What's For Dinner: Part 2

[notsmokinjo]

^^^^NNNNOOOOOOO....

 

I don't think my 2 minute noodles with peas and corn was note worthy enough for a pic.

[notsmokinjo]

Steak a la Cbdave, with beans, roast pumpkin, honey carrots, and baked spuds topped with bacon, cheese, beetroot slaw and sour cream...oh and some pepper sauce/gravy.

 

Omg...best steak I have had since Vlados and didn't cost me a fortune.

[notsmokinjo]

Beef & Cashew stir-fry with rice...

 

 

^^last nights offering.

Jo your dinners sound yummy but I never get why people have so many different vegetables. I honestly couldn't be bothered to cook more than two lol.

Cos they are yummy, and they are good for you... but mostly cos they are yummy.... I grew up with meat and 3 veg... so its like a conditioning thing... meals must have at least 3 veg, a white, a green and a yellow/orange... so in my case there is a fair wack of programming. Last night I just did a spag bol... which I put veg in too.

[WeegieWoman]

I put lots of veg in stuff too. This is gona sound mega gross to some I'm sure but tonight was just scrambled egg on toast. But I put in some left over totties, mange tout and brocoli from yesterday. And added half a leek and tiny bit of sweet corn lol so it was more veg on toast but I tell you what, it was delish

[Lilly]

Now that I get. I just don't get having three extra pots every night just for veg. 

 

I'm way too lazy to be washing three extra pots every night

[notsmokinjo]

Oh I don't wash the pots and cook...they want me to cook the do the dishes. .so as many pots as i want us no skin off my nose.

 

But I steam most of my veg so can do multiples in the same pot with the little basket things.

[Lilly]

Ooooh great tip Jo. 

 

I've been so ill the last 10 days that it's really made me want to live a lot healthier than I do. I eat to fill hunger and because my life is quite busy I cook for speed. 

 

I was brought up on good nutritious food but once I left home I ate more crap. My goal is to eat for a longer healthier life now and go back to how my mum used to feed us. 

 

Off to Amazon to check out the steamers

[notsmokinjo]

These are easier to clean than the bamboo stackers...

 

[Lilly]

Thanks Jo. I bought one before I saw this - Amazon is too easy to buy lol. 

 

I got a plug in one with 3 tiers and it will be delivered tomorrow. I think this is going to be a good easy way for me to eat a load of veg every day. I'm also going to stick some new potatoes in it so all I have to actually cook is the main.

 

Best tip EVER X X x

[notsmokinjo]

Thought I'd join in with this with my newly-discovered joy of cooking healthy meals. This takes 20 mins, fish (cod or tilapia) is roasted in an oven along with the grape tomatoes, both with fresh parsley, garlic and a little oil or lemon butter. Mushrooms sautéed in a pan with onions and garlic and broccoli steamed.

Ok - so nobody laugh, I am no cook but I do like to eat.  

 

Kinda like biscuits' and sausage gravy without the biscuits'  .... I use diced potatoes/hash browns (a lot) with three over medium eggs, couple pieces toast. Lots of sausage gravy and salt and pepper.

Didn't realize you had gone on a diet 

 

OK; yes I'm laughing but it does look super yummy. What I would call 'stick to yer ribs comfort food  

 

[notsmokinjo]

Why is the gravy white?
