Having a buffet of cold leftovers from yesterday’s dinner, so have pizza, quiche, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and crisp. Far too hot for cooking!

Bought far too much yesterday! BF said don’t cook, it’s too hot, do a bbq instead. I suggested having picky things for dinner instead, we went a bit overboard in M&S, far too much to chose from!

Just made roasted gnocchi, peppers and sausage. Very easy - just a bit of chopping, then chuck it all in a big dish with seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Roast, serve, eat! Delish!
So simple but very tasty

@Alyssa646 @Ian_Chimp i can cook a little don’t get me wrong. And I certainly don’t expect to be cooked for every day. Oh works too but if I come home and everyone else has eaten it gets to me a little!
Majority of the time when I get home I’m completely done in and after a shower I just can’t be bothered to start cooking, plus most nights I need to get on with emails and paperwork etc! I’m probably so done in though each day with the not eating I know that!

You could try making a batch of something at the weekend, and either fridging it or freezing it? That way it can be warmed up pretty easily and quickly when you do get in. Curry, bolognese, cottage pie, that kind of thing. Pasta is quick to cook fresh, or rice (couscous is even quicker if you’re really in a rush).

I agree. Batch-cooking saves so much time in the long run; depending on how many of you there are in the household, you/OH could do a serves 6-8 traybake to eat fresh, and also have warmed-up the day after, but also freeze a few servings for homemade microwave meals to eat the following week/month. It works well with a big pan of something stewy/saucy too, which only needs an accompanying jacket potato, or pan of rice popping on to cook beforehand. Heck, a nice chunk of crusty bread even. Once you get a rotation of batched food going, it’s possible to only have to cook (together) twice a week, and you can mix things up more with a cheat night takeaway
I’m able to finish earlier on Fridays when I can help do this, and we also do a session on Sunday afternoons. A cheap food processor helps chop/slice the veg, but frozen/tinned is also handy to cut a few corners

@Ian_Chimp i used to do this, ended up eating my lunch on my way to the job and always took one of my dinners and had it for lunch
I was in the deep proverbial before Got in from work about 9, burnt, tired drained! Oh cooked and done me a plate! I looked at it and was so wiped out I just didn’t want anything! It got lashed in the bin and I was called an ungrateful you know what and told “that’s the last time you get anything made by me!” I said well it was the first time too so She’s angry

It’s far too hot to be standing over a hot stove.
I’ve just been making healthy snacks and quick simple meals like pasta.
