Really? How do you make it? DH just came home with that pack and I don't know what to do with all of it.

Bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and a Coke Slurpee.

Frosted mini-wheats with strawberries. Cereal for dinner is my go-to.

Yes! Toast the bread. It makes the Nutella all melty and the strawberries sink in. It’s a fondue!

So long as it wasn’t still frozen.

I will add Walking Tacos

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches w/side of carrot sticks

Boxed mac n cheese with frozen peas

Hot dogs with a side of a clementine and one of the green HappyBaby pouches (lol)

Frozen dinosaur chicken nuggets with a side of...frozen Dr Praeger's dinosaur spinach nuggets

My mom's famous no fuss dinner is boxed mac n cheese, peas, and canned tuna.

It's the Cindy Special

I prefer frozen peas, but otherwise this is a staple.

We eat spam about once a week in my family with rice and everyone gets a packet of roasted seaweed snacks to make little spam musubi roll ups with. Big hit for everyone.

Roasting asparagus is the way to go.

It can be, but the Smitten Kitchen snacky asparagus is also delicious and an easy thing to put in the fridge for grazing or throw in a lunch box.

Now, back to the topic at hand.

Nachos. Dump chips on plate, dump cheese on chips, nuke, dump salsa

We’re having Taco Bell tonight for maybe the fourth time in the 9 years my oldest has been on the planet. They are acting like we just announced a parade.

My husband made frozen meatballs, added left-over pasta that he made yesterday, reconstituted IKEA gravy and cooked some asparagus as the token green veggie. He knows the kids will only eat a few spears, but that way he can declare that *green veggies were eaten*.

I'm sick, so I don't care at all.

Whaddaya got, DCUM? What dinners do you make that DCUM Would NEVER?

That’s not food. I’m not a pearl clutcher but why eat like that? You could get a nice sour dough and havarti with lots of butter. At least it’s actual food.

As for myself, homemade pizza.
