What would you have as an easy treat dinner? Home alone

[Fluffyteal272]

Any suggestions? I'm home alone, don't want a takeaway. Going to morrisons later and I can't think what I fancy. Something easy but feels like a treat.

I’d cool a yummy steak.. nice sauce with a glass of wine. Then it’s a real treat if your not used to being home alone.
I spend a lot of time of my own as DH works odd hours…. So I’ve got used to the bog standard meals 🤣 but with a glass of wine

I make cauliflower cheese. Just choose a small cauliflower and make your own cheese sauce, I like to add sliced tomatoes on top before it goes in oven with cheeses sprinkled on top. It’s easy and delicious

I'd have a mini buffet ! If you're going to morrisons, I'd get mini quiche, Indian selection, salad, French bread, cheeses.
I'm hungry.

I'm having a cheese board later with ds, he requested it. It's nice and easy, no cooking.

Scrambled egg and smoked salmon stuffed into croissant
Dr Oetker stone baked sourdough pizza
Cranberry, Brie and bacon toasted sandwich

Something my family don't like, maybe Charlie binghams macaroni cheese.

Fillet steak, salad, maybe a ready made fresh peppercorn sauce. Then some nice cheese & grapes.

I would have a load if deli stuff from Marks & Spencer plus cheese and crackers.

something the kids don't like. aubergine parmigiana probably.

I'm really loving the autumn range in Sainsbury's, so maybe a peppered steak pie followed by bread and butter pudding.

Buffet type food from M&S - olives, meats, cheeses, that type of thing. I’d happily graze away for the evening rather than having a single meal.

Cheese! Or some tortellini, followed by cheese! Plus all the stuff DH doesn't like - olives, feta, etc.

Stuffed pasta- DH doesn’t care for it so I rarely get it.

Or shashuka (same issue).

I love a cheese board too. But he’ll happily share that.

Quiche from the deli bit with new pots and salad

Pizza and garlic bread (no judging, double carbs 😋) and a watercress salad.

Or veggie quarterpounder, chips and mushy peas.

Yummy steak with prepped dauphinois potatoes and avocado, tomato and rocket salad. YUM

I like the idea of a buffet tea, all the little bits you enjoy and can graze on as you watch a movie (which my partner would insist is not a real meal).

Or pasta bake with salad and homemade garlic bread! Yum!

Whatever you decide, enjoy!

OR steak eith cauliflower cheese😍

Fresh pasta, cook for 3 min... stir tablespoon of creme fraiche, handful of torn smoked salmon, loads of cracked black pepper and a generous squeeze of lemon. (Maybe stir some spinach into the hot pasta if you need some green stuff)

5 minute meal... literally.

As others have said. I would go for the nicest steak you can afford (as you only need to buy one?!) then salad and a jacket potato cooked fully in the oven (not the microwave-oven combo that I do when the DC are around) with loads of butter, salt and pepper.. mmm

Whatever anyone else doesn’t like, or something that’s easy. Ready made cous cous salad, ready made potato salad with pre cooked salmon, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella in pesto oil. Or a Thai takeaway. Baked Camembert and fresh baguette to dip.

Salmon and couscous salad with sesame dressing.

Buffet tea if I have the time to go and get the stuff from M&S.

If not, spaghetti and sausage on toast!

A rotisserie chicken, nice bread and some other nibbles, maybe some coleslaw, olives, nice cheese and some good wine.

I would buy a salmon steak, a bottle of white wine and some pre-prepared veg, and a jar of Béarnaise sauce. Salmon poached in white wine with a scattering of peppercorns is zero effort - literally just bung in the oven - and delicious.
