DH has class 3 nights a week and I am home alone with DS. Usually I try to make something ahead of time (stuffed peppers or something easy to reheat) but some weeks/nights I am just not on my game. Tonight I reheated pizza that was way too old to be eating, I'm actually embarrassed.
-
I always order sushi
DH hates it so its a special treat just for me -
I don't usually cook cook (so lazy) so I'll snack, cereal and milk, leftovers..
If I know there'll be a night I'm on my own, I might buy a frozen pizza, box of mac n cheese or some other guilty frozen pleasure. I'm bad.
-
Awww, pizza is always good!
I always have to cook because I need to feed DD anyway! I try not to feed her too many carbs so I always do a meat, veg, and fruit.
-
@sorrycharlie: I need to have an "emergency" meal on hand...like frozen pizza or something that is easy to make. I didn't even have pasta or sauce! Our pantry is BARE.
-
@autumn865: I wish I liked sushi.!!
-
I eat everything in sight. It's shameful.
-
@Mrs. Polish: haha. That is the best answer ever!!
-
Sometimes I'll cook an entire meal. Other times I eat a bowl of cereal or some peanut butter/banana toast.
-
@Mrs. Polish: This used to be me! I secretly loved when he had class/worked late so I could eat my guilty pleasures in private
umm spoonfuls of peanut butter with chocolate chips anyone?
-
@petunia354: Well now I have something new I have to try. I never even thought of that!
@Andrea: I wish I were kidding. Haha.
-
Usually spaghetti - it grosses DH out.
-
Alfredo or mac n cheese.
-
My husband works afternoons 4 days a week, so I can't really make it a habit to indulge when he's away. I usually have chicken/salad that I pre-prepare or leftovers from a night that he was home.
When he was away less frequently my go to dinner was a disgustng amount of air popped popcorn with butter and a cucumber just to say I had veggies. -
@Bao: mmmmm alfredo. can't remember the last time I had that!
-
I tend to snack & eat too much if DH is gone in the evenings. Good thing it doesn't happen too often.
-
Usually I snack.
I'll microwave frozen meatballs, eat fruit, veggies, hummus, nuts... -
@Mrs. Polish: ditto! I have been so bad this week. And I am supposed to be doing WW. Fail!
-
@petunia354: I love the Hersey mini bars with peanut butter on top.......
-
I like to slice up lots of cheese and pepperoni and eat it in one sitting.
-
Marshmallows and cereal. I'm trying to be good now, so it ends up being a Lean Cuisine.
-
Cookies. I hide my ginger snaps abovr the fridge and sneak them when DH is away.
-
@Mrs. Polish: I know? I don't know why but when in home alone, I just keep ending up in the kitchen.
I eat like crap when my husbands not home, which is like once a week. When he's home, I try to cook a healthy low/cal meal. He probably thinks I have really great eating habits.
-
@Mrs. Polish: I'm with you. DH has been out of town for work more lately....... and things have gotten out of control. Whoops.
-
All sorts of disgusting stuff - I had salt n vinegar chips with dark chocolate raisins for dinner tonight. It was all my preggo stomach wanted. Then DH came home with cupcakes so I had that too. I make sure to eat healthy breakfasts and lunches but by evening I'm tapped out. DH isn't home for dinner 4 out of 5 nights, I really need to step my game up!
-
@Mrs. Polish: haha that's my answer!
When DH goes out of town I have a bad habit of eating so much chips and french onion dip that dinner isn't necessary.
-
My husband knows that my go to meal is cheese and crackers with some wine. It's usually delicious cheese and good crackers but still. Not exactly a well rounded meal.
-
I eat like a 10 year old with no parents. It's just me and the husband for now, so if I'm home alone at mealtime, I eat anything and everything my little heart desires. Pita chips and tzatziki sauce, cookies, popcorn, whatever random fruit we may have laying around, Pop-tarts. It's really bad but I have no one to blame but myself since I do the grocery shopping and buy all that crap and keep it around. *Hangs head in shame*
-
Ramen......the kind you get from a Chinese supermarket, not cup-o-noodle.
-
@Smurfette: I'll have to look into those....could be dangerous.
-
Totally go back to my college staples: Party pizza, pizza rolls, cereal for dinner, grilled cheese. By the time I get LO fed, bath, in bed I'm too tired to make a meal for just me!
-
My go to meals are omelettes. I can eat those morning, noon, or night!
-
Usually spaghetti or some kind of pasta. Tonight (he's home but passed out...) I had popcorn and a giant chocolate peanut butter moose.
-
@StbHisMrs: I haven't made spaghetti in a long time. My DH complains it makes him super gassy. I use Ragu so I am wondering if I need to try another brand. But I do me love some spaghetti and chicken parmagian (sp??) yummy!!
