What's your 'can't be bothered' dinner/tea?

HB81

Hi Zara,
We usually have a quick/easy/cheap tea one night a week just as you are thinking with either egg or beans or something on toast or soup with bread. Nice to have a night off cooking as these type of meals are so quick to make. I don't see that it does any harm, so long as we're filled up and the rest of the week/month has a good balanced diet.

We have a left over night once a week - and if there are no leftovers, then we have a treat and I make Pizza. At least thats the plan - sometimes I order takeout! I find it difficult to plan the meals using leftovers as when I do that you can guarantee that the children will find it delicious, or my OH will be starving. We have packed lunches so I do use the leftovers for that, but the children adore egg & chips or cold meat & chips. And if I really can't be bothered then it is beans on toast for the kids and takeaway for us!!!

I try to make meals that have leftovers so I can use them another night But yes, we do have nights where we don't have something I would normally make. Last night we had beans on toast, and we'll usually have tinned soup at least once a fortnight.

Pasta all the way!
Either with easy cheesy sauce - tablespoon flour, oil, large glug of milk, teaspoon of mustard & lots of cheese. I pop sunflower seeds on the top for crunch.
Or - easy tomato sauce (learnt in Italy), squeezy garlic, mixed herbs (or basil/oregano), tomato puree, cheese and a little oil. Scrummy.

Or Omlette on the rare occasion i've run out of pasta.

Cooked pasta with 2 tablespoons of pesto stirred through (readymade if I dont have any of my own), a dollop of butter, a couple of tomatoes chopped-up and some grated cheese over the top (Parmesan if I have it).

Served with salad - if I have some.

my 'cant be bothered' to cook supper for OH is to bung a part-baked baguette in the oven then grill some bacon. open baguette while still hot and put the bacon in then put on a couple of those processed cheese slices (I call them mcDs cheese). alternatively - I put in some tomato slices and a bit of lettuce for a BLT!

It's an invention of OHs late father, and a favourite with his whole family - tomato cheese.

Fry off an onion, add a tin of tomatoes, heat up, and add some grated cheese, and stir until nice and melty/ creamy. Serve on toast, serves 2, so multiply accordingly.

Omlettes with whatever is in the fridge thrown in bacon and eggs or jacket spuds!!
