I'm exhausted - going lazy tonight. Grilled cheese and tots! Not balanced but whatev.
What is your go to meal for your LO when you're wiped?
-
Campbell's chicken noodle soup with extra frozen veggies added in.
-
Earth's best pre-cooked meatballs & bbq sauce, yogurt, cheese, a pouch, etc. ha. I have gotten pretty good about quick and easy meals dealing with 2 at home
-
mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, and fruit cup
-
Peanut butter and jelly with whatever fruit we have on hand
-
@lilyann: Yup. Sometimes with my two a meal consists of whatever I can grab and serve with one hand out of my fridge.
Our go to meal for C is usually scrambled eggs, cheese/yogurt, and some fruit. Quick and he loves it!
-
Waffles, cereal...that's being super lazy. When my toddler demands hers frozen? Even better
gross though.
-
Fish, frozen veggies and mac and cheese usually maybe just yogurt instead of mac and cheese
-
Quesadilla. It would be great to add beans or veggies but for maximum laziness I just do tortilla and cheese.
-
mac n cheese and fruit and turkey dogs
-
Frozen meatballs (the party size ones from Trader Joe's), frozen peas, cottage cheese, grapes
-
@Bao: what is with these kids and frozen food> DD will only eat broccoli frozen.
-
Chicken quesadillas and carrot sticks
-
@plantains: so weird!
-
@Bao: what even made her think of eating it frozen to begin with? Toddler minds are interesting! lol
-
Something from the freezer, like meatballs, with a cut up avocado and fruit.
-
My go to easy meal: sliced turkey, cheese (string or a slice), handful of grapes and a heated up frozen veggie if she will eat it..
-
@hummusgirl: I fancy this meal up with whatever fruits and veggies are about to go bad. No shame!
-
This week it's been frozen peas + piece of cheese + slices of turkey + apple slices.
-
Rice, some form of meat (deli meat, Costco roasted chicken, hot dog), cheese and then whatever fruit we have.
-
Eggs and sausage.
-
Gerber pasta. 25 seconds in the microwave and I'm done...it's the ultimate in laziness! Plus whatever we have handy that doesn't require cooking for sides.
-
Frozen Earths Best chicken nuggets and Annie's easy mac and cheese and maybe a banana or easy fruit I have on hand. No shame in a quick meal!
-
@lilyann: oh man. O used to go NUTS for those meatballs!! I stopped buying because she was going through them too quickly for the cost, but gosh they were like toddler crack.
-
Scrambled eggs, cheese, fruit and maybe a mini fruit/veggie muffin from the freezer.
Having frozen healthy mini muffins is a life saver in itself haha.
-
Peanut butter and "jelly" (mashed up raspberries) sandwich.
Which works for me because that's basically all my 15 month old wants to eat lately
-
Fishball noodle soup! I always have homemade stock and fishballs in the freezer. I just add whatever veg I have on hand. And it's a guaranteed eat for DD.
-
Cheese cubes and a pouch or frozen veggies. She will eat cheese cubes all day. Some of your "easy" meals are about as complicated as we get in this house! And I like cooking!
-
Kids cuisine chicken nuggets. Lol
-
Oh I forgot about Pizza Rolls too
-
@regberadaisy: do you have a recipe for fish balls? I try to have ready made frozen proteins on hand, but I never thought of fish! My go to quick meal is beans, cheese and a frozen veggie.
-
Grilled cheese or scrambled eggs
-
scrambled eggs with some form of bread
-
Whatever frozen veg we have in the freezer, a frozen protein (like a cube of chicken breast), and maybe half an avocado for something fresh.
-
Soup! She loves the stuff.
-
@kpc324: nope. I stock up in NYC when I'm home. I get it from a lady that makes them. She has a little storefront in Chinatown. DD 1 is addicted to them along with fish tofu!
-
Apple slices, cut up cheese, chicken nuggets, and usually frozen mango or another frozen fruit. And pickles!
-
Frozen pancakes from trader joes that you heat up in the microwave.
-
Aidell's meatballs (they have one type that are totally dairy and soy free) warmed up, with whatever frozen vegetable I have. Honestly, all the cooking I do is "lazy" cooking because I only have an hour after we get home until I have to feed LO. So usually I just steam a veggie and cook some type of meat really fast. Almost everything is from frozen.
Another lazy meal is frozen salmon fillets--I just throw them on a pan with olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper, and dill and broil for 10 min.
-
Frozen peas dumped straight out of the bag (she likes them cold), cheese quesadilla and whatever fruit we have on hand. Total of 5 minutes prep if that.
