What’s For Dinner - The Lazy Edit

33 replies

Just as the title suggests, I’m going all out lazy mode today.
We are having a M&S Indian Takeaway box thing which was reduced so 🙌🏻
Plus I bought some chicken tikka bites and pakora thingies to go with it.
DH cooking some frozen samosas too I think, so it’s actually turning out to be quite a feast!
Have all the chutneys and pickles too.

Anyone else in a Can’t be bothered mood tonight want to share their dinner inspiration 😂

Instant noodles for dd, soup for me

Eaten in bed 🙈 while we watch tv

I'm exhausted! Friday tomorrow 🙌

Left over pasta from yesterday for DP and me, with a leftover sauce and vegetables. Microwaved. Oh the horror.

DissDissOrDiss · 05/06/2025 18:42

Scrambled eggs and baked beans on toast with a big mug of tea. Bloody delicious.

GameOfJones · 05/06/2025 18:47

Fresh pasta and a jar of pesto for us. I chucked some spinach in to cook with the pasta. Took 5 minutes and was eaten sat on the sofa.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 05/06/2025 18:49

None of those are as bad as my dinner last night. I had 2 packets of crisps when I got in from work. Then later on I couldn't be bothered cooking anything so just ate a crumpet with butter. Then another crumpet with a fried egg on top. Then an out of date tub of kefir.

DH and I are going through a rebellious teenage type of stage now both our kids are away at uni. So gone are the continous cries of "what's for tea?" and the expectations of fancy home-cooked meals mid-week. And now, if we both can't be arsed, we have absolute crap. And we don't care.

I could not be arsed tonight, so bbq spare ribs, a baguette and a small salad. It was delicious

LindorLusadi · 05/06/2025 19:18

Nothing yet but I really want something super savoury

mylurcheristhebest · 05/06/2025 19:18

Crumpets with Philadelphia I’ve not been feeling great the last few days absolutely exhausted.

ThisChirpyFox · 05/06/2025 19:19

Cheesy pasta. Pasta boiled with jar of veg and tomato sauce. Threw in some chopped mushrooms, onions and peppers. Layered with a full bag of grated four cheeses and popped into the oven. Beeping to come out now as I type. Will serve with salad, garlic bread and coleslaw.

This post really made me smile. Enjoy your rebellious phase!

Gnocchi with ready cooked chicken and a tomato and mascarpone sauce (jarred) oh and garlic bread. It will take 8 mins 🙌🙌

GreenWriter · 05/06/2025 19:52

Well I made a chicken curry (jar sauce) for dinner, which I ate at lunchtime with rice & poppadoms.

So for dinner DH had his curry & I had 2 slices of buttered toast, ritz crackers and an apple. Dd tried the curry sauce and rice and ate half a poppadom, so then joined me in what I was having 😅 We ate the crackers and apple on the sofa watching Pets 2!

Flatbread - added burger slaw (Tesco), gherkins, pickled red onions, some salad and pulled pork (out the freezer, microwaved and stirred through BBQ sauce)

SingtotheCat · 05/06/2025 20:50

A cheese and lettuce sandwich!

GrimTimes1 · 05/06/2025 20:53

Toast and Brussels pate washed down with a mug of tea.
heaven.

WhoWouldBeAWoman · 05/06/2025 21:30

(We had home made chilli with rice the other night)

Tonight we had left over chilli beef in wraps with lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, grated cheese and jalapeños. Easy peasey, ready to eat in 5 minutes flat. Bosh. Yum.

murasaki · 05/06/2025 21:42

We had a previously home made cottage pie from the freezer, so just defrosted it during the day and shoved it in the oven, and tenderstem broccoli steamed in the microwave.

Very lazy, but not too unhealthy.

uncomfortablydumb60 · 06/06/2025 00:14

Cheese and pickle Seeded bread sandwich, a GU coffee and hazelnut cake dessert, half a bar of Tony's Chocolonely Toffee and biscuit.CBA today

AtleastitsnotMonday · 06/06/2025 21:01

I can’t be bothered tonight, Im just not feeling it, late in from work, everyone else had eaten (they did save for me but I’m kind of beyond it). So I’ve just had a pack of extra lazy, ready chopped watermelon and a Diet Coke.
