Ideas for dinner

Bored of bolognaise and the usual stuff for the kids. Anyone got any ideas? Eldest is 8 and will eat most things but certain veg needs to be hidden.

Pasties bhey !!

Trouble is I can't make a pasty and there's no gooduns round here. Tesco hot cabinet is about the best....!!!!!

Doesn't Colin ever invite you around for a dinner pot noodle and pizza party ?

Bacon super noodles and meatballs. A staple diet for my young'uns.

I've been in Colin's once. Gladly I got out alive but I'll never step foot in there again....

If you have a slow cooker make a hearty broth. I've got one on the go Now.

All you need is the carcass of a chicken, leftover from a roast and chicken curry, a big onion, garlic, chicken stock cubes, dry soup mix which has soaked overnight in cold water, potatoes and any other veg you have.

It pretty much cooks away by itself and you just add salt, pepper and a bit of mixed herbs and towards the end remove the bones and skin from the chicken.

Don't blitz it up like the fannys on tv just have it with crusty bread. Delicious, cheap and a piece of piss to cook. It simmers away for hours while you crack open beer after beer.

Cheers GJ, liking your style. No leftover chicken so I'll dump some breast in.

Is a full english out the question then?

You'll just need more chicken stock then Chingers. It's perfect for cold dark evenings too.

Pork pie.

And if you want to make it a hearty meal - add a lump of cheddar and some home-made pickled onions.

Got the broth on the go. Looking forward to it.....

What Jock says or some chinese, real quick and easy to do a stir fry or chow mien. Chicken cut up small, dust with cornflour and five spice, fry in wok or large saucepan, add some spring onion then pepper, ginger and garlic, chilli, throw in the noodles or rice, soy sauce to season and serve. Takes fifteen minutes to cook with rice or ten with noodles.
Chilli wraps with tortillas is another good one, beef chilli, heat wraps in grill, mayo, salad or homemade cole slaw and serve. Can also be done with spicy pork or chicken.
Or Chicken thighs covered with curry powder or paprika or similar spice, roasted in the oven at the same time as potato wedges, onions, tomatoes, herbs and olive oil.

Chinese idea is good. It's so easy I know but sometimes you just can't think what to cook. I've done wraps and they love them. Nothing like a bit of home made slaw too....

Ever tried substituting some Soy sauce for Oyster sauce Iggs??

Gorgeous.

Hog Roast

Just make a good old fashioned stew.

Also, don't throw away old chicken bones. Freeze them and when you have enough make a stock. You can freeze that too!

Pasties are easy to make. You can buy the pastry ready made if you want to.

Gonna defo give the pasty a go. My mum brought some up last weekend so that was a right touch.
Chicken broth has been on for two hours now and is tasting deeeelightful. Just gave the kids theirs as they have to go to cubs but I've thrown it back in the over to stew away.

Mine's been on the go since 9am and the whole house smells of it   Tis a beautiful smell though and everyone is ravenous but have to wait for the bread my missus is making to go with it
