If you DIDN'T cook from scratch what did you have for dinner?

Feeling tired of seeing all the amazing meals cooked every day on mumsnet. I often cook from scratch but I've been so stressed and run down this week.

If you've been taking short cuts / been lazy cooking for whatever reason come and tell me what you did

Last night we had fish fingers, chips and beans and today Ikea meatballs, frozen mixed veg, mashed potatoes (made a batch a while ago and froze) and a jug of bisto

A bit short on greenery so I suppose I'd better just feed them broccoli and sprouts with a good splodge of cabbage tomorrow Grin

Last night was Waitrose mozzarella stuffed meatballs with fresh pasta, and a microwave bag of tenderstem broccoli. Was all delicious and took very little of my time. Put meatballs in oven. Set timer for 25min, then put on kettle, boil pasta 3 min, put veg bag in microwave. I like a lazy Sunday.

Saturday night was fish tacos.

Breaded fish fillets cooked in oven then served in a wrap with lettuce, onion and shop bought aioli.

Yesterday was a cheat roast.

Chicken, shop bought roast potatoes from fridge section, shop bought stuffing and shop bought Yorkshire puddings. All done in air fryer in under an hour served with some green veg and gravy.
