Has anyone else been horribly lazy about dinner today?

[sillybut]

Ive just fed my children pesto pasta, a punnet of strawberries and three celebration chocolates each for dinner.

Feeling utterly exhausted tonight and just went for a quiet easy life. Even stirring in the pesto seemed an uphill struggle

I was just going to say that I asked my husband to make the apple, leek and creme fraiche sauce to go with the pork chops I had cooked.

Which he did.

It was yummy.

@sillybut that actually sounds lush lol we had frozen pizza and wedges

@ShinyGreenElephant sometimes you wonder why you bother! Sympathies x

We had hot dogs after I came back from aldi food shop. Always a hit in our house.

I wasn't. I wanted to be, and have takeaway but I didn't. I had tuna mayo salad, then some chorizo & cheese and greek yoghurt with nuts and seeds and the tiniest drizzle of honey. 😇

I've just banged my backside on the wooden bed too for extra good luck.

What does this mean ?

Lentil and bean chilli. Sounds virtuous but all I did was hear it up, open a pocket of nachos and dollop on some guacamole and sour cream.

I ordered Subway. I had 3 hours sleep last night and then worked 12 hours because we're under-resourced. And I'm just shy of my third trimester so my back and pelvis hurt like hell from sitting at a desk all day. There was not a chance in hell that I was cooking.

We had a sausage tray bake. It’s very very easy but also has veg in it so feels reasonably proper.

Yes - new flavour magnums - millionaire shortbread! Irresistible! Note to self - don't buy any more!!! Just waiting for my 16 year old DS to ask me where they've all gone!

I swung by a friends house on my way home and she gave me some leftovers she wasn’t going to eat. All I needed to do was cook some chicken to go with it...would take no time and be super easy...

I went to 7/11 on the way home and bought ready to eat chicken nuggets that I cut up and stuck on top.

I've been doing it all week, trying to run the fridge and freezer down before going away so the most effort i've put into cooking was boiling spaghetti!

Think we should give ourselves a pat on the back for our inventiveness! Family cooking is relentless and gets very dull! Most (certainly mine) children like the same things day in and day out anyway!

Whats for dinner today then?

I find pasta, a stir in sauce and mixed veg from the freezer a good quick dinner.

Salad, coleslaw, pickled red cabbage & mackerel 'pate' or cod burgers, they are just pressed flaked cod & prawns, oven baked mushrooms and broccoli maybe.

Macdonalds tonight

My son made Thai curry from a kit and the fridge. No effort

Yes got a packet of prawns out and dipped them in sweet Chilli sauce
