I love Carrot and parsnip mash.........im weird with carrots, dont like them just boiled or raw but love them roasted and mashed with parsnip

I actually put a bit of honey and brown sugar on the carrots after they finished roasting tonight.......and the pork was so tender and yummy........

I felt totally inspired by the lamb chop crock pot idea. I have whipped some chops out of the freezer. DP is going to be impressed when he gets home to a nice cooked lamb chop dinner with out him having to lift a finger (he usually does all the meat cooking on the bbq - but we ran out of gas) What are some good ideas to have with it? I'm not a bit mash fan.

I like this thread!

I am not even going to say what we had for dinner tonight. I think in the last 2 weeks we have had takeaways almost every night as no one can be bothered cooking

Some old favourites of ours are.

Wraps with mince and vegies.
Wraps with salad.
Sweet n sour pork with noodles
Shepards pie.
Pasta with a tomato/white sauce.
Pizza on a burito wrap.
Stirfry with cous cous
Beef Stroganhoff
Satay Chicken.
Canneloni

Yeah it would probably work on other chicken cuts...it's just an alternative to the usual breadcrumbs really, and tastes so good with the paprika!!

I have huge dramas trying to think up what to have cos DH is so fussy...no spicy/curry/citrus/honey based things...no homemade pizzas cos the bases aren't nice apparently (regardless of what the base is made of)....so it's usually meat and 3 veg, or spag bol or something similar, which is why I was so surprised DH liked it. Tonight we had garlic and rosemary roast potatoes with the roast hogget, and boiled cabbage (DH was raised on boiled cabbage ) and broccoli. Yet again DH surprised me (and himself) by liking the potatoes!!!]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:26:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995530&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995530 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : Roast chook in the crockpot??...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995525&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995525 Author: LouD

I am so going to try the chicken, do you think it will work on other chicken cuts?

Today we had Spinach and Feta pie made the Alison Holst way. But with puff pastry rather than filo. This is an all time fav of mine and dp's.

yesterday was chicken chassuer made with drum sticks, added carrots and spiral pasta.

Friday we had home made pizza with the base made in the bread maker.

Thursday we had Curried sausages with rice and a bunch of different veges mixed in.

Wednesday we had spaghetti and meat balls.

Tuesday lamb chops with boring old boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Monday Spinach and Feta pie again! Geez I love that!

Sunday - Roast chicken made in the crock pot, so tender and yum. The best and only way to cook a whole chicken I think. ]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:09:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995509&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995509 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : Yeah I normally don&#039;t do...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995483&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995483 Author: AandCsmum

I find mashed pot boring but i add some maggi onion soup or other flavour depending on what you feel like etc and it really makes it taste really good

I am a bit late for this but my lack of inspiration & couldn't be arsed turned into mini meatballs, mashed potatoes & cabbage.

Mini meatballs are just small ie teaspoon size amount squished kinda rolled & thrown in the hot pan as you are making them. Mashed spud are obvious & I boiled some savoy cabbage which was surprisingly nice.

I got both kids to eat it much to my surprise.]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:40:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995387&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995387 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : OH and thanks for all the inspiration...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995367&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995367 Author: LouD

Breakfast pizza in the oven as we speak!!!!

I had defrosted some pork chops and my eldest had peeled potatoes and carrots so was gonna roast them with the pork chops and brocolli and mixed veg............but thats all on hold until tomorrow night now cos DH just rang to say hes all the way up in wanganui (2.5hrs away) so wont be home in time for dinner........ If he hadve told me sooner i wouldve just done a takeaway with my boys......cheaper when DH isnt home

So got some crumbed chic wings to go with our pizza......pity we didnt have any garlic bread.

At least dinner tomorrow night is sorted (and prepared)]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:17:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995366&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995366 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : We are having burgers tonight...if...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995352&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995352 Author: HuntersMama

I always have the thai curry pastes in the fridge and plenty of cans of lite evaporated coconut flavoured milk, quick, easy curry that's not too bad for you!

Made a chicken pie with leftover chicken on Sunday - use a can of watties extra special country chicken soup, veges, chicken, all encased in flakey pastry, YUM!!!

Last night was mutton knuckles done in the crockpot with tomato paste, water, onions, and macaroni & peas added at for the last hour.

Tonight is pizza, was meant to be steak but I took it out of the freezer too late so it's still only half defrosted.

Another chicken fave is tex mex chicken wraps ala Annabelle Langbein - easy combination of chicken, kidney beans, tomato paste and sweet chilli sauce to make a great filling for tortillas. Can make into burritos, or enchilada's.]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:01:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995286&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995286 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : If you take Kate recipe and create...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995282&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995282 Author: caliandjack

Kelly what about chicken fettucini? you can get a good recipe off the good morning website

smoked chicken fettuccine

Shopping
Oil
4 rashers of bacon
300g smoked chicken breast
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
400g fresh pasta
375ml fresh cream
Parmesan cheese to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs to taste (parsley, basil). Optional.

Method
- Fill the kettle and boil the water. Put in a pot of water to boil the pasta. Do this 2 times. This will speed up the cooking time.
- Fry bacon in oil until crispy, remove from pan.
- Fry onion, garlic and chicken in same pan (adding extra oil) as bacon and fry until cooked.
- In a small bowl combine cream, parmesan, salt, pepper and herbs.
- When water is boiling, cook pasta until al dente - only a few moments for fresh pasts, then drain and return to the pot it was cooked in.
- Add all other ingredients (bacon, chicken mixture and cream mixture) and stir well. ]]> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:57:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995273&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995273 <![CDATA[Help totally uninspired for dinner : TheKelly wrote:ooh I need this...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32825&PID=995265&title=help-totally-uninspired-for-dinner#995265 Author: lemongirl

Tonight we are having corned silverside with roast potatoes, and courgettes cherry tomatoes, onions and silverbeet (all quickly fries together) with sweetcorn on the cob.
Last night DH made yummy quick pasta with chopped up sausages, in a sauce made out of tomatoes, cream cheese and garlic. with courgettes, capsicum and mushrooms. I made an easier version for DS the night before. Chucked some pasta on to boil, quickly fried some tomatoes, courgettes and silverbeet together. Threw them in the pasta and stirred through some tuna and half a t-spoon of cream cheese mmmmmmmm.
We had corn fritters with bacon on sunday night yum!!!
Pizza is always a favourite in our house, as is wraps with beef schnitzel or chicken and homemade tortillas (courtesy of Sophie Gray!!)

Oh, I'm about as uninspired as you for dinner, but that has a bit to do with the fact we haven't done grocerys in about a month, and haven't done a top up of veges etc since before easter...

We might end up getting chicken, and a pams butter chicken jar (the best supermarket one ever!) and having that on rice- I'll bulk it out with veges so it lasts 2 meals for us.
