Last night I prepared BBQ food but we had to have it indoors again because it got windy and cold

Anyway, we had a couple of mates coming over and one is vegetarian so I made 'cheesy veggie burgers'. They have leeks, carrots, mushrooms, kidney beans, tomato puree, cheddar and breadcrumbs in them and were absolutely delicious. I made a big batch and froze some of them. Glad I did now as I'll definitely do them again for us

Also made some olive bread which looked like chelsea buns. Was gorgeous and very impressive to look at

Just made steak diane, apparently the whole meal came in at under 350 calories which sounded suspiciously good. Twas quite nice, the sauce was delicious but we didn't really make enough of it.

I just made something using whatever was left in the fridge - fried some cubed ham in pesto, added some creme fraiche, and dolloped the lot into some spaghetti. Delicious!

Can't go wrong with a bit of creme fraiche when it comes to pasta. Veg + bacon/ham/meat + creme fraiche = Win. My favourite is chorizo + leeks + green beans + mushrooms + creme fraiche.

We're having chicken, chorizo and veg (courgette, red onion, peppers, mushrooms, garlic cloves etc.) thrown in a roasting tin and baked for 45mins or so. I do it quite a lot when I'm feeling lazy because it's so simple yet so tasty. We'll be finishing off our fancy olive bread swirls with it (I'll post a pic of them later).

This is what I like about curry, there's always a different one to try. It's a shame that a lot of people just get the same old thing every time they have a curry. I used to be the same and just get a chicken biriyani as it was a fairly safe option, but no more!

Same here, Love trying new things. Just a shame most curry places literally have 5 words describing stuff.

By doing that I discovered Paratha which is such a nice bread, yet everyone goes for Naan all the time.

I can happily say we've tried most of the currys from our local takeaway and discovered some real gems. Some you are best not sharing long car journeys the following morning but tasted great the night before
