Dinner ideas for tonight....please?!

[SEGirl]

Hi

I'm bored, bored, bored of cooking the same stuff & am feeling really uninspired as to what to have for dinner this evening, even pretty pictures in cook books aren't getting me in the cooking mood. Also I'm feeling like a lump at the moment, so want to cook something relatively healthy!!

Any ideas would be great? Otherwise beans on toast for us this evening!

Thanks

I think we are having steak and chips with salad!

I'll see if I can dig up a thread for you..

[SEGirl]

Oh thanks that would be great!!

Have had a look but can't remember the name of the thread on dinner ideas which Pickle started! It has been revived a couple of times so hopefully hasn't been archived..

This blog (written by a local-ish mum and her sister) is full of lovely ideas for grown up and toddler food. They even have an "under 5 minute" category....

I agree, pepper steak, home made chips and a crispy salad with balsamic vinegar.. YUM!!!

Otherwise a turkey, bacon and mushroom hotpot - i have the recipe indoors it is a slimming world, no good for tonight but I can always get you a copy another day.

I'm feeling exactly the same!! I meal plan ahead so I can get what I need in the weekly shop. Fancied a change from the usual 15 meals or so that everyone likes this week. So got a whole new menu for this week.

For tonight were having pasta with mascarpone, garlic, parmesan and spinach. Quick, simple and oh so yummy!

Steak and chips sounds great. There is also this blog I started writting once I had my LO a few months ago. It includes quick and easy recipes as well as some BLW recipes. http://www.bighungryfamily.blogspot.com/ Hope you find it helpful. :)

At the risk of being a total opportunist, I'm a food blogger, someone mentioned us before, www.crumbsfood.co.uk. We do a whole section on food for grown ups - things that are quick to knock up after the kids are in bed, and all you want is some decent nosh (and a glass of wine - we have wine recommendations from our own in-house sommelier, darling). Here you go...http://crumbsfeedyourfamily.blogspot.com/p/food-for-grown-ups.html Hope it helps.
