Re: Day to Day food

I am never bored with food, like cooking and make everything from scratch.
My problem is there are too many things from which to choose .

Re: Day to Day food

Hi

Me too Meg

I have a very big herb garden and 17 different types of vinegar

Every meal is different.

Re: Day to Day food

I also cook all my food from scratch but still get bored.
Nice and healthy dinner today of:

Smoked Haddock, boiled potatoes, fine beans and carrots.

Re: Day to Day food

Let's post a few ideas of easy to make, easy to source ingredients for various meals. I'm sure between us we can find the variety we're looking for among the members here.

Re: Day to Day food

My favourite winter meal is Pork, apple and cider casserole. Makes a change from beef or chicken.

Simple ingredients (pork, cooking apple, onion, carrot, cider, and a pork casserole packet mix), done in the slow cooker.

Re: Day to Day food

I rarely eat red meat i tend to eat mostly chicken and fish which can get boring. I love roast veggies and stir frys and you can jazz then up with herbs and spices. I love cheese too so I use that a lot in cooking, it adds a lot of calories though so beware

Re: Day to Day food

Yes I don't eat Red Meat, normally, Fish, Chicken or Pork.

Jazzi's Pork in Cider sounds good.

Re: Day to Day food

I never have the same food. Some spicy octopus today



But I try to eat something different everyday. It has to be said I eat out a lot.

Re: Day to Day food

I live alone and despite being practically housebound, I cook from scratch always. I batch cook and freeze the results.

My usual fare is Soups, casseroles (chicken or beef) fish, stir fry, curry, quiches, and pies, lasagnes and chili. I also mix up savoury crumble toppings, which again I freeze and then spread on the top of, maybe, minced beef and bake. Last week I used two chicken breasts, and mushrooms, made a creamy sauce using creme fraiche, and with ready made pastry made six single serving pies. I too have a range of spices, vinegars etc.

I also tend to improvise when cooking and throw in unlikely spices or herbs.

Re: Day to Day food

I've got about 14 dishes various of us enjoy I cycle through them I also look at the half price or bogof bargains for anything to try each week.
I use different herbs but no spices so we change it up a bit. If I make soup it's rarely same twice as I fling in anything I need to use up.
Even something mundane like chips is different each time because I buy different potatoes as they become cheapest, and a sprinkle of Parmesan or herbs on them make them different each time too.

We have a few dishes we all like they are used most though as it's just easier if we all eat the same.
