Anyone got any yummy food recipes?

[Louise88]

Planning on what to cook for dinner for oh finishing work and absolutely have no ideas what to cook! I've been having massive cravings for cheesy pasta so I think my oh will spew if he sees that on his plate again lol I want to cook something different from lasagne, pasta bake and Shepard pie as I make these far to often. Any recipes or ideas would be great thanks

I personally love BBQ based foods and it's a shame your OH is burnt out on "cheesy pasta" because I was going to offer a great recipe for macaroni and cheese done by scratch. Nonetheless you can still make an awesome dinner.

I am going to give you my BBQ pulled chicken recipe. It comes out so juicy, flavorful, and falling apart in just a short amount of time that it's unreal and you can base the sauce off of your own persona taste.

Ingredients (8 servings)

-2 lbs boneless chicken breast
-a few pinches of pepper (and salt if desired, I don't use salt)
-1 onion (chopped)
-2 garlic cloves (chopped)
-2 cups or 16 ounces of your favorite BBQ sauce (I prefer sweet and smokey sauces)
-BBQ dry rub
-1/2 cup or 4.3 ounces of apple cider vinegar
-1 table spoon of hot sauce (optional)
-Monterrey jack cheese
-2 table spoons of light brown sugar
-Kaiser buns or sweet Hawaiian rolls (my personal favorite)
-Some other options to suit your taste are ketchup, lemon peel, ground mustard,Worcestershire sauce, and so on. You can add as little or as much as you want, the same with the above. It's just the amounts I like to use.


First, dry rub the chicken with a light amount of pepper. Then place in a heavy pot with onion, garlic cloves, and just enough water to cover the chicken. Once you have put just enough water in the pot to cover the chicken you need to add the BBQ sauce, vinegar, and your hot sauce if you're using any. Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Set your time and allow it to cook for a good 15-20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred it with two forks, it will fall apart easily. Put the shredded chick in a large bowl and set to the side. Next, you're going to boil the sauce, skimming occasionally, until it's reduced by half. This takes about 15ish minutes. Add the sauce to the chicken and toss lightly to coat it evenly.

Then spoon heaping of the pulled chicken onto thick kaiser buns and sprinkle shredded Monterrey jack cheese on top of the meat. Serve and enjoy!

You can add grilled corn on the cob, double baked and loaded potatoes, salad, onion rings, corn nuggets, green beans, potato salad, broccoli, baked beans, cole slaw, au gratin potatoes, etc as side dishes. You can do whatever you want to go along with it. The recipe is super easy and I love making it because it cooks so fast and everyone loves it.

If you try it I hope it suits your taste buds - I have not had one person complain yet about this recipe.

Risotto? Contrary to popular belief it's dead easy to make! I use onions, mushrooms and garlic as my base fried off in a little oil, add aborio rice and stir through to obsorb any moisture (and white wine if you add that too!) Add stock and cook for 12 - 15 stirring occasionally!

Just before you serve add some grated cheese for extra creaminess and seasoning and enjoy!

You can have any type of filling, bacon and roast butternut squash is a favourite here, as it pea and mint.

Chilli con carne? It's so easy and if you make extra, I just put it in the fridge when it cools down and have it the next day/night with a jacket potato and salad! Do you need the recipe hun? Xx

Greenbeans....I have just had to mop up my drool from that recipe.....*making Homer noises*

As others said risotto....I always add a big dollop of philli cheese or boursin to it at the end to make it really creamy.

Tacos
Fajitas
Enchiladas
Stir Fry

Three bean veggie chilli ?! We were massive meat eaters but I wanted to cut down and be really healthy and that dish is just so hearty and you really don't miss meat at all.

I've got lots but tonight I made baked marinated chicken with spanish potatoes and salad...the Spanish potatoes were so nice it's just 4 large potatoes diced, cooked and cooled then you heat sliced onion in a frying pan with the potatoes and olive oil and fry for a few minutes, add diced red pepper, minced garlic smoked paprika and cumin and fry for a few more minutes, then the juice and zest of 2 limes, a splash of cider vinegar, salt and pepper and loads of fresh herbs so fresh and summery!

I've been looking for a potato dish to serve with fish and this sounds perfect!

Yeah it would be great with fish! Check out the Abel and Cole website, I get weekly fruit and veg boxes from them and it is one of the recipes from their cookbook. I changed the recipe a bit though, I added the garlic and used smoked paprika instead of regular paprika because its soooo much nicer!

I made fishcakes last night that were well nice. A few pieces of cooked fish (we had salmon, haddock and cod.. and a few prawns because there were just there ), sweet potato, white potato, a little chopped samphire, chives, onion, sea salt and a teeny bit of fish stock.
Mush it all together, let it cool, shape into cakes then dip in egg (and breadcrumbs/batter if you like but we're being healthy!) - and cook in the oven for a bit. I served them with extra samphire and a rocket salad. Lush!

Found a tasty sounding recipe for french dip sandwiches done in the slow cooker. I'm planning on doing it monday while I have to be gone for several hours in the afternoon for a non-stress test.
