LOL.  I am not much of a meal planner.  I play it by ear.  They usually do want to eat, but sometimes they are happy to get their own dinner.  :P  Especially if I tell them I'm planning to cook something they're not fond of.

Everyone will be home late tonight, and they will be hungry when they get home, so I do need to have something ready. I think I will heat up some pot suckers in the instant pot and call it done. I have veggies already cut up. I can cut up a pineapple too.

Here's a sauce you could pour over the rice and pot stickers and vegetables:

2 cloves garlic (I use jarred)

2 green onions (all I could find was a sprouting white onion that I minced)

5 T. Soy sauce

2 T. Sugar

2 T. Oil

1 T. Sesame oil

Some pepper

Pot sucker = pot sticker I imagine. Stupid autocorrect!

 

Maybe cook some rice, also?

 

You are right, it is pot sticker. That was me, not the stupid autocorrect (this time!).

 

I am the only one who will eat the rice if I make it.

Yum! I have everything for this, so maybe I will make it.

My family always wants dinner.  I like to cook, but I don't like thinking of what to cook.

 

My husband is out for a dinner meeting tonight so I'm trying to talk the kids into making a dent in the giant bag of frozen ravioli I bought a few weeks ago.  I would take them out to eat, but I just paid $425 for two epi-pens so am feeling pinched.

No, standardized testing should be done in the morning when the students are alert. :zombie:

 

Here's my go to don't want to cook meal:

 

1 package chicken breasts or thighs

1 can Rotel tomatoes

Fresh or frozen spinach

any kind of cheese, but I like pepper jack

Sometimes I add rice and call it a casserole

 

Be generous with the cheese and the spinach.

I'm not a great lover of cooking and I don't do a lot of pre-planning.   Added to that, a lot of issues with insomnia and by 5pm I'm worn thin and my brain doesn't want to function.

 

On nights that I really just don't want to cook I'll make eggs and toast for dinner.

 

Chicken thighs are another easy meal maker. But, you have to have them on hand to make.

 

Tonight I'm cooking from the freezer.

 

My priest's wife has the best comeback to her kids:  "What do you mean you want to eat,  you just had dinner last night!"  LOL
