Yum Yum pigs bum.

For the kids: pasta, frozen peas, dairylea and some sort of protein (often frozen chicken nuggets. I pretend it counts)

For me and DP: cereal

2 slices of toast - one with beans on and one with scrambled egg on. Takes 5 min and is super satisfying.
Or frozen Mediterranean veg fried in olive oil with some halloumi or chorizo all stuffed in a pitta bread. Takes hardly any time and is delicious!

Just seen Emily Norris make 10 minute gnocchi with peas and pesto, will try it tonight.

Hash browns topped with baked beans, a bit of grated cheese, and an egg.

I’ve gotten really into turkey dinosaurs recently 😳 Hadn’t eaten them for over 20 years and then bought them for DS in the hope that a dinosaur shaped food might encourage him to eat SOMETHING when he was going through a really fussy phase (it worked!)... turns out they are delicious if you don’t think about the health aspect.

Also a big fan of pasta and pesto (basically all I ate as a child). Tuna is our go to but bacon or ham definitely feels like more of a treat.

Side note: PIL’s minds were blown recently when I served a pasta a salad with pesto as a thrown together lunch recently. They’d never had pesto!
