Cooking Tonight #5

[Nicos]

My 'go to' at the moment is either a bowl of cornflakes or two, occasionally four, of the chocolate miniature Mars/Snickers bars I bought ages ago. They were a good buy as they are still going strong a couple of months later, and still taste good, even though out of date now.

Also nice chopped into slices and mixed into a fresh fruit salad!

I think I'll get some cod out of the freezer and make a fish pie topped with mashed potato today. We'll have it with carrots and French beans.

For pudding apple and blueberry "something," I think. Either pie, crumble, or sponge. If I make crumble, I'll make plenty crumble mix and and store the extra in a jar in the fridge, or a bag in the freezer, ready for the next few times.

Let us know how the biscuits turn out Snoop…I looove them!

They didn't turn out, I'm afraid. We had unexpected visitors, which rather upended the day. Maybe next weekend?

I love making and eating soup, Bren. The best comfort food there is.

On the cards for today, a big pot of minestrone for lunch and the freezer. All kinds of options for supper but the leeks need eating up first. So another leek and pea curry. Possibly onion bhajis to accompany or another chickpea biryani.

Edited to add:

Flo, I can't imagine 'forgetting' advent calendar chocolates. I'm a disgrace - I'd be having them with my breakfast coffee.

[Bren In Pots]

Mackerel and mix veg tray bake.

[Nicos]

My ‘go to’ is peanut butter with squashed banana butty.

[Bren In Pots]

You wouldn't be jealous GF - wheat crunchies, cheese and onion crisps, dry roasted peanuts and about 10 chocolates that I had forgotten to open from my Advent Calendar!

Flo it’s more exciting than ‘my go to’ of porridge, raspberries and yoghurt. MrPots is a cheese sandwich and a bag of crisps.

Cheese and crackers with a glass of red.

I’ve made Ribollita this afternoon enough soup for 4 dinners.
I do like making soup, I’m thinking tomorrow I’ll make spiced swede and carrot.

The casserole isn’t quite ready, so it’s breaded chicken breast instead. Yum.

[Florence Fennel]

Last night the Throw Out didn't arrive - I daren't tell you the rubbish we consumed instead!

I've made lots of cheese and onion flan, so well have that with salad and a few chips.

[Nicos]

I’m making a steak and onion casserole/ stew for tomorrow and it’s cooking nicely in the oven.
I may put some on one side for tonight if it’s ready in time…plus some green beans to go with the gratin.

Rice pudding with stewed apple and blackcurrants for pud
