What do you eat when kids are away?

[bloodyeverlastinghell]

Dc off to Exdh tonight I’ve had an early dinner of a bowl of muesli, 2 carrots, some cheddar and a couple of crackers. I just can not be bothered cooking for myself. At the weekend I had avocado on toast, blt made with precooked bacon and a bit of wine, cheese and grapes for tea.

I don’t think it’s terribly healthy, what are nice, healthy meals for one. I do have things like chilli/ bolognaise in the freezer but can’t be bothered doing rice/ pasta for one as I seem incapable of not cooking vast amounts.

Cheese, fruit, sliced meats and crackers

Or steak as I only have to buy one!

One of those posh small pizzas with fancy toppings

Fish and chips

Get tortilla chips and just dip them in your premade chilli /bolognaise. A ready meal used to be my go to . You really aren't eating much I know you cba to cook but eat more .

I can't stand cooking. I honestly think that when the kids leave home and DH is on nights, I'll live off cereal and toast. And get my evenings back.

On the very rare occasion I am without children or DH I will go to our nice local Italian with a book and order a Vesper martini followed by a large sauvignon and carbonara.

Baked camembert with nice dippy things!

Cheese and crackers or pate and crackers

When the kids are with the exh, usually the things which they don’t like. Quite often Polish specialties- buckwheat groats, dumplings, Polish soups.
If not, then something vegetarian as I don’t like cooking meat just for myself.
Mostly it will be halloumi/ eggs + some kind of potato and salad or vegetables.
Occasionally a veggie burger or veggie ready meal. My favourite is Linda McCartney’s hoisin “duck”.
Nothing which requires more than 10 mins. preparation time:)
