Alan is out of town again this week - and I am by myself eating dinner. I hate to cook - especially for myself - and I always end up eating macaroni and cheese. What do you eat for dinner when your s/o is not home for dinner. I need to branch out for the next few nights - I don't think I can eat mac and cheese more than 2 nights in a row?

Now that I have two kids to cook for I tend to actually cook something...before that I would have cereal, soup, popcorn...ice cream (did I just admit that???)

Same here... cold cereal or popcorn. If I really want to treat myself, I'll hit McDonald's!

I love cold cereal too.....my favs are Raisin Bran...Cinnamon Life ,frosted mini wheats, and lucky charms...anything granolaish...I cook as little as possible anything i can just pop into the microwave.

My dh travels a LOT and when he's home, he's still rarely ever home for dinner...and B only eats purees, so I wind up eating frozen meals, cold cereal or a bag of popcorn. I've also been known to down a bag of jellybeans or a handful of cookies with a soda...I know, I'm the picture of healthful eating!

I'm with Lesley...cereal, all the way. My current fave is Cinnamon Life, b/c Ava sometimes eats a few bites too.

I am weird, I buy salmon and broil it. IT's the only time I can have fish in the house, because DH can't stand it. If not, I order sushi. He also can't stand it.

I'll get some sushi....YUMMY, a Lean Cuisine meal, or spaghettios (I know some people think they are gross but I LOVE them!) Otherwise, I make a meal out of cheese and crackers, LOL

Or....I hit up Taco Bell :smt036

I will usually eat cereal or sometimes make pancakes or something else "breakfasty". I love breakfast for dinner, but my DH not so much. I sometimes make stuff he doesn't like, like asparagus or brussel sprouts w/ pasta or something. If I am really in need of a treat I hit McD's, but then I hide the trash b/c I alwasy feed guilty after eating fast food.

This is hilarious! I thought I was the only one! My dh is usually home, but if he isn't, I'd probably just have a can of soup with a bagel. Or banana sandwiches! hee hee.
