Hellobee Boards

I eat dessert instead.

Those are usually pizza nights in our households, haha.

This happens a lot more frequently than I would like to admit. It is typically a take out night unless we are too tired or it is too late then it is a crackers and peanut butter kind of night. My husband is very low maintenance and has very low expectations for my cooking abilities so he is great with going with the flow.

Cereal, ramen or yogurt!

Cereal! Or can you salvage it by making it spicy? That sometimes works...

I don't think I've ever made an inedible meal, because I taste and change recipes as I go along. I have had things not cook properly though, or burn, in which case I'll just toss it and eat a quick meal like a bean salad or soup.

It only happened once that it was so bad I can't eat it (slow cooker completely and totally burned all the chicken) so we ordered pizza from the place down the street (walking distance, bonus). Otherwise I'll suffer through it for one serving and maybe not save the rest. Or more likely, but the rest in the fridge, never want it, and toss it after it sits there for a week or two. I'm gross.

In your situation, sounds like a cereal or scrambled eggs for dinner kind of night.

subway or cereal! lol

That happened to me tonight! I made Roasted Herbed Sausage and Butternnut Squash today. It roasted too long and the butternut squash was so mushy. Gross. I ate the sausage out of it and asked DH to take it away. I pretend that it didn't just go in the garbage.

If it's disgusting, I'll throw it away and make something fast and easy, like ramen noodles.

If it is really terrible I will usually toss it bc yucky leftovers are the worst. I usually will eat peanut butter and jelly toast or cheese and crackers as a back up meal. This hasn't happened in a long time

@MungBean: Yuck.
