Dinner when DH is not home
What do you do for dinner when you're on your own?
I'm guilty of eating a whole box of Kraft mac and cheese one night. When DH got home, he was like "so what did you eat, are there any leftovers?". I couldn't even look him in the eye. LOL!

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
Cereal, half a cake, cookies, any type of frozen entree if I was too lazy to order in. Not all in one night, lol! These are some of the things I used to consume when I was alone and didn't have to cook.

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
Often just popcorn and ice cream. 
Sometimes a tofu stirfry or soup or something because I love tofu but DH won't go near it.

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
to be honest I really cook for DH...if it was up to me, I would be happy with a bowl of cereal or something frozen.

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
Leftovers, a lean cuisine meal, or something easy like a sandwich or turkey burger.

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
I will usually still cook, at least he can have the leftovers. If not, I might have soup or a veggie burger or english muffin and eggs.

I'll make english muffin pizzas, or use pizza dough to make my own pizza.
grilled cheese
a big salad
ravioli (just through it in boiling water)
pasta (again, just make enough for me and DS)
Frozen soup that I made weeks earlier-just defrost for a quick dinner

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
I've been known to consume an ENTIRE, yes an ENTIRE block of cracker barrel cheese, which is like 10 servings.
I usually snack on cheese and crackers with fruit and veggies or I go for all junk...
a donut or a bunch of cookies or some candy
yikes!!

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
I cook for the kids more than my hubs so if - for some odd reason - he's not home, we eat the same as usual. HOWEVER.. if I'm completely on my own I don't even bother cooking. I open a bottle of wine, run a bath and have a real liquid evening!

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
The other night I knew DH was coming home late and I was in the mood to cook anyway, so I made homemade nachos.
Layered baked tortilla chips in a casserole pan
Half a can of turkey chili
half can diced tomatoes (rinsed, drained)
half can black beans (rinsed, drained)
half can corn (rinsed, drained)
Hot Sauce
Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
Repeat once more.
Came out pretty good and I was satisfied

I will usually make something quick like an omelette or just stuff my face with random things because I am obsessed with snacking

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
I usually make dinner anyway because I have to feed DS, but on the rare occassion I can get away with feeding him something simple like grilled cheese or leftovers, I will make myself a PB & J or something simple like that. I won't cook a full-meal for myself.

Re: Dinner when DH is not home
This is my dilemna, since DH travels for weeks at a time. He is in Malaysia for the next two weeks. Now that DS eats real food and I am 5 months pregnant, I can't just make junk food for me.
I was thinking of making a tray of baked ziti, that will last me for a few days I figure. I make a lot of chicken because it's easy. Sometimes I'll make a steak. I make a lot of pasta.
I need to spend some time menu planning this week.
