I’m sick of cooking. We have a lot of tomatoes from our garden. I make a no cook pasta sauce. The tomatoes are par boiled and cut up. Olive oil, lots of fresh garlic lots of fresh basil and parsley and salt. Mix in a non metal bowl. Cover and let set for two to four hours. The only thing to cook is the pasta. We love this.

That sounds heavenly. And your tomatoes are beautiful!

When my husband and I are home alone, we look for simple fix meals. Our go-to favorites are; BLT's, chicken, ham, or tuna salad sandwiches, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, country ham biscuits, or chef salads.

@jeanlake I’m lucky my husband is so easy when it comes to food. He likes everything. Whatever I fix is okay with him. We love turkey, cheese and rye bread grilled. Love left over pizza.

Green salads are my go-to fill in, usually the chef's style or if there's no meat to add (and I'm off red meat now) I add canned tuna.

Tonight we went to McDonalds. Not a favorite but one of the few here with a drive up window. I had a double fish filet which made it more substantial. Their fish is pretty good.

I'm very tired of my own cooking, too. Those fresh home grown tomatoes look sooo good!!! A plate of sliced 'maters with a little mayo would make a good dinner for me.

A smoothie of favorite ingredients with something like avocado on toast would be a good meal, too.

I am home by myself most week nights, so I don't always feel like cooking. My go-to dinners are pasta with sauteed spinach, garlic, olive oil, and locatelli; spinach omelet; salad with homemade dressing, or a scrambled or poached egg with spinach on an English muffin.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@Free2be I totally get it. Sometimes I don’t care who cooks what. I just want something to eat.

When I don't feel like cooking I either order in or go out to outside dining.

Sandwiches--turkey, chicken, ham, tuna, egg salad, etc. for easy/ cold meals or baked potatoes in the microwave are easy if you want something hot. We also have cereal and toast for dinner once in a while. Or just microwave some popcorn, have some fruit with it and call it dinner!!
