    Your regular meal ideas?

    Someone in another thread got me thinking that people out there must have a list of their regular/standard meals- not one off magazine recipe try-outs or special occasion meals but what some term Tuesday Night Cooking. Would you like to share what you cook on a regular basis? Eg some of mine
    Pataks chicken curry
    Mince things- spag bol, sheperds pie, pie etc
    Stuffed chicken breast and salad or vegies
    Frittata or quiche and salad/vegies
    Pasta with lemon, tuna, rocket and capers.

    So I am looking for some fresh new ideas, really!

    Meat & three veg (chops, steaks or sausages)
    Honey soy chicken drumsticks with rice
    On a real lazy day fried rice & spring rolls (I think that's what they are called? My brain just died...lol)
    Risotto
    Tuna pasta/mornay
    Spag bol (of course!)
    there are probably others but can't think of them right now!

    Stirfries, stirfries & more stirfries.. I would live on them if DH would let me!
    Curries, curries & more curries...DH is quite happy to live on these so we do lots of Tikka Masala, Vindaloo (which isn't that hot really, I was expecting to have my tastbuds burnt off but nada!) & Thai Greens & Reds - always have jars of paste in the fridge.
    Pad Thai
    Chilli con carne - only a little mince and lots of beans
    Chicken pasta with ham & brocoli

    That's all I can think of at the moment...we don't really do very many spag bols tbh, I'm not really into them. I still love a tuna mornay/pasta but don't do them very often at all these days.
