What do you eat when you’re not cooking for anyone else?

[AdamandMadam]

DH and DS are away for half-term and whilst I’ll miss them, I’m looking forward to not cooking on the evenings and will probably have toast or cereal or crisp sandwiches most evenings.

Not only that, I will have them by 6 and have the whole evening to myself.

What would you have in the same situation?

Cheesy pasta.

Scrambled eggs on toast.

Cullen skink.

Enjoy your evenings to yourself to eat at your own leisure 😊 very jealous!!

Would 100% treat myself to a chippy once.

Otherwise maybe something for the oven or a pot noodle

Weetabix, crisps. M&S macaroni cheese if I've been organised enough to plan ahead.

Jacket potatoes, beans and cheese

Lunch for dinner

When Dds at her dad's I stock up on M&S meals and some nice sweet things or cheese and crackers and bits to go with it.

Oooh, yes cheesy pasta!

Might do the chippy one night. They don’t do crispies over here which is a shame but I still enjoy sausage and chips!

Scrambled eggs on toast

Cheese and beans on toast

Cereal.

Quick and easy.

I’d be on the steak, chips and salad with a bottle of wine!

Are you working over the half term? If not have a look at what's on at the local theatre or cinema and go to an evening show

Fish finger sandwiches.
The odd ready meal.

I don’t like cooking. I cook for my DCs but I don’t bother if they’re at their dad’s and I don’t have to!

I can't remember the last time I ate alone.

I'd have:
Greek salad, tsatziki and pitta bread with a jar of gigantes beans

Cheese, posh crackers, grapes, chutney, figs

Mushrooms on toast

A late lunch out one day and then toast and Marmite in the evening, perhaps followed by a packet of Minstrels

Nice bread and soup

Pasta of some sort

First night crisps and wine
Second night Chinese and wine
Third night toast and probably wine

I'd have some pasta with a rich cheese sauce. And dessert.

Ham sandwich and a cup of tea
Or
Weetabix or porridge
And
Share bag of Maltesers

I just had courtesy of Aldi

This thread just shows how tiring it is having to cook for and consider others all the time

Shreddies

Dr. Oetker pizza.

Big treat

Fresh pasta.
Scrambled egg.

But as a treat I would get a steak.

Unless I have visitors I always cook for just myself and I definitely don’t live on sandwiches and toast!

Well, DH had to go home to France the other weekend for some admin and he took the DC. I made myself Nigella Lawson’s rice pudding and ate it all.

Porridge with fresh berries.

Griddled halloumi and mushed up avocado on toast. Heaven.
