What's some of your summer dinner time menus?

Theres only so much chicken and salad one can eat

A chicken thing my mum makes.....
Chicken chunks with cucumber, red pepper, pineapple and onion (cut finely) mixed through with cold rice and dressed with a sauce (salad cream, lemon juice, curry powder and some canderel or sweetner). It's actually a weight watchers dish and is yummy with new baked or new tatties, or some lovely crunchy bread!!

I wish I knew the exact amounts for the sauce but my mum just makes it to taste now, she's an amazing cook and baker but it's impossible to try and copy anything she makes!!

Another one is just tuna pasta with sweetcorn but the sauce is half mayo and half salad cream, v tasty!

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Im the same, I just do it by eye - Steve often asks me 'how much' when he's cooking but I can't tell him as I just do it

 

[megsmeadow]

Oh I'm awful at cooking, get myself so stressed out at timings and all the rest but funny it's me that does it even though my OH is fairly good in the kitchen and actually enjoys it. Hang on, there's something not right here!!

Salmon with a parsley, thyme, orange rind and breadcrumb crust baked in orange juice served with new potatoes and green beans, tuna with homemade salsa with asparagus and side salad, homemade chicken nuggets with potato skins and salad. We tend to eat lots of salad in the summer but I use different dressings and ingrediants x one of my faces is quail with a layered salad of different lettuces, cucumber, red peppers, different coloured tomatoes, basil, parsley and dressed with a lemon herb dressing x

Oh you will have to ask her to share her yummy recipe for the sauce with rough amounts that then can be topped as per taste?
