What's your evening meal stop-gap?

Some really great ideas here, thanks you guys!

My saviour is Kids ravioli , the chicken and vegetable or beef and vegetables. I mix some pasta sauce or ricotta cheese through it.

Also the kids love fried rice. If we have steamed rice from the night before just fry it with some veg and egg and ham, frozen veg if easier.

Cream cheese, vegemite and avocado sandwiches if I am in a total rush to get to work on time. They LOVE that combo the best for some reason.

I really love zucchini slice. It's so simple & easy - the only downfall is it uses a lot of eggs & sometimes we don't have 6 spare eggs as my youngest is mad on eggs. We usually have a few rashers of bacon, a spare zucchini, some cheese, flour, corn & tomato on hand to make it though. It's delicious.

I'm also a fan of baked beans on toast (when we are in Aus, the baked beans here are awful).

Those microwave couscous packets.

easy mac
eggs on toast
frozen stuff - chips/nuggets/fish fingers
get some steam fresh vegies.. in the frozen vegie section of the super market... chuck them in the microwave for 2 mins and you're done!
wheatbix
cornflakes

and another tip - make extra on those nights when you do cook and just freeze leftovers!!

chickpea burgers - puree a can of chickpeas, add a tablespoon of chutney, one egg and a quarter of a cup of self-raising four, then fry into fritters. even meat-eaters love them.

I like to have "create-a-meal" packets in the freezer and some kind of stirfry meat, dinner in 15mins..... the tupperware microwave rice cooker cooks rice that doesnt need draining in 10mins and and the create a meals have sauce and veges all ready for the frypan.....

other than that we are definately toasted sanga fans too.
my hubby likes pasta with butter and my daughter eats it, but that sounds boring and gross to me so I prefer noodles with canned tuna and or cheese.

Nachos! and to make it healthy, add avo, grated carrot, chopped tomatos, char grilled red peppers and letuce on top

Baked beans topped with a fried egg.

Spaghetti Alio Olio (with garlic and olive oil, a little salt, a hint of chilli), top with loads of freshly grated parmesan or similar and stir some roughly chopped baby rocket through it. Yummmmm

Sautee some spring onions, capsicum or whatever else you have in your fridge, add some eggs, stir it up to make a kind of bubble and squeak type thing. If you have any ham, bacon or cooked sausages lying around, you can put them in there, too.

Sardines on toast

Can't think of anything else right now...
