    pasta- carton of thickened cream, pasta, frozen vegies, tomato paste and diced ham/bacon or a tin of tuna. also great if you forget to take meat out of the freezer!

    usually my "I can't be bothered tonight" ends in takeaway

    Gawd, I think all our meals are can't be bothered meals!

    I do a lovely creamy potato bake that takes about two minutes to prepare, then an hour(ish) in the oven and we eat it out of the aluminium containers I cook it in... Tacos are also fun...

    Besides the usual baked beans, canned soup with toast sambos or baked potatos I have a slice recipe that is basically eggs, zucchini, cheese, ham & carrots all thrown together. If we feel like it we'll also have chips or more veggies with it but it's quite filling on it's own!

    burritos
    nachos/wedges made with left over burrito mix lol
    salad wrap made with cold chicken (this is staple lunch on work days - we just change the "flavour" of the chicken we have the night before)
    pasties
    home made pizza
    stir fry (cheat and grab noodles and packaged veg in the supermarket, throw it in with whatever meat and sauce you want - if you want meat of course!)
    chicken kievs and veg
    bubble and squeak


    when we're going through a phase like this we tend to cook in advance (slow cooker or other bulk means) and then just put it in the freezer in meal sized portions to either heat in the micro or bake in the oven...
