Going out for dinner tonight as it's our anniversary :)
 
Probably having 0.5 Syn sausages, mash, mushy peas and onion gravy. Not really what you'd call a Sunday Roast but should be quite tasty and won't have to clean the oven afterwards! :D

Thank you so much for this, can't wait to try it out :)
 
Sausage casserole over pasta. Having a lazy today and no potatoes in so improvising a bit!
 
I'm trying to get my head back in the game after a couple of months not following the plan at all and not surprisingly putting on over half a stone!! ?
So dinner today was a beef stew type thing - beef, carrots, onions and mushrooms all thrown in the slow cooker with beef stock. And we had it with boiled potatoes.
 
I have cajun chicken & veg roasting in the oven along with rosemary & garlic roast baby potatoes smells yum! hope it tastes as good as it smells! :)
 
Jerk pork from this months mag, with corn on the cob, braised red cabbage & stir fried green beans with spring onion, garlic & chilli flakes. Yum yum yum :)
