Talisman Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I have decided to put them in a nice vegetable stroganoff instead - with lots of soya cream and white wine. Quote
itsmeagain Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Cutting down on dairy? Good for you talisman. Quote
Talisman Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) We do try and limit the amount of dairy we eat, as although I am okay with it, it does affect Coran. I find that stroganoff tastes nicer with soya cream though anyway. I bought another nice lot of veggies at work today - a huge cauliflower, a big bag of potatoes, some spinach (they let me have that free), a big bunch of spring onions, some beans and 2 lovely courgettes - and all for a fiver. Sainsbury's loss is their gain ! Tonight though we are having egg and chips ... Edited July 18, 2014 by Talisman Quote
itsmeagain Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Good move you leaving your cleaning job Talisman. All that free veg... Quote
Talisman Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 It's not free - I have to pay for it. They let me have the spinach for free as otherwise it would have just wilted. It's still cheaper than the supermarkets though and tastes a million miles better, plus I know I am supporting our clients who grow most of it. Quote

Nothing better than fresh grown veggies or from a home garden! Especially with spinach, tomatoes and avocado's. I have wishes of Muggle Not's garden! Quote

I have wishes of Muggle Not's garden! There is absolutely nothing better than a tomato sandwich with a home grown tomato. Home grown tomatoes are completely different and sooooo much better than store bought. Quote

Home grown tomatoes are completely different and sooooo much better than store bought. I love the little red and yellow ones! And Heirlooms are to die for! Just a lil olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some garlic- mmmmmmm.... just like bruschetta. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 OH has made a gorgeous vegetable lasagne tonight with aubergine, courgette, peppers, mushroom and onion. Quote
Talisman Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 We had a nice roast with veggie burgers, the potatoes (which were gorgeous - really soft and buttery) and cauliflower from work and from organic carrots from the supermarket, not forgetting the roasted red onion. I will have the leftover roast potatoes cold in a salad for lunch at work tomorrow. From the look of their greenhouses, they may have tomatoes for sale again next week. The onions and parsnips are coming along nicely too. Quote
muggle not Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Last night we had zucchini lasagna, sautéed zucchini (dipped in beaten egg and then panko crumbs with parmesan cheese), sliced tomato and cucumbers from my garden, and a bottle of excellent rioja wine. Quote
muggle not Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Smoked pork chops, cabbage and noodles and sliced tomatoes from the garden. Quote
Anna Begins Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Chicken and prosciutto tortellini with Vodka sauce and garlic bread with real garlic. Quote
Talisman Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Goats cheese on toast with fresh tomatoes (again from the garden at work - delicious). They had fresh apricots as well this week. Quote
bobblybear Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I think we're having Cornish Pasties tonight. Yummy! Quote
bobblybear Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 It's Sunday night, so roast chicken dinner tonight. Quote
Talisman Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 We had a nice omelette made with organic eggs and filled with fresh herbs (not sure what they were, but there was some thyme in there) from the garden at work with a nice crisp salad with the various winter salad leaves that I also bought from work - harvested fresh this morning. Quote
Ben Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 We had shepherd's pie - which is usually delicious - sadly I've been ill all day and as such didn't enjoy it as much as normal. I think there might be some leftover for lunch tomorrow however, so fingers crossed for that. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Had to fend for myself tonight, but scavenging in the fridge, I found a bit of double gloucester and some mushrooms, so had a delicious omelette. Quote
Ben Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Chicken, carrots, broccoli and mash potato tonight. Yum. Quote
muggle not Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Last night had Clams Linguine with a red sauce. Oh, and some Columbia Crest Great Estate Merlot, pretty good for a $7.97 per bottle price Tonight it will be tuna fish sandwiches and tomato soup. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Roasted tomato and mozzarella pasta bake - we roast the tomatoes on the vine with garlic and olive oil in the summer when they're at their best, then freeze the sauce so we can use it during the cold months when the tomatoes are out of season, and we can still have our favourite pasta dish!

That sounds delicious, Claire! Was out over at the girlfriend's place tonight and her mum cooked for us. Just spaghetti bolognase with some freshly grated cheese so nothing exciting, but very tasty and a favourite of mine! Edited November 15, 2014 by Ben Quote
