hmm for me i am cooking satay chicken (diced up) on rice...but i add tinned tomatoes to make a nicer fuller satay sauce...
the other nice i did a savoury mince with mushrooms then mixed it into a macoroni pasta with sauce and baked it with cheese on top...i like to do big one pot type meals... DHs fave is my butter chicken on rice... |

i'm going the easy way and making a baked eggy cheesy thing with lots of zucchini, onion and capsicum in it. mikey loves it and i really can't be bothered making something too involved.
bombshell, that satay chicken sounds so good. and can i get the recipe for that mince pasta thing? it sounds like something mikey would love. ------------- |

I had a terribly uninventive dinner tonight... panfried pork chops with kumara mash and carrots and beans! It was still good tho... I've not had kumara mash for ages. Mmmmm.
Tomorrow night I am going to slow cook some lamb shanks with red wine, orange and rosemary. My mum did it when I was home last week and yuuuuuuuuuuuummy. I LOVE lamb shanks. |

Corn fritters with salad - basically lettuce underneath, corn fritters on top, a dollop of sour cream on each fritter (four medium sized ones to a plate), then tomato and cucumber slices layered on top, a bit of sweet chilli sauce... and a dash of salt and pepper. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

haha I'd LOVE to! I hate cooking on our measly flatting budget... although we do eat better than most other student flats 
Mum keeps buying us foodie mags - my sis and I sit there drooling over the food... it's great inspiration! |

We had boring old fish fillets with oven chips and salad. Sending Willie off to the butcher and vege shop tomorrow since the cupboards are bare after we've been away, so hopefully tomorrow will be more inspired...
Drooling over Jax's corn fritters, and Bombshells chicken, and heck, just about everyone elses dinner! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Homemade pizza for us, Chicken, Cranberry and cambert cheese, nice and simple as didn't really have energy to cook anything inspiring.
Everyone elses sounds nice though and is making me think I should put more of an effort into cooking nice dinners. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

OMG!!! I don't think I've cooked a decent dinner since brenna was born!! What a bad wifey 
I think that tonight I'd better make more of an effort... Last night we just had lamb chops and that was it!!! (I must admit that yesterday was a bit off b/c we had driven back from WW (3 hours) and brenna was VERY tired and grouchy). Frozen veges seem to be the easiest and quickest way to eat our greens at the mo... I feel terrible after reading all the gourmet things everyone else has been making... poor hubby!

| LMAO - i wish DH would read THIS thread....he says I dont cook often enough and never seems overly impressed (except with butter chicken) and just eats it all and says it is "ok" - IF i ask!!! |

I must admit my hubby actually comes into the house and if I already cooked and it is something new he can almost smell it and just ask me did I experiment again. Apparently he likes it when I experiment as he sometimes gets really unusual food.

Bombshell - get hubby to carry around a sack of something REALLY heavy on his front for a whole day then ask him whats for dinner...
My DH is really good about it, he cooks more often than me at the moment (probably helps that he's doing body for life, so needs a decent meal  )------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

LMAO my Dh already has a sack on his front - it is called a beer gut!!! Lets just say i only stick out about 10 cms more than him at moment...we measured last nite....LMAO!!! But i can lose mine...I hope!!!!
I hate DH cooking a lot as he makes a HUGE mess and i dont eat til like 8 30pm....he takes soooo long to make even a simple dish and uses sooooo many pots etc to do it too.....he is very messy!!! ALtho his sun brunchs are awesome!!! |

Well, the shanks were extortionate... so we got some other stuff which looked like it was the meat cut off the shank bone. It did the same job
