I've been pretty good about planning my meals for the week but tonight I just didn't feel like cooking anything. I was going to make turkey tacos which are easy to make but didn't even feel like doing that. I wound up eating popcorn and a yogurt smoothie.

What's your quick "go to" meal when you just don't feel like making anything?

    I'll have cereal with fruit, or a PB & J, or boiled eggs - I'm usually low on protein though... so depending on how much cals i have left, I will make a smoothie or Elvis Oatmeal (oatmeal with peanut butter and a banana)

    Great question! I usually have enough energy to make some eggs when I feel that way, or a frozen dinner... But my favorite go-to is cereal. There are some good options with protein now, so all the better!

    Either macaroni & cheese and green beans (My 7 year old's favorite) or else frozen pizza. None of which is all that healthy, but it is quick. I also will do grilled cheese in our griller and make tomato soup.

    I try to keep some Stroehmann's Honey Wheat or Whole Grain White bread and some Oscar Meyer oven roasted white turkey breast on hand for those days. Also some sweet potato fries (love them) and My Essentials (Food Lion brand) yogurt.:)

    I make a huge batch of soup usually and then freeze portion sizes with calories written on bag. When I dont feel like making anything, I just thaw it and heat it in the micro :D

    I don't consider a salad cooking. I can do a simple spinach, cherry tomatoes, onions and feta cheese.

    I keep at least one frozen dinner that's usually around 350 calories here for emergencies. You can add some extra frozen veggies to it so it's more filling.

    But this time of year, all I have to do is ask hubby if he wants to go get fish tacos and we go out to eat. He loves sitting outside on their patio.
