new recipes to try

[mollykins]

it seems that every week we are eating the same old food and its getting boring now, but my mum and dad are realy fussy eaters so can anyone come up with recipes that DON'T include any of the following;

nuts, pasta, rice, noodles, couscous, oats,
really spicy ingredients, ginger, cumin, turmeric, honey, syrup,
tuna, crab, lamb, Beef, muscles, smoked fish,
coconut, spinach, cauliflour, sprouts, lentils, beensprouts, swede, turnips, parsnips, courgette, any cheese other than chedar,

Is anyone up to the challenge to find something that we will all eat? i would prefer recipes for main courses but if you have a nice starter or dessert they're welcome aswell.

sorry if there is anything i've missed, i'll add it later.

and no yoghurt or sharp fruit if you're thinking of a dessert.

[mccfluff]

are you veggie yet or do you want meat dishes?

have you tried the good food website as well, its very good

blanch some leeks for about 5 mins wrap in ham and arrange in an oven proof dish, pour over some cheese sauce and bake till all golden and bubbly

[mollykins]

and if possible, make it as healthy as possible, at the moment all we seem to have is roast dinners, chops and chips/mash with gravy or cream sauce, fish and chips, stir-fry, and packs of chinese things like wontons and prawn toast, full of carbs and additives etc.

[mollykins]

i will eat meat but the foods i've lsted are things that at least one of us can't stand to eat, so all other meats are all right to use.

[mollykins]

But its really anoying as dad wil only eat potato. . . gggggrrrrrrrr

[redcrx]

chili and garlic prawns.

cook off chili and garlic in olive oil then add prawns (cheap small shrimp seem to work best) fry until well cokked, and all liquid has gone.

serve with salad and new potatoes

[ummmm]

All the other meats?

[mollykins]

we wouldn't be able to use much chilli, and i'd love to have noodles with it but i supose new potatoes would be nice.

other meats include, non smoked fish, prawns and other seafood, chicken, turkey, pork, oh . . . BUT NOT duck, dad won't eat duck.

[mccfluff]

pork meatballs with salad and pitta's to shove em with a bit of coleslaw or whatever "dip" you fancy

[redcrx]

use as much chili as you want,i dont like spicy food either, but love them

[mollykins]

But i will have minced beef, if there is a nice strong sauce to go with it.

[wiggal]

Jacket potato with cheese and beans?

[mollykins]

Nice suggestion mcfluff, but when my dad has salad, all he tends to have if a couple of slices of wafer thin cucmber and a tomato.

[ummmm]

Home made chicken kebabs in pitta bread.

[mollykins]

wiggal, we have that eevry so often, but its not that healthy and gets really boring after a couple of times. I'm looking for something different, exciting and preferably healthy, but i don't know how many things there are don't have the aformentioned ingredients.

[ummmm]

Boiled bacon and cabbage....that's what I'm having tonight.

[mccfluff]

enchiladas?

[mollykins]

To be honest pitta bread is a really good suggestion, i think dad'll eat it be we never seem to, just end up have potato most nights, with stirfry or something on a saturday when he has steak (with chips of course)

[mollykins]

fluff, he thinks pitta bread is alirhgt but doesn't like tortillas and stuff made with them.

[ummmm]

I have spuds most nights.....
