I will eat basically anything but OH doesn't like potatoes, beans, peas, sweetcorn :mad: so doesn't like to make things easy
Have thought about hiding the stuff he doesn't like, but that's another story...
My favourite can't be bothered meal that we will both eat is a 'cheat's' carbonnara:
Cook spaghetti
Whilst cooking, fry onion and bacon (small pieces).
Put plug in sink and run hot water with smidge washing liquid.
When onion and bacon cooked, melt in a tub of mascarpone, drain spaghetti and mix into sauce, plate up and put pan in sink imediately.
Enjoy dinner.
Put feet up whilst OH/kids 'wash up'.
You could make it even quicker by having previously chopped bacon and onion in the freezer.0 -
Guys, this thread to me is like a cookbook!! I'm going to try out some of these "recipes" in the comming weeks!
My can't be bothered:
1 - Noddles
2 - Tined Mackrel in tomato sauce sandwich with whatever salad stuff is in sight and some "fiery" Doritos (the doritos add a crunch that makes this really great!)
3 - Tin of spagetti rings & sausage on toast, the grated cheese on top and grill for a few minutes (you can also make a sandwich out of this and put it in this sandwich maker thing that toasts the bread, melts the cheese and warms the spagetti up)
4 - Peanut butter & Honey sandwich with a milkshake (you can change the honey for strawberry jam)
5 - Cereal
6 - Soft boiled eggs on toast (yum!)0 -
Chinese instant noodles are always on standby in my cupboard. They have to be a Chinese brand though, NOT Pot Noodles (byek). I like to make a ramen-type soup by adding plenty of water, then add finely chopped spring onion, carrot, shredded lettuce leaves, some bean sprouts, and a hard-boiled egg for extra nutritiousness.Context is all.

Make your other half cook instead
Useless Husband has discovered the joys of fresh pasta and instant stir in sauces. I buy them on special offer and while it's not cheap, at least it's something he can't ruin and I don't have to bother.
If I'm obliged to cook for myself and I'm feeling lazy I like noodles, but I get the good quality ones from a chinese supermarket and throw in some veg so it's not too bad. I like pesto too, but I stir mine into plain basmati rice and grate a bit of cheese over the top.
I'm going to be off work sick for a few weeks so I filled the freezer with individual portions of healthy recipe home made soup. Easy to reheat and eat when you're poorly.0 -
Cheese and bean toasties! Or cheese and tomato or mushroom are also good.0
