H - Dinner is served

Hello there,

As promised before the blog was even born our list of dinners we can make and where possible a link to the recipe. Some are self-explanatory though. And though we are meat-eaters many of these can be a veggie variation I think:

Stir Fry (always a variation on a theme, often all veg with soya beans, chinese bok choy, cashew nuts etc... and yummy noodles - kamut, rice, wheat....)

Fajitas (chicken or veg) with a homemade spice mix guacamole, sour cream and cheese

Burgers and sweet potato fries (with corn on the cob if in season)

Bassa/Pangasius with Thai coconut milk, peanut, coriander sauce (I can post recipe if needed) with basmati rice and steamed courgettes

Sausages and jacket potatoes and a veg

Sausage pasta, made with any leftover sausage, in tomato sauce and veggies

Lasagna (weekends only, but double portions for freezer) this one's meat but the same website has a veggie one

Veggie chickpea curry with naan and rice (the base of the curry is onion, garlic, ginger, then loads of spices and any fresh coriander I have mulched in the blender and fried) with coconut milk and tomatoes. If it's too spicey for F we add yoghurt to hers.

Bacon and asparagus pasta with cream and parmesan

Stuffed Peppers - usually cous cous or quinoa with a moroccan flavoured spice (ginger, cinnamon and cumin) with raisins, pine nuts and diced veg


Salmon with a pesto crust
potatoes and broccoli

Lamb chops and cous cous (much the same as the pepper stuffing)

Pizza - homemade, you'll have to ask my husband!

Smoked salmon pasta with variations - basil, cream cheese/sour cream/cream, parmesan, lemon oil and courgettes

Pork and Pears with potatoes and a veg

Chilli with rice or jacket potatoes

Spaghetti and meatballs
No veggie option I know of unless you substitute ground beef for something else


Sesame goujons of fish
and chips with broccoli

Risotto - lemon and rocket, mushroom with goats cheese, squash and peas

Tilapia with coriander and maple syrup Tori Amos' favourite recipe apparently! This is simple and tasty.

Fishcakes salad and potatoes

Chicken and bacon pasta (with veg)

That's it.
This is the homemade stuff but just so you know we do pre-made tortellini, quiches, pizzas and the like!
