What's your most shameful crappy meal for the DC?

[user1491572121]

Sometimes I don't want to think about what to make for dinner, I make pasta with nothing but olive oil and a bit of salt on top and then I scatter chorizo on it.

The kids love it and think it's a treat. '

Today (I'm in Oz and it's night here) I made them that but served them with corn on the cob too as a side vegetable.

What are your crappy, easy go-to meals for kids?

Fish fingers or pizza.

Curry ready meal

Hot dogs and a tin of Heinz spaghetti

Only on mumsnet would pasta and chorizo be considered a shameful and crappy meal. And with corn on the cob too. OP needs reporting to the nutrition police.

Baked beans on toast.

Tinned spaghetti on toast. DS(18) still has it occasionally

Tinned tomato soup with bread and butter.

Pasta with butter and grated cheese sometimes with peas in for appearances or chips and chicken nuggets with a side of cucumber to pretend I'm being a good mother.

Turkey dinosaurs, potato smiles and beans

Tinned peppa pig pasta with bread (not even toast). She loves it. I hate myself.

That's a shameful meal?! The fuck

It's pasta and chorizo

I do love food threads on Mn

Pizza (frozen), chicken nuggets, french toast, chips with omelette...

The grown up version is stir fry or curry using sauce from a jar.

Pasta and a jar of pesto.

POT NOODLE (hangs my head in shame)

Heinz tinned spaghetti with sausages

Asda ready made cheese pasta sauce and pasta

The skaggy end of a loaf, with lard on and sugar sprinkled on top, briefly fried (in olive oil obs, extra virgin)

My kids regularly eat frozen fish fingers/chicken nuggets and waffles.

DS1 doesn't even eat any veg beyond carrots and hardly ever eats fruit. He's 15, 6 foot and sporty so he seems ok on it.

Tin of beans in a casserole dish, top with mashed potato, an artful squirt of tomato sauce, add cheese, and grill. They love it.

Bought pizza,potato wedges wth mayo.This is our slobbing ,film nights.
I do the pasta pesto but consider it quick rather than crappy but perhaps am fooling myself with the salad on the side.(note to self add pesto to shopping list)

xStefx that's my kind of confession. Super noodles. When he was really young I didn't put the sachet in and grated cheese on instead like that even makes it better.

I have no shame about it, but the easiest of easy foods for the DC in our house are:

Baked beans on toast
Tomato soup and toast
Carrot sticks, cheese slices and crackers with tomato sauce mixed with mayonnaise dip
Pasta and pesto with small pieces of bacon thrown in
Chicken nuggets/fish fingers with potato waffles and frozen garden peas
Hot dogs
Burger in a bun

I'm all for easy tea once or twice a week.

These are standard meals for my 3 year old

Mcdonalds. They dont even eat it. Theyll have some fries and a bite of a chicken nugget or fish finger And the drink. They like the idea of going, not the food.

Dont add salt to the pasta maybe? Choritzo is already salty.

Jesus I think all my meals are go to meals if this post is anything to go by. No fingers or nuggets in this house though

Bag of Quavers DD is a terrible fussy eater and sometimes I've resorted to just giving her crisps when we're in a cafe and there's nothing she will eat. At home, I sometimes just gather a selection of nibbles (breadsticks, cheese etc) and give her that because I'm cooking something else for the rest of us and I'm too tired to cook two separate things.

Pardonwhatnow yours sound nice, I want to try it! :)
