Ideas?

I want something really yummy, but simple and easy to make

Had nachos and choc mousse last week, easy and delicious

What should I have/are you having?

Beseigedbykillersquirrels · 09/04/2021 13:54

Baked camembert with some red onion chutney and crusty bread

Putthebiglighton · 09/04/2021 13:55

No takeaways, got to cut back, have Uber eats but need to quit with that too

Is cheese and biscuits/baguettes a meal 🤷🏻‍♀️I’m thinking that easy/lazy but tastier

No idea what the squirrel thing is.
I'm throwing together a veg chilli with a variety of beans and veg in the cupboards. Have a bag of tortilla chips - job's a good un!

Roast Chicken

Shit on it

MaverickDanger · 09/04/2021 13:59

We’ve got Arabica mezze waiting in the fridge and I can’t wait.

Tiredmumno1 · 09/04/2021 14:03

Whatever you decide on, make sure you throw it on the floor, then scoop it up and serve it. Oh and add a button for extra effect.

Shalom

Tiredmumno1 · 09/04/2021 14:05

On a more serious note your meal sounds great, so lazy, I love it Grin

MintyMabel · 09/04/2021 14:07

Salad for me, fajitas for the other two.

whyayepetal · 09/04/2021 14:08

Don’t forget a good dash of salt in your water tooWink

DrinkFeckArseBrick · 09/04/2021 14:09

Loaded potato skins

OppsUpsSide · 09/04/2021 14:10

We’re having pasta pesto with garlic bread and tricolour salad, mmm

TerrifiedandWorried · 09/04/2021 14:11

French bread pizza. Cheese and baguette but you can pretend it is takeaway.

Illy605 · 09/04/2021 14:11

I’m having Pancetta, Tomato and Ricotta pasta.

Just chucking Pancetta, tinned chopped tomatoes, ricotta and spinach into cooked tagliatelle with a little pasta water and double cream. I’d add some red wine for extra flavour but I’m pregnant and don’t get to enjoy the good things in life 😭

CodMouth · 09/04/2021 14:11

Take your shirt off, look through the bin, eat smelly fish in the shed or squirt cream in your mouth.

AgentProvocateur · 09/04/2021 14:13

Of course cheese and biscuits or baguette is a meal. Or you could do some garlic prawns to go with your baguette.

Takes about 5 minutes and so easy it barely counts as cooking. We always have prawns in the freezer for such an occasion. In fact, seeing as I have an M&S paella, allioli, calamari, prawns, ciabatta and San Miguel, cava and G&Ts I'm declaring it tapas night here

We can only get McDs, KFC, chain coffee shops and a selection of cheap and nasty kebab/pizza/burger/chicken joints on Uber Eats here so never use them.

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 09/04/2021 14:14

Why not go for the mumsnet classic of a MASSIVE salad with crusty bread, spread with lashings of REAL BUTTER?

No good if you have a passel of 6ft 2 rugby player sons though...

(We are having a bbq if it stops fucking raining!)

Notimeforaname · 09/04/2021 14:18

I didn't know Paul Ritter died til just now !!!Sad

emmathedilemma · 09/04/2021 14:19

Fish & chips
Sausage & mash
Pizza
Fajitas

pepsicolagirl · 09/04/2021 14:19

Hmm it depends. If you had cooked a leg of lamb on sunday, would it still be ok to reheat tonight, do you think?

ShutUpAlex · 09/04/2021 14:19

@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady

Funnily enough my salads are actually one of the most unhealthiest things I make because of all the things I add to it Grin

GingerRuby · 09/04/2021 14:20

Some lucky meat ftom the shed?

peak2021 · 09/04/2021 14:20

I've got chicken and some vegetables myself.
