Just had canned dolmas, hummus, cherry tomatoes, and toast. My spouse and I both had it but we’re lesbian, so I guess it counts.

Aged cheddar, crackers, pre-sliced soppressata, nuts. Maybe hummus and pita. Another easy one is frozen dumplings with gyoza sauce.

Same! 😂

Yesssss. I used to have wheat thins, hummus, and string cheese for dinner. Real home cooked dinner have done me in.

I knew a few women at my office who would make a baked potato for dinner if their husbands were out of town. I guess it varies because I’ve never in my life thought to make a baked potato without the rest of the meal.

Just wanted to add that it is completely annoying that this is called a "girl dinner." Call me a salty old feminist, but didn't we fight to be called women, not girls? Also, eat some real food and quit disguising disordered eating as a lifestyle choice. Also, why is everything $%#&^% gendered? JFC.

We call these homemade lunchables in my house, and we have it for dinner once every couple of weeks when we can't be bothered to cook or go out. It's basically a cheese board - cheese, crackers, some kind of cured meat, fruit, usually some kind of dip and cut veg.

We don't want to be adulting anymore, back to being girls.

Words are rough stones of our culture war. Crude, dull, easily available weapons.

This is called snacky dinner (or lunch) in my house and it was a lifesaver when I had picky toddlers. It’s also great when it’s hot and humid and nobody wants to actually cook.
