What do you cook for dinner

What do you cook for dinner when you forgot to go grocery shopping and there’s next to nothing to cook in the fridge and all the stores are closed for Christmas. I’m defrosting lamb now. All I have left is a few carrots and some frozen peas. I have rice. I have potatoes. I make lamb and rice with peas and carrots often but I’m tired of that. Any ideas? My son hates beans. lol

Jacket potato & cheese Tosties& chips Mince or sausage & mash

can you make mashed potatoes and homemade gravy? or fried potatoes and seasoned rice w veggies? you can season the rice with whatever you have in the cabinet or mexican rice is always great

Yellow rice (use turmeric for colour and bullion cube or stock and 1 bay leaf for flavour) toss in some frozen mixed veg and roast the lamb and potatoes

We make fried rice w whatever leftovers we can find in the fridge. For Xmas I hosted a big dinner for extended family though it’s 4am and they’re still here we’re still chilling and chatting lol

Hmm...I don't know if it's the same there. But chinese markets and places are always open. Lol

Can you mash the potatos and make lamb shepherds pie

You can do a tagine with those

So the Hispanic grocery store near me ended up being open so that was nice and my husband decided to cook today so yay. Thanks for the suggestions ladies.

We always have Chinese on Christmas. They are always open for the Jews

Id scramble some eggs and make toast. Cook some bacon if I had any. Breakfast for dinner.

@SquishyMommy1 I’ve been craving Chinese for weeks now but my husband hates it lol

I am making lamb stew. Do you have beef broth/cubes, onion? It feels weird because we usually get donair pizza on Christmas Day to support a Muslim owned business.

@Zainab🗝️ I want pizza lol but my husband is cooking tonight. Idk what he’s making but I’m just grateful I don’t have to stand in the kitchen to make food nobody is gonna eat 🤣

An idea for the future: I’ve been roasting potatoes and carrots with chicken (I’m sure lamb could work), also I like to roast the potatoes and carrots by themselves and then mashing them and add corn, though I bet peas could be a fun additive. What does your son think of refried beans?

@Victoria he won’t eat any kind of bean 🤣 but roasted lamb with potatoes sounds really good.
