WHAT'S FOR DINNER? A Week of Affordable Family Meals

[@jeanrichardson2044]

I watch a few English meal programs and I must say that I like that you do not serve chips at every meal, you include a variety of fruit and vegetables, and you balance out the carbs. Your family is well fed, with interesting meals.

[@kellyhoge8290]

I agree. There one that has fries almost everyday.

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thanks so much! As a mum I’m always doubting myself so that’s nice to hear 🥰

[@carolinepeeters8520]

Looks all yummie !!! 😋😘

[@Victoria_Foulger]

It was!

[@tedvin4160]

The juice would be lovely mixed with some cream and turn it into an eton mess 😋

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome video, Thanks Victoria ❤️❤️👍

[@MeloyKimberly]

Glad to see you back! I’ve been thinking of you and hoping Bailey is doing much better ❤

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thanks so much, I appreciate that 🥰

[@gaynorprior9864]

Hi brilliant ideas i love the prawn and pasta dish I've cooked it several times 😋👍👍

[@Victoria_Foulger]

It's so good!

[@janicehartley8525]

I do love the meals you put together, always look yummy ❤

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thank you 😋

[@fionayalvac3324]

I would put a little of the fruit syrup in a tall glass and top up with tonic/soda and ice.

[@uglenddalejones2]

Fantastic food Victoria 😋👌👌👌🙌 Hope you and yours are doing good xx

[@lynncooke8589]

Lovely food recipe ideas Vicky. What a good tip about the hot dogs, I have used the rolls pre sliced and they split when you put sausage in so next time will use a french stick like you did, thank you. xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

You are so welcome! It’s so frustrating when they split!

[@billybofh2363]

The hotdog mini-baguette thing reminded of the best hotdogs I've ever had. Little service station in Brittany (clearly a favourite with the coach drivers). Just cut the baguette across the middle into two 'ends' - roughly cut out a bit of the inside, then smeared inside with some butter and mustard and popped a sausage in it. Almost like an ice-cream cone. But full of mustardy, buttery sausage :)

[@Victoria_Foulger]

That sounds like a great idea 💡 I do love a French service station 🤩

[@valeriehorton5787]

Lovely meals ❤❤

[@ruthbell4356]

Use the fruit juice as a coulis for ice cream or over a bowl a fruit

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Those meals look really good

[@SnarkyNarwhal]

Make popsicles w/the fruit juice! You could water it down a bit even

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Love this idea!

[@hassan9311]

LOVELY MEALS VICKY........ ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jankitteringham8483]

I use lots of different fruit for crumble and that juice would go in the dish. It can be dry if not. Lovely meals Vicki. Thankyou. 🇬🇧🥰

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Luckily it turned out well as the fruit released even more liquid when cooking, beginners luck 😂

[@paulsales7033]

I wasn't hungry but I am now. All looks delicious

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thank you 😋

[@laurathomson5053]

Fab recipes sweet ❤️👍

[@mohammedmiah5294]

Great meal 😋 👌 👍

[@karenpridmore7955]

Nice meals. That lasagne looks really nice something a bit different. I've made a few of your lasagnes , the butternut squash & spinach 1 was really good and a chicken 1. At the moment I'm having a lot of potato salad with things, I put chices, red onion, parsley & celery in mine, sometimes apple if I have 1 knocking around in the fruit bowl , & lots of black pepper & salt. Makes a nice meal as well. My husband dosebt like it as he don't like mayonnaise or salad cream so more for me !!!

[@Sonja...]

Your bololooks delicious, I'm going to try your tip of having high heat for the mince. Good idea cutting out the rolls for the hotdogs... you could turn the cut out bit into garlic bread sticks? Or croutons

[@Victoria_Foulger]

That’s a good idea 👍

[@Sonja...]

Oops I meant bolognese in the second word!

[@the_dark_queen]

Use the juice like a cordial, drizzled over fresh sponge and custard or in a cocktail

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Great ideas 🤩

[@nicralph6032]

Go to b and m and buy some jamming sugar which contains pectin the jam setting agent and just pour half bag in with your fruit syrup there u have kiwi strawberry plum jam 😋

[@nancyculp6968]

You could have made salmon patties out of that small amount of potatoes and bread crumbs you talked about with the bread you pulled out of the hoagie bread. Stretched your items for another meal…also, I agree with another viewer that you needed some of that liquid from your fruit mixture for your crumble. So just either make a syrup out of it for pancakes or waffles, Some jam (get a box of sure jell) will give you directions. You also could have used your shrimp and salmon to have made stuffed seafood baked potatoes…but since your son doesn’t like cream sauces…another way salmon is really good is to cook it with a glaze, then serve it over mixed greens with plenty of fresh caramelized root vegetables and candied nuts along with some Craisins all served with a maple flavored or balsamic vinaigrette. I had this in a restaurant and went home and recreated it. So good! I am going to try using some roasted butternut squash in it next. Just some ideas to help you think outside the box a little bit. 🙂

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Lovely ideas thank you 🙏

[@lucygale336]

Do love spag bol 😊

[@hansybunnys7748]

Hi vicky, did you let the prawns cool before adding to pasta? X😊

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Yes, they cool almost instantly when you turn the hob off anyway 🥰

[@jadekirk7415]

Could you make a posset with the left over liquid or a fool? Or mix with vodka ha xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Now vodka is a fantastic idea 🤩🤩🤩

[@moirainstance2685]

Yum.. how is your lad.. x

[@sofiablack9081]

Add the fruit syrup to greek yogurt and granola?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Oooh fab idea!

[@louiseburt7588]

How’s is your son doing?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

He is physically fine, I think it will take a while mentally to come to terms with what happened but we are just so happy he’s ok. Thank you for asking 🥰
