I extracted a pork belly from the freezer yesterday and am going to cook it in some cider, onion and any other ingredients I find. I get the same as you, love cooking but struggle to think of different things to cook, we seem to eat the same things all the while. Still got loads of beef and sausage in the freezer so most meals are based round that.
Ha! Great minds think alike, you wrote that while I was writing mine  ;D

Think this should be a daily question, then I'd never have to stand staring into the pantry/freezer again wondering what the hell to cook, I'd just look here!

I have to say i find winter meals much easier to decide what we're having but summer i always find challenging, don't know why, guess i just like winter comfort food the best!

The kitchen is the warmest place in our house in the winter so I'm always in there cooking. Also use the oven by the fire so tend to have slow cooked meals.

Pasta is a great standby.  My favourite is also the easiest. Fry some onions, add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste. Stir into the spaghetti when cooked. Sprinkle over some cheese.
Mmmmm

Beef stew for the 5 carnivores, goodness knows what for the 2 veg-heads. Probably vegetable stew to which my 10 year old will say...what's the option for vegetarians who don't like veggie stew  :huff:

For some reason Wenesday night is spaggy bol nite in our house, i guess its because we have a peak of the week bottle of red wine to go with it  :yum:  I use any leftover bol to make a lasagne to go in the freezer for an emergency meal at a later date (useful in the showing season when i don't want to come home from a show and start cooking, just have to remember to tak eit out of the freezer before we leave!)

This time of the year its always....Oops ive got a huge courgette that escaped notice, what do you want to make with that/
(peel, chop into cubes,put a littltle water in a pan just to cover the bottem, add the courgette/marrow, garlic and seasoning. When cooked, whiz, add a little quark/cream cheese/ sour cream/whatever. pour over pasta or eat just as it is...yum)
today its going to be beans or some toms...they both need picking...and the spinach needs cutting AGAIN!

Right due to my courgette glut I'm having that for lunch! If it's peeled the kids won't know the courgettes either, bonus!  :thumbsup:

Im in the process of making a huge batch of beefburgers, so OH wants a couple in buns with salad for dinner tonight. I may have the same, but then again, I havent had any fish for a while so I may steam a trout and have that with salad.
