it into a pie with some frozen puff pastry.
will have that with steamed asparagus,,
followed by some Apricots home grown and frozen,, I think these are from 2011, but they are still a good colour and taste fine....
tomorrow will be roast lion of pork,,,,,,,, qahtan
-
Salmon with really thick green parsley sauce followed by rhubarb with yoghurt. Yum. I think I might look like rhubarb soon.
-
Chicken, Mushroom, Onion and Orange Pepper stir fry in my Actiry with noodles. :wave:
-
Bacon and egg cob...
..I just didn't have energy left to do any cooking today.
Ohh...you lot make me so hungry. I would love to sit down for dinner that somebody else would have made. OH's 'special' beans on toast is not quite the same.
-
Salad leaves, mini spring onions, radish and carrots :happy7:

Roast chicken portions with the usual. Onions, Garlic and Potatoes and.......... wait for it.......
Goji berries! :icon_cheers: A double-handful too! Notable for the crunchiness of their seeds more than any outstanding flavour though. Nice. Sweet.
Sadly, I'm going to have to relocate my young Goji bush. Just as it was starting to impress too!
Ah well, another year won't make much difference in the grand scale of things I suppose.
I'm blown over by the amount this little bush is starting to produce, considering most people's experiences..... Hmmmmm. I wonder...
-
We had roast pork with stuffing and yorkies, with our pots cabbage broad beans and carrots

My Carrots, Cabbage and Roasties are still cooking with my chicken. :blob7:

PLUMS :icon_cheers: Not much room in tummy for proper dinner as I keep snacking with sweet and juicy plums when walk by the bowl...*burb*
But, if I have to push myself for something savoury, it will be fried courgettes, mushrooms, sausage, onion and kale 'combo'..maybe some chopped up left over potatoes too, oh and always some chopped herbs too :icon_cheers: (I've been eating that last couple of weeks almost every day...just bit of variation with 'greens')
