DINNER BLUES

I find the daily cooking of the evening meal such a drag! I cook the same meals week after week and really have to drag myself into the kitchen to cook each night. I am so bored and uninspired by our meals!!!! I’m fine cooking for guests and can put on a nice meal but daily cooking is another story. Does anyone else get this way? Any ideas for quick healthy weekday meals for a family? Thought we could share our staple faves with each other for inspiration!!! PLEASSSSE????

    Tonight will feed the boys chicken pesto pasta with some deconstructed salad to the side, they all eat different veg and don`t like it mixed argh!

    Anyway struggling big time to find some new inspiration, meal planning is the worst, hoping for some new ideas 😉

    After hubby had bought that huge roast which gave us 2 roasts…tonight, it was chop the meat all up, add grated carrot and peas, onion, seasoning and putting mashed potato on top. My mum`s version of Shepherd`s Pie. Enough to have tomorrow night also.

    Wow that mammoth lamb has certainly gone a long way.

    Your dinner sounds so yumm Indie!!! I love the slow cooker too! My fav is a big spaghetti sauce with sausage and mince and lots of garlic! I could eat that for days! Haha but last night we got sushi! So much sushi! Haha when I order the lady always laughs and asks if it is me. I may have a sushi problem

    Now that sounds really yummy Indie – it too love scalloped potatoes. I love using the slow cooker also.

    I`ve been using the slow cooker a lot lately. Today a sliced potatoes thinly and placed them in the bottom of the slow cooker then placed some lamb chops on top. I`ll be making a sauce using cream of chicken soup so it will be like a scalloped potato dish, will also add some veg as a side

    Always up for inspiration:-) tonight I`m making stuffed zucchini`s in a tomato based soup. It`s stuffed with rice and mince. If you want to keep in vegan you can use nuts instead or use quinoa instead of rice 🙂

    With all the dinner talk in the chatting thread, I was going to revive this, I`m shocked that the last post was almost 5 years ago though!!
