It's Friday, you want something delicious and easy to cook but can't stretch to a takeaway. What are you having?

[NotQuiteUsual]

We're having super noodles with chopped up hot dogs.

Nothing beats a nasty Friday tea.

( And wine. Cheese and wine night.)

Mmmmm,crackers,pate,prawn cocktail,sausage rolls,posh crisps,special posh fizzy drinks and pavlova for pudding.Saturday night=treat night.

I love a Saturday carpet buffet 😍

We had a English fry up, such an easy and satisfying tea!

Breakfast for tea is a great call.

Tonight is tik tok pasta that we found during lockdown.
Essentially shove a block of feta with onion, garlic, tomatoes and some herbs and oil into a roasting dish in the oven for 30 mins, smush it all up and put on top of pasta.

Other quick meals have been literally pasta with a dolmio stir in and cheesy garlic bread, jacket spuds with cheese and beans, jacket spuds with tuna and cheese, boiled eggs and soldiers and one of my faves - tayto sambos with laughing cow cheese on fresh white bread.

An omelette. I've spent my whole life avoiding eggs due to being forced to eat boiled egg sandwiches at school by the horrible dinner lady, always thought I didn't like them at all until DH started making quiche and I discovered I liked egg like that. Then he made me try omelette and it was incredible and I've been hooked ever since 😆

Tonight I was going to make chicken breasts filled with cream cheese wrapped in Parma ham but the cheese had gone mouldy so I filled them with tapenade which was even nicer!

I also make something similar with a Boursin cheese and cherry tomatoes. Roast in oven and then mix into cooked pasta.

@AliasGrape

It is now Saturday but you are forcing me to go to the chippy for not only chips but a cheese and onion pie, damn you!

@WoodlandWalks123 No! PM me if you like, the one I use is in Newnham in Cambridge itself and the other one I hear is very good is in Histon. Where are you thinking of?

Love a breakfast dinner!

You won’t regret it!

Love this thread, it makes for very chilled reading and has given me some great ideas for quick and tasty recipes. Bookmarked! Thanks OP and everyone else for the inspiration 🍽 😋

If you can find them, the spuds in glass jars with a metal lid are even better imho than the tinned variety. When I am rushed for time, I shove them in a tray bake with sausages or chicken thighs with onions, garlic, red peppers and thyme. Make sure they are covered in a light coating of olive oil, s&p. Or use them, again in a light coating of olive oil, in a tray bake with frozen salmon, some lemon wedges, maybe some roasted baby leeks or asparagus.

Really quick sausage pasta:

Remove the skin from Italian sausages and roughly chop. Fry garlic and onion in a pain. Add sausages and cook, breaking up the meat a little. Add half a tin of tomatoes, salt, pepper.
boil up small florets of broccoli. Add these. Cook down and add a bit of marscapone or cream cheese. Lots of fresh Parmesan. Boil pasta (bows are nice, or fusilli) and add to the pan. Mix it all up and add more Parmesan.

You are so right. I did not regret it! The chippy does gorgeous chips. I am now fat(ter) but happy!!!!

My version of this is a bacon sandwich or sausages from the freezer

I am using tinned potatoes in my slow cooker and hopefully they will turn into lovely roasties.

I'm going to have a fry up for my tea on Friday night after reading this thread.

Just used your code,thanks ever so much.We will definitely use instead of popping to the takeaway to save some cash,if they are as nice as I have heard.

Either cheese and crackers or my fave comfort food - pulled pork, coleslaw and wedges 😍

Amazing thread. Such inspiration as I can get soooo lazy.
Thinking of getting a Tesco meal deal for tonight, so till lazy but it will be tastier than oven chips. Or may get an Asda curry.

I always have a tin of stag in for this exact thing!

I've never seen spuds in a glass jar with a metal lid @Mindthegap725 would you be kind enough to name a brand?

I am an absolute potato fiend..I regret nothing.
