Awww Wild hope you feel better hun!!

Mmmmmm I had lamb, potatoes and veg for dinner tonight no room for pudding though I am stuffed and I think I ate half what Joshua is putting away lol

haha new, I get full so easily now! I really fancy a roast dinner, yum! On tuesday I am going to do homemade mac and cheese, I put a little dash of Worcestershire sauce and a teeny bit of mustard into the cheese sauce and it is sooo good. not sure what to have with it though, maybe cherry tomatoes and homemade spicy wedges... I wish I could have it now, but got no macaroni in.

 

[new_to_ttc]

I dont like sauces and stuff like that lol I can stomach a tomato based sauce on pasta but thats it, I like my food plain and simple lol I dont eat anything fancy as such or wow lol Im happy with meat and veg or pasta with a little sauce lol

 

[Wiggler]

I adore roast dinners, my OH makes them and when he does the roast potatoes he leaves the skin on and they are sooo good. Forget the rest of the dinner I could just have a plate of them tatties with some gravy!

when i make my roast potatoes, i dice them in quarters then i sprinkle them with sea salt and pepper then put fresh pieces of rosemary and garlic under the potatoes , then drizzle with olive oil... and put foil over them let them cook for 15 min like that then remove the foil and pi under the broiler for 3-5 min so they get golden and crispy... sooo good

my husband cooks really good cuban food, thats about it.. and thats the only food i dont excel with haha

 

[Wiggler]

Ooh them potatoes sound sooo good!!

OH can't cook much from scratch but he makes an amazing roast dinner. I couldn't even fry an egg when we met and its really only the past 6 months that I have learnt to cook.

I would love to make loads of different sauces and freeze them ready for use, just need to get some containers and some good recipes

 

[hopefulmama]

Thanks! I never knew how to cook till about 4 1/2 years ago haha... i could cook easy stuff like pasta, eggs, grill chicken, simple stuff.. then once i got married i wanted to learn how to cook so i just watched a lot of cooking shows and taught myself and my first big meal was a roast chicken which was so hard for the 1st time but now its my best dish i make.. then i started to get very experimental and realized i actually could cook well and started baking a lot.. now i love it and make my own salad dressings, sauces, & marinades... i've come a long way haha.

I can cook lol, I make amazing meals for the family, I just dont like them much. I often make fancy foods and freeze them so Joshua gets them because he loves everything lol I love baking too, I make great novelty cakes hehe Really light and fluffy sponges mmmmm I sometimes wish I loved all the different foods and flavours, I just cant bring myself to eat it lol

 

[hopefulmama]

I was just walking my dogs and just got this wave of a funny feeling, then it got worse so i hurried home and now i am just all dizzy and light headed, and i have eaten loads of foods today.. what a scary feeling. so now i am drinking a ginger ale and pineapple to get some sugars in my system if thats the reason...

 

[luckyme225]

Haha, just listening to this thread I'm making a mental note of things I want to make for dinner this week.

Hopeful- hope the drink helps.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Ahhh hopeful you feeling any better now hun???

Lol Lucky... you lot talk about loads of foods... nothing takes my fancy ha ha ha

 

[hopefulmama]

Ya its starting to kick in and i feel better, i guess i just didn't eat enough things with natural sugars, i ate plain oatmeal for breakfast, then carrots, and then cheese plate with crackers.. maybe i just needed some sugar and protein who knows.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yes maybe! Glad you feeling better

 

[hopefulmama]

Thanks! I can't wait for dinner tonight, i made this amazing rub for my pork loin then cut slits into and put some garlic in the slits then but rosemary and thyme with some lemon slices and olive oil in a zip lock back and have been massaging it all into the pork the last couple hours to get the flavors in there. I actually have decided to make a potato puree for a side instead of the roasted potatoes, sounded yummier hahah, also made a banana cream pie for dessert!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh that will soon have your energy levels back up!!! Hope it all tastes as lovely as it sounds

 

[hopefulmama]

yes but sadly will not be eating it for another 4/5 hours hahaha

 

[Wiggler]

Ooh! that sounds really good!

I'm quite liking the fact that the weather is getting colder, it means I can pig out on "wintery food" roast dinners, stews, deep fill pies, soups with crusty bread in the evening.

 

[new_to_ttc]

4/5 hours oooooo so long to wait lol I couldnt be fussed preparing a meal for that long lolol Right now I eat when Im hungry, and planning ahead just doesnt happen lol Really really wanted cheesecake other day so dashed to supermarket had to buy a frozen one... waited all day for it to defrost, then I wasnt in the mood lol

Not to giddy about wintery foods either hehe Im so happy with a simple salad, or meat and potatoes lolol Oh dear I have no idea how I dont have a fussy child lol He will eat every food given to him he just loves everything, and will try all things new lol

 

[Wiggler]

Hehe, I really wanted a cheesecake a few weeks ago, when it defrosted i didn't want any so OH took it into work to share with everyone!

I hope Dylan isn't fussy when he starts eating better, he is quite good at the moment and will try almost anything, getting him to eat a decent amount however is another story!

 

[hopefulmama]

its not that takes 4/5 hrs to make, we just don't eat dinner till around 9 pm haha
