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.


Your mom.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

So long as it wasn’t still frozen.

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

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