A(nother) Week in Dinners
Sinéad at Bumbles of Rice is hosting another week in dinners link-up this week. I have been keeping an eye on our dinners and here’s what was on the table in our house. Everything is dairy free of course.
Sunday
Roast chicken, steamed kale, carrots and roast baby potatoes in their jackets. We followed this by a really simple pear crumble. I used my usual crumble recipe but used tinned pears in juice, drained as the fruit.
Monday
On Monday we had left overs of Sunday’s chicken with freshly made mash and carrots.
Tuesday
My husband was at home this week and he made a huge pot of thai red curry with mushrooms and carrots in the slow cooker. I was out on Tuesday evening so the boys had this for dinner with brown rice. The curry was quite mild, made with red thai curry paste and coconut milk and the boys lapped it up. I had a sandwich rather than a heavy meal when I came home around 8.30.
Wednesday
We had more of the thai red curry this time on cous cous.
Thursday
I’ve been trying to clear out my larder press, and the boys had been begging for pasta pesto. I made some alphabet gluten free pasta from Feel Free for Gluten Free, with a Dolmio sauce with slow roasted garlic and tomato. We had this with sausages and broccoli. A quick tip for cooking pasta and broccoli is to throw the broccoli in on top of the pasta after about 5 minutes simmering and allow both to simmer for a further 5 minutes. The broccoli is nice and crunchy done like this.
Friday
I made a cottage pie and it went down a treat.
Saturday
It being Saturday we had a lazy dinner. We had oven chips, baked beans and salmon fillets. The fussy fellow had fish fingers instead of salmon.
Pop over to Bumbles of Rice by clicking the link below to see what everyone else has been eating this week. This linky is all about what real people have for dinner. Looking back it’s a bit lame that twice this week we ate the same thing twice in a row. But this is regular enough in our busy household. What have you been eating this week? Join in yourself over on Bumbles of Rice.
Cook once eat twice is a mantra here too :) And I live with small people who would happily each turn into fishfingers:) Thanks for joining in.
Yeah we go through phases here where I forget about the magic of fish fingers for months and months and then they are asking for them all the time again. :)
Looks and sounds lovely. My kids would eat many of those meals, I must try them with a thai curry though, they like a regular curry :)
Thanks Naomi, the coconut milk makes it nice and mild, they do really love it. I actually never make regular curry for mine must try!
