What would you make for dinner? I am toying with a takeaway but remember its only Wednesday. I do have cleaning to do too so don't want to spend too much time cooking.

I also really fancy a Morrisons salad bar with all the unhealthy stuff on!

Inspire me.

Beans on toast

Nandos (the sauce you can buy) chicken and chips with coleslaw! My kids don't like spicey stuff so I never get to either.

Dementedswan · 03/04/2019 15:25

Chicken fajitas and a beer, followed by starfishing in bed with a good book knowing I'll wake up to a still clean and tidy house.

if I could I'd choose the Morrisons salad bar every time, with loads of pasta on (unfortunately there's no Morrisons near me and I don't drive) and I'd eat it in bed with a cup of tea, hot water bottle and my usual serial killer inspired TV documentary, then hibernate. Bliss.

Salmon in oven with loads of cherry tomatos, salt and some chilli with rice. Glass of wine to celebrate no bedtime/ bath time/homework/stories etc.

Early night with large cup of herbal tea and Netflix Smile

My partner doesn’t like fish so I would binge on smoked mackerel pate while he’s away!

CalmDownPacino · 03/04/2019 15:47

A pizza and a bottle of wine.

Last weekend I had a packet of microwave rice one night and some hash browns the other.

PandaCat · 03/04/2019 15:49

A ready meal, curry or pasta bake.

I hate preparing food for just myself so I will usually have something I can just pop in the oven.

Eliza9919 · 03/04/2019 15:50

Takeaway or drive-thru
Something that just goes in the oven from M&S
Oven pizza or chicken wings
General junk; crisps, chocolate, supernoodles, beige oven stuff.

In that order of preference.

Portobello mushroom risotto from "cook". I love risotto but husband doesn't so I can't be arsed to cook it just for me, it takes so long!

Order654 · 03/04/2019 16:01

Dominos pizza & cookies. Delivered so I didn’t have to go out.

Then cups of tea and chocolate after if I had much room left.

A Thai red curry with proper paste. Takes about 7 mins. Use up the bits of veg and get a chance to eat some before the gannets get it the next day ! Then all I have to do is rice in rice cooker - 2 days of cooking for less than ten mins . Bonus.

Ihavealwaysknown · 03/04/2019 16:09

Pizza! DH doesn’t like pizza (freak) and I’m lazy 😂

iklboo · 03/04/2019 16:09

Big ploughman's lunch type thing - crusty bread, butter, pate, cheese, pickled onions, posh crisps, charcuterie meats and a nice bottle of chilled white wine.

ScreamScreamIceCream · 03/04/2019 16:09

Ohhh curry chip butties...

I'd get a takeaway. Sod the fact it's only Wednesday. Then I'd throw all the leftovers in a frying pan and have for breakfast YUMMMM

Sunhill4 · 03/04/2019 16:18

DarlingCoffee · 03/04/2019 16:19
