Mine is either

baked potato with cheese
or
egg on toast

unbelievable

Spag bol.
i make my own from scratch so do big batches and freeze so there is always some on the freezer.

alternatives to that are those sausage and beans in a tin on toast...i know its terrible but DS loves them.

Scrambled egg with tomatoes and peppers on toast.

toast pizza's. basicly just toast with some whizzed toamtoes, oregano and cheese. i let the kids make their own and they really like them

iota · 07/10/2006 19:01

hello Moondog - nice of you to turn up

BATtymumma · 07/10/2006 19:02

as my Ds has serious food issues i am glad to get anything into him...even vermin as you call it.

but i guess this is one of those smug threads for you is it Moondog

hulababy · 07/10/2006 19:03

Pasta with pesto
Eggy bread
Scrambled egg on toast
Plate of pepper, cucumber, tomato, cheese, ham,pitta, etc

iota · 07/10/2006 19:04

I'm sure boiled vermin would be nourishing - after all protein is protein

oxocube · 07/10/2006 19:04

Now, now Moondog! We all know beef wellington is lovely but it is a fart to do if you are pushed. There are loads of nice healthy things we can do which are quite quick and simple. Although agree about the tinned sausages and supernoodles GIVE 'EM EGGS

squirrel stew yum

Spanish omelette - cheats version, chop onion and potato and micro for a few mins with some frozen peas until everything soft. Then stir into couple of eggs, little milk and some grated cheese. Fry it first for 3-5 mins then grill for about the same. Serve with baked beans to guarantee wuffy farts!!!

Bozza · 07/10/2006 19:06

TBH I don't really have such a thing. Although I always reckon that pasta cooks quicker than rice or any form of potato and couscous and noodles are quicker still.

jamiesam · 07/10/2006 19:07

On the super noodles point - did I read somewhere that Pot Noodles are actually not all that bad ... or did I make that up?

suejoneziscalmernow · 07/10/2006 19:07

whats wrong with noodles? No differnt to pasta I would have thought.

Bozza · 07/10/2006 19:08

Eh Lockets? Do you know something I don't? Shepherd's pie takes me an age to cook. Probably the quickest things I make are pasta dishes.

Sometimes if you can be organised with the potatoes or if you cheat and microwave them, jacket potatoes and chilli can be quite quick.
