Do you have a cooked dinner every day?

[Twospaniels]

Just that really.

We have sandwiches or salad for lunch, then a cooked dinner in the evening, meat, veg or pasta, etc.

Someone has just told me that they often just have a bowl of cereal for dinner. I know this isn’t a financial decision for them, but I guess maybe they sometimes just don’t feel like cooking.

Yes, not always a full on dinner, sometimes I do an omelette with salad & bread or a jacket potato, never sandwich or cereal until we've had a big lunch out.

No.

*unless

Yes. Sometimes in the summer i eat a lot of salads

Most days we have something hot but not always. Can easily have a sandwich or toasties for dinner. Also in the summer I don't always want something hot, might have a cold quiche or pasta salad sorts of things. It's been a long time since I had cereal for dinner but it is nice occasionally and feels cosy for some reason.

Always

Not always. Sometimes go for a “tea” of sandwiches, boiled egg, fruit because I honestly find making daily dinners the most gigantic pain in the hole. It’s the worst bit of being an adult.

I used to love a bowl of cereal for dinner but don’t go that far now that I have DC to —try to stuff greenery into— think about.

Sigh. Strike through fail.

Dh cooks a proper meal every meal. Minimum of 5 of us. Sometimes 7..9 on Sundays!

We're a bit late eating tonight as I've been out, so it's a bacon & egg sandwich for dinner here. Will have dessert if still hungry after...

Dc have a cooked dinner but I’ll often have something small and snacky as I’m not hungry after work (12 hour shifts, get in at 8:30). Tonight is a cheese toastie.

Assuming the people having a bowl of cereal were single? No parent I know would willingly just serve themselves or their family cereal as a meal.

I do a hot dinner for the children every evening, and then one for myself after I've cooked theirs because I eat a different diet than they do.

Not if I'm on my own. I don't like dinners much. When my kids leave I will have things like sandwiches or cheese and crackers, with soup or salad and fruit for the 5 a day. Cereal is good as well.

I don't need a hot meal every evening, I find it a bit boring, the routine of it. I'll have salads instead or ryvita and cottage cheese, something snacky.

Yes. But I might not if I lived alone. I certainly didn't as a student. Sometimes I ate porridge all day if I ran out of money!

Always have had a hot dinner.Just cant feel full on Salad or snacks .Will often indulge in a bowl of Crunchy Nut before bed though !(Supper is a whole other meal!) also Toast /cheese and bics as well

In my 20s I’d often do this if I got in late from work / gym.
I hate cooking and eating late. But I’d probably choose toast over cereal.

Yes. I'd be too hungry if I just had cereal, I always want a proper meal!

Yes, every night, unless we've had a big cooked lunch (usually Sunday lunch or if we've been out)
I think the last time I had cereal for dinner I was probably a student.

Yes. Probably won’t so often when our youngest is at university next year.

Cereal is the devil’s work at any time of the day.

Generally but not always. Sometimes cheese and pickles, sometimes a bowl of porridge if it’s cold, sometimes something simple like beans on toast or poached eggs.

Yes, every night

Sometimes just a huge bowl of steamed veg (left to go to room temp - for some reason I love cold cooked broccoli) drizzled with soy sauce. Followed but a couple of kiwi fruits.

Absolutely love it.

I might have cereal while I was waiting for dinner to cook.

I do cook every day but might not be what you consider a proper meal. Quite often it's just a piece of fish in the oven and a salad. Takes just a couple minutes to make. I only put effort into a meal like once a week.
