[emd]

We had tuna and asparagus mornay with lemon myrtle fettucine

[wems]

Grae is doing bangas and mash for him and the kids

and I will have salad and boiled potatoes in their jackets with my sausages

[Rinelle]

We were going to be having rissoles and vegetables, but the hot water repair man turned up before we could get dinner on, and it's getting a bit late now. So it looks like it will be rissoles and eggs, maybe with some fruit as well.

[mrs fox]

scrap pizza I can cpming to yours Em....sound absol beauti:wub

[mama_bel]

Fish burgers. And some cumquat vodka and lemonade and ice for mama! ;)

[bubbalove]

Cauilflower and mint salad for me, leftover corn/mushroom/sundried tomato risottoe for the kids.

[Stardust]

Spring rolls with a yummy dip, rice balls and salad. Custard and a new banana cake I tried out.

[mrs fox]

Tonight is chunky veg lasange with a salad from the garden(lettuce, tomatoes corn, basil, mint, spring onions and boiled eggs from the girls)for us oldies and the kids are having some home mode chips on the side.

[Bron]

last night i made a lentil sauce, with loads of veges and a sauce of coconut milk, sour cream and a touch of organic tomato sauce to go with pasta. i made heaps so tonight, i'll beat up a couple of dozen of our eggs (many are bantam eggs so need a few more than big size chooky eggs) and combine it all and bake it.

[mama_bel]

Brit's steamed some new potatoes and boiled some eggs. The TMX is making some cheese sauce whilst she cuts up a salad.

[bubbalove]

Home-made pea and ham soup - the kids can't get enough of it!!

[JAHJ]

We are having chicken boobs and veges. Just need to work out exactly how we are having them. Not feeling too creative atm.

[Stardust]

A failsafe version of San choi bau. Yummy!

[emd]

We had a mix of regular vege pasta and rice/corn pasta, with a plain tomato sauce with peas and basil added. Quite nice, but too much sauce. If I can motivate myself, I'll prep vege lasagne for tomorrow night's dinner.

[SpringMumma]

Ummm....I had the same thing I always seem to post about in this thread...basil crusted salmon with roast mini tomatoes. I ended up with one too many salmon steaks last time I made it, so I froze it with crust and all and just popped it in the oven when I got home from work (girls are at their dad's tonight), and popped some lovely toms in at the end, and voila - delish dinner!!

[emd]

Ingrid, can you please post the recipes for the basil crusted salmon? I bet the Minister for Household Finance would love it, and our kids really enjoy salmon.

[Sam]

Yum, that sounds delish Ingrid.

We just had ravioli with a creamy capsicum sauce.

[Merlion]

home-made meat lasagne with salad and garlic bread. looking forward to it i'm so so hungry

[lorzilee]

Chow mein with (almost all) vegies from our garden. Hurry up little mushrooms....I need you! (and bugger, that was the last of the stock. I know what I will be doing in the next couple of days!)

[SpringMumma]

Here (http://http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/132/pesto+crusted+salmon) is the salmon recipe.

Now for my cheating -
1. I don't make my own pesto. I use yummy basil and macadamia dip and mix with fresh breadcrumbs.
2. If I'm feeling really lazy I just use squeezy basil and fresh breadcrumbs.

SO simple. And turns out you can prepare ahead and just freeze it. Too easy!

[mumofmany]

we had a boring dinner, grilled chicken with boiled whole potatoes and steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beans, peas and corn.

[mamma]

last night was tofu and spinach balls and gluten free sketti

tonight will be tofu skewers and rice/salad type somethingorother ;)

i just pulled white choc chip cookies outta the oven for my dessert :P

[Savannah]

Tonight we're having pizza from a jelly ring :)

I've got some left over wholemeal spelt bread which only lasts two days from the breadmaker, so it is a great way to use it up. You slice the bread and roll it with a rolling-pin.

You put in your top layer first, cheese for most.Then layer your ingredients, with about 3 layers of bread. We use diced tomatoes, capsicums, grated carrot, basil, pineapple, spinach, etc.

Finish with a layer of bread. Push all the ingredients down firmly and then put the lid on and put it in the fridge for the day.

When you are ready to cook it, you preheat the oven and turn the jellyring over onto the baking tray. Release the seal at the top and leave it for a few minutes. Usually the air gets in and the pizza pops out perfectly.

Then just bake until golden.

I think it is an old tupperware recipe?

[JAHJ]

Crumbed stk and veges and gravy

[SungaiKecil]

[kateking]

I am absolutely fascinated by this thread and in awe of you all. I will try to do better but tonight I am grabbing sausages out of the freezer, cutting up an onion to cook, making a kid friendly salad (well our kids anyway) of grated carrot, capsicum strips, grated tasty cheese and baby spinach leaves, wholemeal hot dog rolls and heinz organic ketchup (which redeems the menu slightly) and heading to the local park and having a BBQ! Complete with Beer for DH and I and a big bag of potato chips to scoff whle the snags are cooking. Trouble is "home" meals aren't much better at the moment LOL.

[lizlea]

[michelle_j_r]

[Snoozie]

ooh jealous! The "icecream" sounds divine!!

[Savannah]

The curry sounds delicious. I haven't made a curry in ages. I think we'll have that tomorrow night.

[Merlion]

Tonight's dinner I might have a whack at mushroom risotto... oh crap I just remembered I have to make up some mince into meatballs lolol but I don't feel like them for dinner heehee

[mama_bel]

S, do you have the altered instructions for mushroom risotto? The method in the EDC is a bit wrong. I think it's spelled out well on the forumtmx.

[Phoenix]

we went to the IL's. We had roast lamb and vege, brussels, cauliflower, cabbage, broccolli, roast potato carrot and pumpkin and the IL's grow their own food and we had gorgeous tiny zucchini freshly picked. Yummo. It was great because both my kids ate more then they usually do and I was so shocked to see my baby sucking the marrow out of the bone. (kinda grossed me out) but yay!

[Rinelle]

Ohh, honey soy chicken, yum.

We're having scrambled eggs and bacon. DH will probably add some gf pies to his.

OK, scratch that, no bacon. Instead, we had fruit and ham. Was still yum.

[wems]

I think I may have hit an all time low of "Bad Mum"

But the kids just want ice cream, custard, waffles and fruit for tea and I told them they could

It's to bloody hot

[Phoenix]

MIL cooked! Hooray, they are the best dinners, when you don't have to lift a finger or clean up!!! MIL is OCD and won't let anyone help her for fear you might stack the dishwasher the wrong way.

[Hailstorm]

Tonight we're having roast chooken with roast vegies mmm mmmmmm

[mrs fox]

we will be having something in the wa of chicken & veg...mushrooms, what else is in the fridge?

[mama_bel]

Mashed potato (and/or sweet potato, pumpkin, choko - whatever there is), boiled eggs, grilled eggplant slices, coleslaw, green salad with loads of cucs and tomatoes from the garden.

[boy wrangler]

neither of the boys have had much sleep today, so they'll be having something early and into bed. DH and I will be having chilli con carne, with lots of cheese, sour cream, spring onion and corn chips! Yummo, we may even eat in front of the tele!

[michelle_j_r]

people from the TMX thread will laugh but once again i am going to use the ever-faithful tomato and salami fettucine recipe base yet use neither salami nor tomato nor fettucine. Doing something with zucchini, carrrot and green lentils. Once that is cooked i'll do a mashed potato and sweet potato combination in the TMX as well and then make it into a sheppards pie type dish.

[Stardust]

Shep [pie here too though sadly no tmx. With carrots, cabbage and beans

[Merlion]

we are having spag and meatlballs which i made from scratch.... so good.

[Hailstorm]

Aaaarrrggghhhh!!! the plan was to have steak for dinner, then Veg called me to say he is working late, by this time the steak was half defrosted so I thought no dramas steak tomorrow I'll make pork pork schnitzels sweet as... until now, when I go to crumb the schnitzels only to discover that the pork isn't pork it's diced blade....CRAP!!!! SO now I am trying to invent some kind of quick diced blade recipe that involves pasta....fingers crossed.....

[boy wrangler]

We were going to have quiche, but I defrosted some pastry that I made and froze in July :gaspand it was all separated and gross (could be because its been in the freezer for 6 months, or that I left it on the kitchen window sill on a 35+ day!) so now we're having what we call frittata. Eggs, milk, veg (onion, brocolli, zuch, spinach) cooked in the oven. Easy peasy and both boys love it!

[~Mel~]

Homemade chicken pies. They are just finishing up in the oven as I type!

[mama_bel]

Ran out of white rice so used 50/50 white rice and red lentils in the rice cooker. Worked perfectly. Had that with a delish vegie curry (for the TMX users it's the Chicken curry from the EDC but sub the chicken for more veg - chop some up on speed 5 for a few secs if they don't fit in the jug and add more till you get the weight. Cook for a similar amount of time, depends how chunky your veg are cut if they cook or not (ie: not 10 + 15, but do 20 mins, then check, then 5 more if required).

Oh, to answer your question - veg curry, rice/lentil mix, natural yoghurt. Delish!

[lizlea]

don't think I ended up posting my menu this week.

Tonight we are having pork and vegie stir fry with egg noodles.

[Hailstorm]

Steak tonight I'm hoping there are enough potatoes in the fridge to do mash otherwise it'll be steak mash and frozen (well not served frozen of course :2lol) chips

[emd]

Tonight: Pumpkin and spinach korma curry with rice.

[michelle_j_r]

i have pumpkin. And i have silverbeet.... is the korma made from scratch, Em? recipe please!
otherwise.... i have cabbage i need to use as well...
probably some vegie and rice combination of something tonight....

[emd]

Korma paste in a jar. Pumpkin is pre-roasted: cut pumpkin in half, put on tray in oven at 180C for couple of hours til top of pumpkin is brown. Scoop out cooked seeds for chooks to eat. I cook with macadamia oil at the moment because we got it free from the IL's farm, but any oil will do.
My method is a bit hap-hazard.
Finely chop brown onion and fry in macadamia oil for a few minutes.
Add pumpkin and a hefty dollop of korma paste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Add chopped fresh spinach (silverbeet). Simmer for a few minutes til it's cooked in.
Add a hefty dollop of reduced-fat cream and stir through.
Serve on rice with microwaved pappodams.

[michelle_j_r]

oh, that sounds good!! i love the flavour of roasted pumpkin.

will do that in a few days time. Do you reckon the korma paste is worth buying? Do you ever make your own korma style sauce with spices?

i ended up doing something based on the fast chicken curry in the TMX EDC but with pumpkin and lots of vegies and with more of a korma style spice mix instead of curry. Will see how it goes shortly...

[boy wrangler]

well, DS1 (E, 2.5) rubbed my menu for the week off the blackboard!!! I'm lost without it cause my brain is a bit fuzzy:blink at the moment so I couldn't for the life of me remember what I had on the plan for tonights dinner.

So at abou 2:30 I put the slow cooker on with Bel's Italian Lentils (from the slow cooker thread). I just chucked in whatever veg we had, celery that needed to be eaten, carrots, zucchini, mushies, yellow lentils, herbs from the garden, I'll stir through spinach at the end and serve with cous cous or pasta and parmesan cheese. I make the massive amount of the original recipe, and it makes enough for one dinner tonight, then another 3 dinners in the freezer plus some for dh for work tomorrow.

Thanks bel! It's become a regular at ours!:great
