What's for dinner? Did you have to shop for it today? How long did it take to prepare?

We're having cube steak pork chops (breaded in GF bread crumbs, then oven-baked) frozen green beans, frozen corn, and canned sweet potatoes. Today was so nice outside that I forgot to go to the grocery store until it was time to put dinner on the table. I had to go with what was in the fridge and pantry. The pork chops took 2 minute to prepare and 12 or so to bake. The veggies took 5 minutes to nuke. I feel like I should feel guilty, but plates were empty and we had time for a frozen yogurt run.

DD had friends over plus the weather was awesome so I threw hot dogs, beef and turkey burgers on the grill. 30 minutes and I was done. Made the run to Sweet Frog afterward. Yum.

OP, why should you feel guilty? That's ridiculous. You served your family a satisfying meal.

We are having frozen haddock from TJ's, steamed broccoli, and rice pilaf.

I did the fridge and pantry raid too! chicken strips, frozen veggies all warmed up with a butter-wine-parsley-dill sauce (and a little cornstarch to thicken). Over cous cous. Love the idea of having pork chops handy. I'm not sure I would ever have pork chops just hanging out in the fridge.

Ribeyes on the grill with tomato and onion salad. DH did all the shopping/cooking (Sat is "his" day to cook) so I didn't spend anytime on shopping/prep

Leftover pizza for me and the kids, chicken apple sausages for husband. Corn on the cob and fruit salad for all.

I don't get the guilt.

Scrounged in the fridge too and came up with steamed, mashed parsnips with butter; kale with onions and garlic in tomato sauce; and fried eggs. Kids hated it. I thought it was delish.

We went out to eat and the service was so insanely bad that we left after salads and before entrees. Every table around us was angry and they appeared to lock the doors (at 7:30pm) after we left as they clearly were overwhelmed and couldn't handle any more customers. We had waited 90+minutes for our food.

So we came home and I had some frozen vegetarian chicken tenders and hummus/pretzels. Rest of family is having grilled chicken and baked potatoes, I will join them for some roasted cauliflower.

Where did you go? And why don't you eat with your family?

Well I am actually visiting extended family right now with my daughter who is an infant. I was particularly hungry when we got home (breastfeeding makes me famished!) so I ate a quick meal while they made a more in depth one.
