[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i am only cooking for two, but we have several days we are not home for dinner.  i usually get a couple things ready in the fridge on sunday or monday and make things from that during the week when we are home.

for instance i might have a pound of cooked chicken.  i can add some to a salad, make gyros or add some to a pasta.  my husband doesn't care what we eat and i don't care enough to make a big effort.  we always have something to eat.

if i had kids here i wouldn't have them eating chicken nuggets every night, though.  i would cook actual food.[/quote]

Hahahaha, I want this poster to have known ds and then come back and post in a few years.

We cook "actual food" almost every day, because that's what we eat. We have a picky eater who eats maybe 10% of what we eat. I always have stuff like chicken nuggets, peanut butter for toast, simple cheddar cheese, apple sauce, etc. Because it's incredibly rare that the picky eater will be willing to eat enough of the "actual food" we eat to not be hungry.

Last week I made this delicious pasta with an arugula and pistachio pesto that I thought was super kid friendly -- I made it because I wanted a spring pasta but also because I thought farfalle with a green sauce would be appealing.

Not one bite. We heated up chicken nuggets and frozen peas both nights we ate it. Oh well. At least I enjoyed it.[/quote]
Would he have eaten the pasta plain of with a jarred red sauce?[/quote]
