Dinner Ideas Please!

[Smowball]

I’m sick of cooking the same things all the time, but I haven’t got much appetite lately and yet I’ve got a husband who eats like a horse! So seeing as I’m not really wanting to spend much time in the kichen can I please have your easy, fairly quick but filling meal ideas ?

[Islay]

Salad Normande - we used to eat it when we went to Normandy - very filling
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, ham, eggs, boiled potatoes, croutons and grated cheese.
Pile all the salad on the plate, then the warm food and follow with the grated cheese so it warms slightly mmmm
Meatballs and chips
Ribs and salad and wedges
Greek salad
Chicken breast stuffed with brie and wrapped in bacon
Jackets filled with chilli and sour cream and cheese

well thats the starter sorted lol ...lovely choices

[Smowball]

Ooh Islay - that sounds lovely!!

[Smowball]

For that salad Islay do you mean sliced ham? Or cubed?

[Islay]

I have used both, it depends on what I have in the fridge - I have even used lardons (that was extra yummy) if you have bacon - chop that up and fry off to crispy and use that as well.

[Smowball]

Oh I’m definitely doing this!

[Islay]

Well enjoy its nice with balsamic glaze or mayo - hubby prefers it with salad cream

[Smowball]

Hubby hates salad cream(I love it) but he loves Caesar salad dressing so guess that would work too.

i made morrocan pork mince last night - lush! http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/moroccan-pork-mince-415397.
I di it with cous cous - quick too

[Islay]

Yes it would just give him the bottle and let him pour away.

[Smowball]

Oh that looks nice too!

I didn't know what to have for dinner today, had potatoes left over from yesterday, roast some chicken and made salad, reading Islay's reply, I think I unwittingly made myself a salad Normande - wow, I feel all professional now ;) it was gorgeous, I didn't have the cucumber

[Islay]

Lol the cucumber is not essential it just goes well, we have also had it minus the cucumber but added apple

[MallyJ]

His turn to cook I would think........

[ducksie]

Oh that is better still, I had Baileys Cheesecake for afters, I do like a treat now and then, so much so, I added cream to it :( they'll need a hoist to carry me out of the house ;)

Spend a morning shoving 3 different casseroles in the oven , freeze in suitable portions so all you need to do is microwave them as and when. Best if you can incorporate veg in the casseroles so they become meals in a bowl.

I do similar Diddly - made this on Friday - it will do me 5 meals easily and is really tasty.
