Just back from weekend away. Supermarket shutting soon. I've no desire to cook but have to as we've had way too much take out this weekend.
I'm veggie, DH and kids aren't so could do with something adaptable or so easy I can do two versions. I'm craving lasagne but they don't want that. DH will eat veg with me. Kids would like something beige.
I usually do fajitas or burritos or roast on Sunday. I'm so tired but we need to eat.
Tell me what you're having or what I can buy that's easy? Thanking you!

We're having leftover homemade potato salad from yesterday's Jubilee party, fried up into a 'hash' with shredded savoy cabbage and chorizo

Beecham · 05/06/2022 16:14

I'm your situation I would do jacket potatoes as they're so healthy and easy

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/06/2022 16:16

DogsAndGin · 05/06/2022 16:22

Beans on toast. Already had our big dinner for today at lunchtime

IncompleteSenten · 05/06/2022 16:23

I'm having it now. a bowl of salted cashews, walnuts and frozen blueberries.

It's really hitting the spot.

South Asian fish curry 🤤 using microwave rice tho as feeling pretty lazy (hungover)

Inextremis · 05/06/2022 16:27

We're having homemade pizzas - just about to start on the tomato sauce whilst the dough is proving. I have a horrendous hangover (celebrated a friend's 50th last night) and am not looking forward to rolling the dough out, but as I forgot to defrost anything else, pizza it is!

mnnewbie111 · 05/06/2022 16:27

You should get a couple of oven pizzas tho. Simple and tasty AF

siriusblackcat · 05/06/2022 16:28

averythinline · 05/06/2022 16:31

Squash brocoli sticky rice tray bake from the green roasting tin book ..veggie but we all like it..
Love a tray bake...

Iloveartichokes · 05/06/2022 16:33

Chicken kebabs and salad here.
Does pasta carbonara appeal to you? The meat is added just before completion which would cater for all family members. Aldo Zilli has a good recipe.

RaininSummer · 05/06/2022 16:35

Tamarind rice,mutter paneer and channa Dahl. Second outing after yesterday's cooking.

RiojaRose · 05/06/2022 16:35

Baked potatoes with a choice of various fillings: grated cheese, baked beans, sour cream and chives, creamy garlic mushrooms. The carnivore will have a side portion of smoked sausage.
