WHAT'S FOR DINNER? ~ Feeding a family of 5

What's for dinner? is a question I sometimes dread so it's my mission to bring inspiration & easy to follow, affordable recipes to you!
Our family of 5 includes 3 adults (I feel so strange typing that about our 18 year old son!) & 2 teenage boys of 13 & 16 who believe me can eat A LOT! It can be challenging to keep them full while providing a varied diet and not spending an absolute fortune!
So if you are looking for ideas to keep your kids full or just some inspiration on how to make easy, budget friendly dinners then this is the channel for you 💗
Enjoy! Vicki xx

Would love to see lunches!! I struggle with lunch ideas for myself

[@kathrynlangton9289]

Thank you Vicky some really nice ideas can’t wait to try the pie looks yummy. 💗

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Definitely try it and make your own adjustments, it was so so nice 🥰

[@karenpridmore7955]

Great meals. That chicken bacon & leek pie , what's not to love !! Yeah I reckon that woukd make a great lasagne filling as well. I woukd love to try a chicken in my air fryer but I don't think I would get 1 in!! Good breakfast ideas , I tend to stick yo same thing, either avocado 🥑 on toast or ryvitas, same with tuna , cheese spread, peanut butter or marmite. Occasionally have cereals just depends. Those hot cross buns do look good tho. Am partial to hot cross buns but usually I just like the plain ones ( or savory cheesey ones) but I do like salted caramel so will try these. Enjoyed this video Vicki

Like the breakfast ideas my daughter would rather have a big breakfast and smaller lunch. I got her some lemon hot cross buns last year but can't remember where they were from🙄 I make a chicken leek and bacon cottage pie it's a pinch of nom recipe and I sometimes make a very similar type filling but add mushrooms to itand serve it with pasta xxx love your videos ❤️

[@muttersmenu2422]

Great deals on the pizzas 🍕. Chiquitas are lovely. I make my own Chiquitas as I have never seen any kits in Australia 🇦🇺 Good video

[@rachaeldale5423]

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Hi & welcome 🤗

[@carolking4124]

Thank you, and yes happy to see more breakfast, this really help for ideas to help with myweight gain meal plan thanks alot. I am going to try adding stuff like flavoired syrups to stuff, or vaniila to a cream?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

You could definitely add full fat yogurt, proper butter and get the syrups that aren’t sugar free. Adding the fruit and the cinnamon made such a difference though!! Xx

[@paulamartin6049]

Hi carol i am on a weight gain journey as i had recently spent a year very poorly and was essentially bed bound and as a consequence lost a lot of weight and muscle tone . I noticed you mentioned your also trying to gain in comments on some other channels i follow and i was just interested in how u were getting on incase ypu have any hints or tips to share px

VERY NICE DINNER IDEAS THANKYOU VERY MUCH VICKY........ SEE YOU IN YOUR NEXT VLOG......... ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Victoria_Foulger]

My pleasure 😊

[@deeferry6520]

I use both when cooking a chicken, I pressure cook it, then lift it out and put into the Air Fryer to crisp the skin, its even quicker. 15 on pressure cook, then 10 - 15 mins on airfry. That chicken pie would be amazing as a lasagne. Great idea with the soft pittas, we enjoy the, better than the normal ones. Great meals, thank you for sharing xxx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

What a great idea! I didn’t think of that even though the two appliances are literally right next to each other 🙄🤣

[@helenwilkins4337]

I made chicken, bacon and leek pie filling this week. I used a jar of carbonara sauce and it was delicious, I might add mushrooms next time x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I love mushrooms, wish I’d thought to add some 😍

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

Here for you Victoria

[@xerynstar1]

Did you know that you only need about an inch of water with the potatoes, for mash in the pressure cooker, they don't need to be covered. The water is contained and can't escape so it part steams them. Makes them still lovely for mashing but less watery. Using pressure cooker can be daunting at the start. Love your vids and meal ideas so disregard if you are happy with your own method.

[@Victoria_Foulger]

No I’m always happy to hear recommendations from people!! That’s how we learn! I just went by the recipe book that came with the pressure cooker but less water could be great especially if you want things done a bit quicker. Thank you 🥰

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

Sister you can cook❤

[@juliethompson5301]

Love the wine hack vicky.could we do the same with red?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Definitely 👍 if you ever have leftover wine it freezes so well!!

[@sammymumof3]

That pie looks delicious 😋 is the bacon from Sainsbury’s already in pieces or did you have to cut it up? That's a great price I'm Going to have a look for it x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I chopped it up, it was actually in quite big slices. Not a lot of fat either!

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Really nice for a bit of a change 😍

[@TheKarenb87]

Could you please do a video about the pressure cooker please? I want to buy one but reading lots of things about it taking ages to build up pressure and again to release it so while potatoes in 8 mins is amazing it could actually take an hour. Is this true or what are your thoughts?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

It definitely takes time to build the pressure but nowhere near an hour for mashed potatoes. I love it mainly as I can start it then go and do other things. With a pan of boiling water you have to keep an eye on it, turn it off when finished etc. it’s convenient I suppose x

[@samwilkes77]

Where do you get the tata tots?? I’ve looked everywhere and I can only get the ones with bacon….any advice😊

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Sainsburys do them, Iceland do sometimes but it’s hit and miss x

[@birdie2202]

Every video I've see you only need a cup of water for your spuds in the pressure cooker........ its quicker to pre heat......

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I went by the manufacturer manual but I’m definitely going to try less water, makes sense really 😁

[@Stitchgirl2002]
