So bored of this! Dh usually takes care of all cooking and most of the dinner shopping but he’s incapacitated at the moment and it’s on me. And I hate cooking so much 😂
Inspire me, what’s gracing your dinner table tonight?

Rroasted harissa Mediterranean veg on a bed of giant cous cous with feta and beetroot coulis rocket.

Nah, only joking. It's chicken burgers and oven chips Blush

TheChosenTwo · 04/10/2023 17:34

Ha!! I was just thinking that it sounded really nice 😂
The chicken burgers do sound good too though.

Jacket potato with mackeral and salad

I cba at all today so we’re having part baked rolls stuffed with Cajun chicken (bought already seasoned), peppers and onions.

Two of the dc won’t eat that though so they’ll have their rolls with breaded chicken and some cucumber on the side for health…

Furryrug · 04/10/2023 17:35

Left over Chinese from yesterday. I hate cooking too 😊

MrsBobo · 04/10/2023 17:35

Fish and chips from the freezer with some mushy peas and tartar sauce.

Minnierose11 · 04/10/2023 17:35

Hot dogs and chips for us! They are proper sausages though - can't stand the tinned stuff!
Been at work all day - cba for nothing fancy or time consuming.
I'm the cook 6 days a week in our house, despise it!

wishing3 · 04/10/2023 17:35

Burgers,homemade wedges,salad.

MrsMiddleMother · 04/10/2023 17:36

2x dinners tonight, mac and cheese for the little ones and tacos for us and the teenager

ChilliPixie · 04/10/2023 17:37

Homemade pizzas - I think, need to get off here and make the dough

Cowlover89 · 04/10/2023 17:37

Takeaway but don't know what yet

CyberCritical · 04/10/2023 17:38

Pizza and garlic bread. I have the mother of all headaches and opening stuff and shoving it in the oven is as much as I can be arsed to do today.

ErrolTheDragon · 04/10/2023 17:38

Whatever DH brings home - he's doing the Zoë thing and is fed up of entering details so wants food with barcodes. I'm not entirely sure that Tim Spectre meant to put anyone off home cooking!Grin
(But I'm not complaining, DH usually buys nice food)

IHeartGeneHunt · 04/10/2023 17:38

A tin of cauliflower and Wensleydale soup, bread roll, fruit cake.

Bluevelvetsofa · 04/10/2023 17:41

Chicken satay.

OldTinHat · 04/10/2023 17:46

I'm going to make a toasted sandwich with ham, chicken, cheese, spring onions, salsa and jalapeños - and I'm so sadly excited about it!

DontGiveMeThatOldCrap · 04/10/2023 17:46

Chicken pie, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots, peas.

XMissPlacedX · 04/10/2023 17:50

Cottage pie, carrots and broccoli. DH usually does the cooking but he isn't well so I thought I'd make an effort, plus none of the kids ever moan when that's on the menu.

SquigglePigs · 04/10/2023 17:51

Chilli and rice here tonight.

squirrelnutkins1 · 04/10/2023 17:56

Chili out the freezer

SM4713 · 04/10/2023 17:56

Our local Indian restaurant does a home-delivered buffet on a Wed and DH has been hinting at that! Here are some of our recent meals for inspiration though (no kids).

  • Gammon, pineapple, spring onions, potato and any other veg you fancy
  • Sometimes we 'pimp-a-pizza'. Buy cheap, frozen pizzas and add whatever toppings you fancy. Bacon, garlic, BBQ sauce, anchovies, mushrooms, onions, semi-dried tomatoes, jalepenos
  • This works equally well with left over roast pork or chicken

Sausages,roast potatoes,carrots,peas and yorkshires for Dh and Dd
Sausage sandwich for me as been out for lunch today

lazysundaymorningcoffee · 04/10/2023 18:22

Fish goujons, homemade baked beans and chips from the gousto box. I'm rather enjoying gousto at the moment. Discovered it from a refer a friend code which gave me a chunk of money off but I've carried on because it's convenient and even DS is cooking with me now.

therealcookiemonster · 04/10/2023 18:28

one of my favourites, chicken liver curry.. sounds weird but so amazing
