Stuck in a food rut - need suggestions!
Discussion
I have to admit, I've got bored of cooking. Can never think of anything to cook and just feel stuck in a rut of same old same old.
All too often I'm suggesting beans on toast again because I can't be bothered.
Would anyone care to suggest favourite suppers/dinners and all in between to give our household some dinner joy again?

Kedgeree is due a revival. It's easy to cook too! We use this recipe which is pretty much kedgeree

Buy a slow cooker, some inexpensive cuts of beef or lamb add basic veg,carrot,swede,celery and a stock pot for extra flavour. Arrange it in the morning and cook on a low heat for 6/8 hours. No hassle, delicious food. Mix it up with chinese,five spice or Indian spices for a change
Cuts of shin are superb for slow cooking. Give em a good hot dry frying pan first to seal them up.Easy stir fry is one of my go to foods if I can't be bothered to do anything advanced.
Prep some veg of your choice. Onions, garlic, peppers and chilli's are my usual choices. Shake some ground cinamon over the veg (you'll have to trust me on that as most people think it won't work.)
meat of your choice cooked in coconut oil (I like to season it with tumeric)
handful of nuts
soy or oyster sauce
heat up some noodles and there you go. Quick and simple.
If you're really pushed for time you can totally cheat and use pre cooked supermarket chicken, a stir in sauce and even straight to wok noodles. It won't be as good for you or taste as nice but perfectly acceptable for a quiick meal and a lot nicer than beans on toast.

And pulled pork too! The only issue you'll have is it not getting on the plate because you've been picking at it first
Puled pork is great dish for the slow cooker.My personal favourate at the minute is:
Rub the pork shoulder with a BBQ Peri Peri rub (you can pick these up at the supermarket) and leave in the fridge overnight
Slow cook it on a bed of onions with a small can of Dr. Pepper (or root beer)
Heat up some Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and add the pulled pork and stir well
Stick some in a bun and do a little side salad and just add a Belgium beer. Ah, bliss.
