What you having for tea tonight?
 

I was just interested in what others were having for tea tonight...see if I can get some ideas...

We're having: chicken, carrots, cabbage, swede and roast parsnips. Plus roastpotatoes, gravy and a little mash for my boyfriend and his daughter.

Probably some strawberries for dessert if I'm hungry later.

Just curious - is tea like dinner? We're having baked tilapia, brown rice and asparagus. Sugar-free Jello with strawberries and ff whipped cream for dessert. :)

Tea is dinner. I'mwhat you'd probably call "common" so in my house we call it tea :D

Bangers with honey, dijon, and lemon sauce, and carrot mash. Hot chocolate afterwards :) I worked out extra hard today so it tasted all that better!

That sounds really nice! I'm so jealous.

we are having chicken breast with cauliflower mash and roasted veggies!

Omelette with tons of tomatoes, peppers n onions in it, and depending how hard I work out some ham too! Can't wait to be back in the UK and have more healthy eating options, I'm so over stir frys everyday now!

Haha, is it sick I'm jealous of your cauliflower mash? :D I've been craving it for a few days. Making it tonight!

I'm guessing cauliflower mash tastes better than it sounds?! I love cauli, but think it's texture is part of the appeal, can't quite imagine it mashed!

cauliflower mash is also a great way of getting kids to eat vegetables without them even knowing :carrot:
tea for me tonight is salmon with cous-cous and roasted veggies mmmm

Oh wow Tamara, that sounds lovely!

haha its not sick u want cauli mash its lovely! it really does make u think ur having 'real' mash! i boil my cauli in water with very low sodium chicken stock cubes then put the cauli in the food processor till it goes nice and creamy LOVE IT! i always feel really full when i have it, oh no im hungry now and ive just had my lunch hehe :D

oh and tamara i love salmon! its just a bit too expensive for us right now, ive got my mum here for a few weeks so ive got an extra adult to feed, im actually jealous now lol

I love the sound of this cauliflower mash! Definitely going to try that!

I'm going out tonight, so will be having ajacket potato, a few crabsticks and a side salad.

i make cottage pie with cauli mash on the top, i use extra lean beef mince to cut down calories/fat content, and then top the cauli mash with lowlow cheese, i use 15 grams per person as thats half a persons daily allowance (on south beach diet) that is one of my favourite meals!

Unfortunately, you have caught me on my cheat day (anniversary dinner!!!). DH is taking me to an American themed BBQ place in Chester :) Oh gord, this is going to be a great night!

Prior to this lovely surprise, it was going to be a chicken rice with veggies :)

Unfortunately, no mash tonight. Went to a housewarming party and ended up having tea there. Tonights dinner was tuna, popcorn, and a glass of merlot :) Not quite nutrient rich, but within my cals, so it could have been worse. Cauli-mash tomorrow though!

Missjessica - i wish i could have a glass of merlot! im having a glass of diet coke tonight as treat sssooo exciting LOL!

we ate out at lunch time, and i kinda went a bit mad, so counteracted it with some roast chicken and a giant salad for tea!

Mummyof3 - Haha, you are pretty wild! The wine was a treat for me as well.

Tonight it's roast chicken with courgette and cauli-mash, yum!

tonight it's vegetarian chili con carne. Miss having lean mince to put in it, but the veggie versions not too bad. I'd blooming love a sunday roast!

Ooo I have some quorn mince in my freezer and it really needs eating up. I might make myself chilli with that this week :D

What do you have it with? Rice or jacket potato? I much prefer a jacket potato.

Yeah jacket potato for sure. Ending up eating way too much rice when eating out, as it comes with EVERYTHING! So, never eat it at home

i looove veggie chili! i have to get ingredients for it next shopping day! yummy cant wait :)

We are going round future MIL tonight for tea, think we are having a roast, chicken, I will have everything bar the roast pot, and swede and carrot before butter gets put in it, bet they think I am so fussy!!!!

You have given me some ideas for mon and tues, thanks girls :) I have never tried cauliflower mash, mummyof3 going to try it on top of cottage pie like you did.We have extra lean mince in the freezer. Yummy, hoping OH will eat it too :) and veggie chili for tues, and will make enough for wed too, may do jacket pot one night and I bought some quinoa, so may try that on wed :)

MissJessica - i know i live on the edge me lol!

well tonight im having moroccan lamb with spinach, chickpeas and courgette

Really wish i could eat qourn but im severely allergic to it, it only affects around 1 in 250,000, it would be me wouldnt it! :(

Chili eaten, it was delicious, shame I want chocolate too now!

also when you blend the cauliflower, add some stock (low sodium of course) and u can also add a tablespoon of half fat creme fraiche, then of course when u add to the meat sprinkle the lowlow cheese on top an grill till golden, is ssoo nice like that, oh and i managed to get my husband to eat it and he is so resistant to change, hope you enjoy!!! :)


http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/purpvi...0/133/182/.png

:) Thanks will do, I have some quark, we dont have any half fat creme fraiche, do you think that would be ok? If not can grab some tomorrow. Will let you know what OH thinks :) xxxx

quark is fine hun just use a tblsp of it and no more! im having a really hungry today, im always like this on a sunday as its my day off from cleaning, washing school runs and exercise, i might do the ironing early to take my mind of it lol



http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/purpvi...0/133/182/.png

Thanks will add just 1 tblsp.

Don't know if it helps, but when i am having a hungry day i always try to drink more to fill me up :) I usually have a big cuppa with skimmed milk, or if I am being extra healthy green tea with cranberry, works for a bit :)

Have fun ironing :) xxx

have to admit ive 3 cups of tea already today! i drink tonnes of water anyway so it doesnt really help with the hunger, and i hate green tea, just made my kids cheese muffins for dinner and i was so tempted to take a bite out of it lol! gonna do my ironing then have a fat free yogurt with grapes mixed in, think that will do the trick! enjoy ur tea tonight and let me know how it went down with your OH x


http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/purpvi...0/133/182/.png

:) Well done on the water, I certainly need to drink more, bought some limes, so I can add some flavour the other day. I don't like normal green tea, I have to have something with it hence the cranberry. Stay away from the cheese muffins :)

Going to cook the cottage pie tomorrow as round future MIL tonight, but yep, will let you know.

I like the total fat free yog yummy. xxx

YUM! This just sent me Googling for a recipe :) Tomorrow night's tea - check!

Ok i have to confess im now not having the moroccan lamb tonight im cheating and having a chinese takeaway! oh well i havent cheated once in 6 weeks so i think i deserve it :D



http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/purpvi...0/133/182/.png

That's funny because the recipe made me so hungry for Moroccan Chicken that I swapped and we had that tonight instead, SO good! I put it over cauli-mash and couscous. Even funnier? I had Chinese yesterday :) Great job on 6 straight weeks, fun meals are definitely needed every now and then!

MissJessica - did u enjoy the cauli mash then? it makes me think im having "real" mash so im always really full afterwards! and well its the morning after the night before and as well as having the chinese takeaway, i do confess, i also had 2 walnut whips and 8 sticks of mathcmakers OOPPSSS lol! back on it today though, but after last night im only expecting, if im lucky, to lose a pound :o

tonight I'm having left over chili in an omlette, we'll see how it tastes! SO hungry, but gotta get my exercise in before dinner, better do it soon then!

That sounds so nice. I'm really jealous of your chilli omelette!

Jacket potato with prawn coleslaw ... i love it :)
