Monday- Curry
Tuesday - Lasagne
Wed- an Iranian dish
thursday- fish dish
so tonight is going to be to beef stroganoff.

please I need more ideas, can you help?;)

I made thai fishcakes the other day - they were great! (if I do say so myself)

How about beef bourgingnon (sp?) it's basicaly coq au vin with beef, or I did a lovely casserole with beef and guiness served with veg and horseradish mash. I used a can of guiness and topped up with stock, or you can use any beer. I also put whole baby onions in, it's a real winter dish so might be best for when the weather is chilly.

That was my first choice then I thought have chicken, but then i thought i prefer beef stroganff, the smell is so yummy, I'm just waitin for the OH to come home to pour the cream on it. your other recipe sounds really yummy I'll give it a go too, my children are my testers they tell me if I have done good job or not.;)

Swordfish steaks with any sort seasoning sprinkled on top. Bake on tray in hot oven for about 14-15 mins. Don't overcook. You can do salmon the same way.

Pasta bakes - good with chicken or tuna pieces quick-fried first.

Chicken Paprika with sour cream-slice chicken breast into pieces (or use whole chicken thighs if prefer) and seal in olive oil, add paprika (as much as you can handle!), can chopped tomatoes, garlic. cook til tender then take off the heat & stir in 2 large dollops of creme fraiche/sour cream. Serve with saute potatoes, green salad and large glass of red.

Mmmmm..:p

Irish stew has loads of versions usually lamb chops or neck end of lamb, potatoes carrots and onion
or you can use beef and add some guiness or stout.:thumbsup:

have fun babe if you want recipes pm me

Isn't cottage pie beef (no veggies) and shepherd pie lamb (with chopped veggies in it)?

also just found good recipe for wiener Schnitzel, I shall do that tomorrow,

mmm not very good with British cooking I bet shepherds pie is dead easy to make, is it the same as cottage pie? what do I put in Irish stew that sounds intersting, Fried chicken its another good idea i havent done corn fritters for ages so I'll try it, for next week.
