do you find you just can't be bothered cooking a main type meal? that you'd just rather have, say, soup and a wee pud?

I'm going off this eating lark in the wrong way aren't I? I should just be having the main bit and none of the other nice bits

No, I love my food too much!  

Most days I'll cook from scratch for myself, either a joint or a chicken breast, potatoes, at least three veg, sometimes a Yorkshire pudding and gravy.  At the same time I do a salad for him, or pasta bake, macaroni cheese,  (cos he doesn't like 'proper dinners' and I don't like what he eats!  We have different home cooked meals 90% of the time!

We have a cooked tea every night but Friday night is takeaway night

[vamo48]

Absolutely not! We have a cooked dinner made from scratch every day (well, apart from the Aldi Scotch pies on Thursday) and have just finished a home made soup for supper, two helpings of it as well.  Home made rolls for breakfast tomorrow

Meal cooked from scratch every day...no puddings...but lots of veg

Lovely slow cooked beef with loads of winter veg today

The only time we have a pud is at Christmas.  We normally have a main meal every day cooked from scratch.  We have fruit a couple of hours after we've had our tea.

I don't do the cooking, but it depends on how tired I am.

I try to eat a yoghurt first thing - if I am running late it can be eaten in the car on the way to work / meeting.

Usually a sandwich at lunchtime as it is quick and easy to eat at my desk. Mostly one of those sandwich thins as it is easy to carry wrapped in foil.

If I am tired in the evening I rarely manage to eat a full meal, so it is usually something quick and easy - egg on toast, cauliflower cheese, soup or something. It isn't unusual for me to fall asleep whilst eating.

If it is a duvet day I usally skip the yoghurt as I am rarely awake much before lunch. Lunch will often be fresh fruit. It will then be a meal cooked from scratch in the evening with plenty of veggies.  If I really fancy some fruit sorbet for pud, but mostly no pud.

I'll take that as a no then hahahahaa!!!!

oh I'm a norty girl then aren't I? OH always wants a pud, tin rice, or fruit, or cake, I think it's a habit we've got into.

I think the daft hours we work don't help. Ed, I'm very impressed with you mate, your hours are dafter than mine!!

I think I better keep the slow cooker out hadn't I?

I must admit though on my days off I don't mind cooking the lunch because it's not a mad dash!!!!

Slow cookers must be the best thing ever invented, bung it all in and leave it to it,  4, 6 or 8 hours later Ta dah tea is ready.
