Sometimes I make up and shop for a weekly meal plan. The rest of the time I figure it all out at about 3pm. I know that life would be easier for me if I just got myself ready ahead of time. But alas, usually I'm doing a crossword or the daily newspaper sudoku. It's my own fault.
Sometimes I don't even get it together at 3 o'clock or 4 or 5. So at 5:15 I panic and this is what I make:
Lazy Dinner
mix together and let sit for 8 mins or so:
1 cup cous cous (which I always have buckets of on hand because I never plan my shop and thus always forget that I have some)
1 cup boiling water
then stir in:
1 BIG tablespoon of sundried tomato pesto
then add any or all of the following:
1 or 2 Avocados cut into bite sized chunks (I usually always add this)
Any combination of veggies that I have lying around. Today it was:
Some lettuce (my boys take these out of their dinner as they 'don't eat leaves' - one day they'll get get gout or something hideous and ill be able to say that I told them so)
Julienne sliced snow peas
Corn-on-the-cob steamed and then sliced so it's corn-off-the-cob(?)
Capsicum/Red Bell Peppers cut up really fine (the boys then fall into my trap and eat them)
Toasted slivered almonds
Sometimes I have different things on hand so I just go crazy in my disorganised housewife world and toss in:
Chick peas or similar
Tofu (husband complains at this ;) )
Other peppers/capsicums
Tomatoes (this is a total lie because I don't like them uncooked)
And when the moons are going crazy sometimes I put meat in, usually chicken
