Tonight's dinner, which I tend to have about once a week:
Bacon (well, of course ).
Leeks
Carrot
Baby new potatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
Rosemary
Just all churned up into a glorious mess.
I hope someone comes in here with a simple, filling yet tasty dish involving healthy vegetables, as I'm not very good at getting enough of those.
Oh, another I have about weekly that's really easy:
Chicken breast
Mediterranean vegetables (red onion, mixed peppers, cherry tomatoes, courgettes - bought as ready-prepared mix, otherwise I'll waste loads)
Marinade: Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, freshly ground black pepper
Brown rice ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Sounds as though you're getting your share of vegetables.... I like an "all in one", too, also saves on the washing-up. Roast vegetables is good as an all-in-one. Spuds, carrots, butternut squash, ONIONS, radishes, parsnips, a little bit of celery - perhaps - whatever else comes to hand, you can always put broccoli or cabbage or peas etc. in too part way. Or stick the lot in a pot, boil it for a bit, and squish it wiith the potato masher. |

I hsd planned to cook an Iranian lamb curry with chickpeas.
However one hoard of grandkids (3) got foisted on us so I chickened out of cooking and got a family bucket of Kentucky Fried Rat.
It also gave me time to play with the Tomy trainset with the eldest boy. The Girl wasn't allowed to play with the trains though, it's a boys toy. She played with her dolls.

Sounds good. I'll have to try something along those lines. Long time since I had roast veg of that kind, since roast meats are a bit on the expensive side for me, and I'm not keen on using up as cold cuts later. I could always throw a chicken breast in again for a bit of protein without much fat. I'm not one of those dreadful vegetarian weirdos
One-pot is my speciality: Bolognese, curries, casseroles and stews. As I live alone, they're easy to put together in large amounts, then split down and freeze in single helpings. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Am on self catering holiday in Wales.
To keep me warm from the rain, yesterday I did eat a meal I like to have at home once a week.
A pair of pan fried filet steaks, 3 fried eggs, a pile of steamed buttered broccoli and some dry fried halloumi.
Out for dindins later, found a nice dog friendly pub for Sunday Roast. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I will never buy another Chinese takeaway now I've had some practice at doing my own Chinese-style food. You can get everything you need in your average supermarket now, and it's one of the quickest and easiest things to do. I keep tins of water chestnuts and bamboo shoot slices all the time now, along with a few other bits, so all I have to do is buy fresh veg when I want to do it. Oyster sauce FTW! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Anyway, since you keep emphasising it, perhaps you could clarify your definition of "simple" food? Everything I've mentioned in here so far, I would consider as simple.
Another one I like for breakfast or lunch - fillet of smoked mackerel and scrambled eggs on toast - the bread for the toast to be of the roughest wholemeal I can find, and the eggs...yup, with freshly ground black pepper! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Favourite summer dish:
Chicken thighs, boned but skin on.
Marinade*: Olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, crushed garlic, cumin, coriander (ground), chopped chillies, salt, pepper. Should end up the consistency of a thick paste.
Grilled on one of those ridged grill pans, and served with a simple salad, and the roughest wholemeal rolls I can find.
Essential!: squeeze wedges of fresh limes, and generously sprinkle salt over salad to serve. Also, empty pan juices over the chicken on the plate.
*I call it a marinade, but you don't want the chicken to sit in it for too long, or you'll never get the skin to go crispy. 20mins at most. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Another regular:
Chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
Olive oil
Chopped green peppers.
Tinned chopped tomatoes.
Sliced onions
Garlic (crushed)
Paprika (ordinary or smoked)
Cayenne pepper
Salt
Cooked in a large pan, served with long-grain rice. Good one for freezing in single servings.
For a slightly more complicated version, replace green peppers with yellow and red, and add slices of chorizo. I keep thinking this version needs a herb too, but haven't decided which would be best. Something with a bit of 'zing', I reckon. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I wanted to do enough to have a snack later
No, got 5 servings total from that, 4 gone in separate pots for freezing. Works out at under 3 quid a meal. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
