I've found myself getting increasingly lazier when it comes to my DC dinners. One thing I hated growing up was that we didn't have a home cooked meal and lived on cold foods so I'm breaking out of this habit, giving myself a kick that I need and sorting a meal plan.

Please can you throw some ideas at me, my DC are thankfully not fussy so any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

We try and eat the same, I really CBA with doing two separate meals.

My kids favourite at the moment is probably Gousto's Sticky Beef Burritos. They take about 15 mins, maybe less if you use leftover or microwave rice, and are super tasty.

@LoveFall - I am using that one! Great idea

I do think a bolognase sauce is a good one for getting a bunch of veg into and is very versatile on pasta, with rice, on a baked spud, lasagne - and some grated cheese. Always good.

Thank you all so much, this has helped me massively and I am working through and planning in advance. Thanks again!

I see a lot of people have asked why I don't eat with them, I'm recovering from an eating disorder, eventually I would love to sit down and have a meal with them however I'm not strong enough yet. Thanks all.

And that's absolutely fine Thanks

Could you do some batch cooking so do things like a cottage pie but freeze it in port soon of 2 so that you can give the DC that with some veg? Spag Bol sauce freezes well too Smile
