To ask - what do you make your children for tea if you can't be bothered cooking?

[spik]

What's your go-to on the nights where you don't have the energy to do a big meal?

[amymel2016]

Fish fingers, carrots and peas, pasta with some pasata and chopped tomatoes, beans on toast or scrambled eggs on toast. Simple and quick!

[MyDcAreMarvel]

Honestly if they have had a school dinner , I just plate up random bits eg crackers, cheese cubes, ham, cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced apple and yogurt.

[Breeindisguise]

Pasta and sauce, egg or cheese on toast or dippy egg, sandwich with chopped carrot and cucumber on side. They've been been known to make themselves a pot noodle when I'm busy can't be arsed

[sockatoe]

Fried eggs, omelette or tinned mackerel with pasta and veg. Super speedy and they think it's a treat!

Tonight they're having an entree of 'Mum has had a gutsful', thus contributing to a main of 'whatever your father provides'. Dessert will be 'it will be interesting how long it takes for a few people to get the hint that normal service has been suspended'.

I suspect it will be takeout rather than the yummy home-made maccy cheese I was going to make. Or Dad will make it. Just to make the point. . .

[stucknoue]

Spaghetti with chopped tomatoes, anchovies, onions and parsley
