Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we will be making burritos for dinner this weekend. Still deciding what to fill them with. At the very least, there will be portabella mushrooms involved.
If I go out at all I'll get some corn tortillas and make enchiladas! I do have corn meal so could just make a tamale pie.
I'm gonna cook pintos either way!
Now I'll use all my fresh 'imperfect' veggies to make a chopped salad, as my sons only salad if it's already made :rolleyes:

The black bean and potato soup we had on Thursday was delicious and there were black beans and a sweet potato left over so I made a curry yesterday which turned out even nicer than expected. I will definitely make more use of sweet potatoes in the future! Don't know what we are eating tonight - it'll be something with pasta I think. We have plenty of stuff in the fridge, freezer and cupboard so I don't have to buy anything.
 
I have leftover spaghetti and sauce from my dad's birthday dinner, so I will add meatless balls and Violfe Parmesan to that for dinner tonight.

Sounds good, as usual. PTree's restaurant.

I'm also having pan roasted aubergines in passata and spices with ww spaghetti plus grated violife.
A glass of red wine.

I cooked the dish when I got up at 5 am this morning.:up:

We ended up making enchiladas instead of burritos. I did an internet search for traditional Cinco de Mayo dishes and enchiladas were heavily cited. The version we made was filled with corn, black beans, zucchini, onions and mushrooms, and garnished with tomatoes, onion, avocado and lime. We got two full meals out of it.

No recipe selected for this coming weekend yet. Stay tuned for that, I guess.

I'm missing the wine, though, hehe. I might find myself an inexpensive bottle today if get out of the house. We finally have an OK day to open the windows, so I can finish the little bit of painting I have left in the kitchen. Then I'll be officially done with the painting in the kitchen! So it's good that I have leftovers. :D
 
I had a Beyond Burger on a toasted ciabatta roll with mustard, onions, pickles and Violife Parmesan. I have to say the BB tastes as good cooked at home as it does at a restaurant. I will get them again when they go on sale again.

They really are the pb best burgers that I've ever tasted.

This weekend recipe has been chosen. We are making twice-baked potatoes with a spinach and mushroom filling. I've never made twice-baked potatoes before, so I am excited to try something new. We'll probably end up making a small batch for dinner Saturday, since Sunday is Mother's Day in the U.S. and my boyfriend's father has plans in the works for that.
