If it was me on my own it would be white rice, chilli sauce and Parmesan, in a bowl.

Some freezer veg if I'm feeling scurveyish.
Fry the egg with sesame seeds. Soy sauce on the rice. Bit of kimchi and some chili sauce. Mmmmmm.

Weetabix spread with lurpak.

😁

Pizza and chips. One of my faves too straight from freezer into oven for the pizza and usually air fry the chips, simples. Very unhealthy but delicious!

wigggigg · 27/01/2023 22:18

Smoked mackerel fillet, mashed up and mixed with easy-cook rice (microwaved) with frozen peas and sweetcorn (microwaved). It's lovely.

@OnMyWayToSenility

My tea yesterday was ramen noodles and 2 fried eggs on top!

BeyondMyWits · 28/01/2023 18:25

Potato waffles in the toaster.

MaverickGooseGoose · 28/01/2023 22:34

If I'm feeling fancy on my own a steak sandwich. Otherwise a chicken and mushroom pot noodle!

BCxx · 28/01/2023 22:34

Heinz baked potato, beans and cheese! Microwaved as I can’t be arsed waiting on it fully cooking in the oven but put it in the oven at the end to crisp up a bit

MadeInChorley · 28/01/2023 22:37

Oatcakes, cheese , humours and grapes.

lemondrizzl · 28/01/2023 22:40

Toast and Nutella, and a banana for me. Pesto pasta for kids

The usual widely varying interpretations of 'can't be arsed' 😂

Some of these are better than my most effortful cookery!

Same!
Mine is crunchy nut granola with a banana in it as an attempt at adding some form of nutrition
Or a protein shake Blush

coffeetofunction · 28/01/2023 22:49

Chips, cheese and gravy
