What do you eat for dinner when you're too tired to

luvmyteddy4 — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 01:43:39 GMT

to make something? I will include that I usually don't crave anything when I'm too tired to eat. I'm hungry though but I feel like I'll save the calories for another night.

Normally I will eat cereal, salad or peanut butter on toast and hope that the milk is still good and the lettuce. lol

Last night I had white cheddar popcorn.

By the way what does eggplant taste like, the one thing I've never tried maybe because it looks weird.

I will have a handful of nuts and a diet Pepsi. Delicious.

What a great question! I'll have cold cereal, or tuna fish, or pasta in my instant pot. I throw in some chickpea pasta, kale, a dab of better than bouillon, and sauce. Really good.

I love eggplant but it sure isn't something to consider when you're too tired to fix dinner. But you can cut it in half lengthwise and bake it till soft, then let it cool. Remove the skin. Mash the pulp with minced garlic, lemon, olive oil. You can add chopped tomatoes, chickpeas...lf you don't have those but have sesame tahini, add that and you have baba ganooj. Yum! Not hard but a bit time consuming.

Other people like to fry eggplant slices. Not my thing but it's very popular.

Whatever appeals to me. Soup, toasted English Muffin, big bag of microwave no-butter popcorn. Usually I would not bother but HAVE to cook for husband anyway or he'll pout so I make him get takeout of some sort.

Since I now work from home, I keep things in the freezer to eat in case I don't want to eat leftovers or cook something else. So I have corn dogs, onion rings, fries, White Castle burgers, Philly Cheesesteaks and occasionally chicken pot pies, frozen pizza. Recently however, fried egg sandwiches are my go to, easy to cook, fast meal along with naan bread pizza which is super fast to cook in the air fryer and is done before I could go get take out.

* Bacon, eggs, and half an avocado (I make the whole package of bacon when I open it and then only have to warm it when needed)

* Salami, cheese, pickle spears, maybe a few blueberries

* A big tossed salad - throw a little protein in if we have leftover grilled chicken or steak
* Two Good Yogurt, keto granola, blueberries
* Order pizza (we only eat the top)
* Keto granola, blueberries, almond milk
* Celery or mini peppers w/cream cheese and sprinkled with Everything Bagel Seasoning

I'll have some sliced cheese with either crackers or sliced apples. Eggplant doesn't have much of a flavor on its own. It takes on the flavors of the sauces or marinades you use to prepare it.

I pop a mini pizza in the microwave or make scrambled eggs and toast with peach preserves.

I always have stew, homemade soup, or something in the freezer. I can always make a sad and add cottage cheese. I also have grilled hamburgers in the freezer to have with leftover grilled veggies.

If I'm tired, I throw things in the crock pot.

Lots of good ideas. Standing over a stove and making grilled cheese or eggs would be too time consuming for me if I'm tired.

I opted for cherrios tonight with a Schwans mint ice cream bar for dessert.

luvmyteddy - When I don't want to cook -- scrambled eggs and toast or a grilled

cheese sandwich with some fruit are two quick things I make.

A chicken breast, Greek yogurt with a banana and grapes.

Homemade soup from the freezer.

Marie Callender's frozen dinner. No artificial ingredients in those I buy and are low calorie...230-360, all have vegetables. Only 6-8 minutes in the microwave, very tasty.

Wow, if I was so tired that I couldn’t even fry a couple of eggs, I’d forget about eating and hit the hay.
