[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you make for dinner when you have no energy and are totally phoning it in? I’ll start:

Open-faced tuna melts, tomato soup from a can

Veggie “chicken” nuggets and oven fries, salad

Refrigerator-section ravioli or tortellini, jarred sauce, salad

Cavatappi with jarred light Alfredo sauce with frozen peas mixed in, asparagus

Make-your-own pizzas, salad[/quote]

Each of these is a real dinner in my house.  Not remotely phoning it in.  Seriously, what do you consider a decent meal?[/quote]

OP here. Fresh but simple: 
marinated roast salmon, steamed spinach, rice
Homemade chicken pot pie (weekend)
Homemade chili, soup or stew with cornbread and a salad
Eggplant Parmesan, salad, garlic bread
Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, asparagus (weekend)
Lots of things that would be considered “30 minute meals” or Pioneer Woman-level effort

Basically, two fresh/homemade things and maybe one phone-it-in side like Rice a Roni or frozen rolls[/quote]

Go to hell.[/quote]

I’d tell you the same, but I think you’re already there if the salt from all that Chef Boyardee is making you this cranky. These are all dead easy meals, and some are indicated as “weekend” cooking.[/quote]

I was only half serious. I'm an excellent cook. My comment was about the fact that you asked for simple dinner ideas when you "just can't" and then you're posting this list as a simple meal. I guess I should have said "Give me a break" instead of go to hell.[/quote]

I’m not OP, just someone who saw your overblown comment and recognized the insecurity that lies beneath. You can try to backtrack now but “go to hell” in response to OP literally answering a question that was asked of her is beyond. Step away from DCUM, really.[/quote]

I already said it was only halfhearted. I have no "insecurity that lies beneath" about what I make for dinner, or what anyone else makes for dinner. Oh brother.[/quote]

You said it was “halfhearted” only after you saw that you were called out for going to an insane level over someone daring to mention that they occasionally a chicken pot pie. [/quote]

NP. Not standing behind the go to hell comment, but seriously what was the point of this thread? OP wants suggestions for when she “just can’t”, which apparently means a normal dinner without homemade bread and a dessert course.

Pretty trollish.[/quote]

Could you please show me where OP mentions making homemade bead and a dessert course? You can’t just lie and make things up to try to prove your fictional point.

OP’s examples of “just can’t” nights include canned tomato soup and open-faced tuna melts. Her example of regular, making an effort night include salmon, a vegatable and rice. That’s not exactly Cordon Bleu cuisine.

But please, I will wait. Show me where OP mentioned homemade bread. Maybe another poster did; OP mentioned literally FROZEN rolls. Are you really giving her crap for serving frozen rolls?[/quote]

Go away already. You're ruining the thread.[/quote]

So because you can’t backup your fictional, made-up accusations, you want the person calling you out on your made-up accusations to “go away.” Got it.

Don’t think I will, though. If you have any truth to back up your false narrative, by all means, set the record straight. Otherwise, it’s OK to admit you were totally wrong.[/quote]
