What's for tea at your house tonight?

We made homemade pizza last night.

Me too! 


Tonight- I've made a Guinness and Lamb Pie, Boiled Turnip, and Cabbage/Peas - Finish cooking, I'm starving!

I think we are having a wings and ribs kind of night!

We had a couple of lovely rump steaks, homemade peppercorn sauce, sauteed mushrooms, and chips...YUMMY!

Last night I made pasta with a tomato and basil sauce and roasted squash with butter and brown sugar. Awesome... Tonight it was chicken fajita and mexican rice!

Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

I'm sure some of you expert cook already knew this, but I never knew you could cook a whole, unpeeled squash in the crockpot until this morning! I stumbled across the idea on google and decided to try it. Poked a few holes in the skin, put them in on low and came home to squash I could cut in half with a butterknife! So easy to peel and deseed! Granted it would not be good for a recipe that called for cubes of squash but I'm going to try it on a weekend when I can be home to take them out at a firmer stage. Yay for new time saving ideas. 

Teriyaki Salmon Steak and veg (stir fried?)

Homemade boston baked (pinto) beans, although using pork belly not salt pork for the flavouring.

DF and I are using a groupon voucher to go out for a fancy Italian meal and celebrate our 2-year anniversary.

Chipotle. I've been craving it for awhile!

Corn, spinach and courgette enchiladas with beans/rice.

That sounds tasty!

I made pierogies sauteed with lots of onion and butter, sauerkraut, and roasted carrots last night. Tonight, not a clue yet!

Oooh! Great stuff Courtney! I can't wait to try! Thanks!


I made a spicy bean and barley casserole last night, plus some broccoli. I was freezing and wanting something warming. 

Last night we went to Tony Roma's for RIBS!!!    So, so good!

This afternoon I will be making a pot of scouse, and just letting it slow cook all evening till we're back from the pub.  YUMmmmmm.

Chicken and dumplings!
