Got to be scrambled egg on toast! I love this because I work night shift and often don't feel like a meal when I get up - so I have just egg on toast, dd1 and ds have egg and baked beans on toast and dd2 and dd3 have egg and tinned spagetti! So easy and if followed by fruit and yogurt isn't totaly unhealthy!0

Lazy tea is all the P's
Pasta, pesto, peas, pinenuts, parmesan. Its so simple to make and we always have all of those things in as parmesan seems to last for months in a Lock and Lock box0 -
Potato cakes. Left over mashed potato, mixed with flour and either cheese, herbs, or mustard powder (or a combination thereof) and baked in the oven.
Cheese on toast.
Tuna pasta.0 -
Boil some spaghetti, drain, add a jar of green or red pesto, heat through, enjoy!0

My hubby has:
3 rounds of toast, topped with cheese, baked beans, a couple of fried eggs and more recently hash browns on there too :rolleyes:
He read somewhere once that that meal (minus the hash browns) contains all the staple items needed in a persons diet per day (yeah right)0 -
Tortilla chips in a layer in the lid of a big round pyrex casserole dish
Add a layer of a small tin of refried beans
Grate lots of cheese on top
Put in oven at 180 degrees for 20 mins
Put shredded lettuce on top - to make it healthy!

I saw someone selling 58 bottles of fortisip on ebay today and couldn't help thinking they probably get it on free prescription and then sell it on. :mad:
You're very brave to drink it PP. I think it's vile stuff. _pale_
Our easy teas would be
Bacon sarnie
freezer soup and HM bread
Baked potato with cheesy beans.
Usually have something in the freezer though which can be defrosted and cooked quickly and then served with a baked spud.0 -
Any microwavable ready meal I buy in the reduced-to-clear section of the supermarket. Failing that, tinned or packet soup (or occasionally leftover home-made) with garlic bread to dip in it.0
