Yeah, but I just jokingly call it "tapas dinner"

I did not know you could eat cheese and crackers together. Is this a European thing?

It’s a stupid name for what is snacks for dinner and no, I don’t eat this way.

I hate the name of it. Gen Zis generally annoying.

Yes. When we did this in the 90s it was called charcuterie.

We call it snack dinner around the houseand it's a whole family thing. It's not an every day thing for us for sure (maybe once a month, tops) but cheese, crackers, fruit, veggies and hummus kind of thing. When you've had a busy day and just need to eat.

Before I had kids my go to solo dinner was "what I have in fridge with eggs" scramble.

Well I’m a woman who lives alone and isn’t a good cook, so ….? But I don’t like cheese, salami, pickles or olives. I’ve dumped bone broth in a pot , then tossed in ramen and chicken breast. Scrambled eggs and toast. A yogurt, fruit, and piece of toast.

Yes but I’m a man so the gender thing is dumb.

Oh yes. Absolutely.

Yes it is. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1143036.page

100%. DH is traveling this week and I have appetizer leftovers from Easter so it's girl dinner palooza for me. When I'm by myself I just don't want to mess around with anything too hands-on in the kitchen and it feels like a treat.

Absolutely do girl dinner when DH/kids are out and I’m on my own. I don’t do it for weight loss/diet reasons although I know I consume fewer calories than had I made a “proper meal” for the family. Also, no dishes/pots and pans to clean up.

I call it toddler dinner. Usually cheese, hummus, crackers, carrots or other veg.

Yum! My favorite girl dinner is cereal. I’m not a breakfast person (makes me nauseous to eat in the morning) so I don’t get to eat cereal often.

Dh is convinced that every meal needs to be hot and there has to be meat. It gets old.

My mom was queen of apps and snacks for dinner (always with addition of crudités and cut fruit). She def instilled a love of simple prep/comfort food. It’s my fave way to eat. Also I don’t work a 9-5 and often miss dinner with family. I have a more traditional dinner as lunch. Works for me
