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?

Cheese omelette.

-Indian scrambled eggs
-bought fish pie
-nice M&S soup

• cheese and tomato toastie
• random vegetable stir fry

Crisps or air

Oh and liver

Yoghurt, blueberries and granola

Toast with avocado ham and poached egg

Cheese and crackers

Bacon sandwich

This was me tonight. I had an M&S ready meal - chicken and parmesan fettucine something - with green salad and tomatoes.

Soulmates

A bloody good steak (my preference is pan-fried fillet, medium rare), served with battered onions rings and chunky chips, whole grain mustard and ketchup. (I leave out the chips on most occasions as I'm trying to lose weight.)
Delicious either way, and quick to cook.

@MotherofPearl.
Ha ha, just read back on the thread!
Same here. I love liver but I'm the only one

Lamb rogan josh in the slow cooker.

Jamie olivers ultimate vegetable lasagne. Takes 3 hours but worth the effort.

Posh pizza

I go one way or the other. Either a huge plate of steamed veg, butter and salt (so pretty healthy minus the butter) or just dessert!

M and S or Waitrose macaroni cheese. Totally indulgent and easy!

Pasta, scrambled egg on toast, sausage, mash and veg.

Bland but easy!

One of my quickest most comforting thing I get hungry for maybe 3 or 4 times a year - Idahoan instant mashed potato with bisto instant gravy ! Lashings of butter and salt and pepper. Sometimes do red onion gravy if feel like ‘cooking’

Stilton and crackers. Cheddar, crackers and chutney. Cereal

nice but relatively healthy ready meal or nice but relatively healthy take away. why is everyone having cereal and toast for tea!?

Gravy and chips

Sushi or pasta with butter are my comfort foods.

Indian takeaway. I'd get 2 nights out of that.
Veggie pasta
Beans on toast
Veggie burger
Soup

Rice krispies

I found myself cooking dinner for just me last week - first time in literally years. I made brussels sprout vindaloo. Yeah, I know, strange - but DH hates sprouts and doesn't like hot curries - and I do. I enjoyed every mouthful!

Frozen med veg (cooked in the oven first), packet of spicy rice, tin of tuna mixed together with a handful of cheddar on top zapped in the microwave with some peri peri sauce or chilli olive oil over the too. Takes no time at all but it’s super tasty

Night one when I have good intentions - beans on toast
Night two when my good intentions are slipping - ALL the cheese but with plenty of celery & grapes & things
Night three - Haagan Daas straight from the tub

Dips and chips, ham out the packet

Random bits of stuff I couldn't serve up as a meal to anyone else but all I really want is to graze

Chorizo rice, pasta cheese and beans or a steak sandwich on ciabatta. Mostly depending on levels of effort I'm willing to deploy.
