Some days, I just don't feel like eating. It's not that I'm sick or
anything...I just don't feel hungry. But, being diabetic, skipping meals
isn't really a good plan, and besides, I do believe my family would be less
than thrilled if I began saying "We're not having dinner tonight, ok?"...

So, I just need some new ideas...things you might make if you don't feel
like eating or like cooking, or just things you make when it's 7 p.m. and
you forgot to take out that steak....

thanks!

kimberly

Pasta with pesto.
Chocolate.
Bagels and cream cheese.
Sliced roast beef from the deli section of the supermarket.
Carrots sliced the long way and dunked in salad dressing.
Ice cream.
Pita pizza (pita bread, spread with canned tomato sauce, whatever
vegetables are in the fridge and grated cheese, toasted in the little
toaster oven).

Granted not all those suggestions are applicable to your situation, but
that is what I eat when I don't feel like eating.

Here is what I eat when I either don't feel like cooking or am strapped for
time. A lot of these may not be applicable for a family, as I'm a single,
but it's what I usually end up doing...

Cornbread Pancakes
Chicken Strips (the breaded ones that you can get in the freezer section; i
get manor house or something like that)
Stoufer's Five Cheese Lasagna
Frozen Pizza
Bagel Pizza's (store bought tomato sauce doctored up with italian seasoning
and maybe some garlic, store bought bagels, cheese, and maybe some
pepperoni)
Ham and Cheese Sandwhiches
Raw Vegetables (carrots, broccoli)
Garlic Bread
Kraft Mac and Cheese with Tuna mixed in (can't believe I'm admitting that
here... ;-) In my defense however, the mood for that one only strikes about
once a year)
Polish Sausage (nuked or george forman grilled) on a hotdog bun, with
ketchup
Baked Potato

On the days you do feel like cooking ....cook an extra serving or 6. That
way on the days you don't feel like cooking you just have to defrost and
re-heat. Thank god for the boil in a bag meal and also for microwave ovens.

I'm not diabetic, so I can easily make a nutritious meal of a liter of wine,
cheez-its (get yer own box), and a jar of olives... and no I'm not prego
either.

Amen... for me it's usually Ritz Crackers topped with Asiago, Smoked
Summer Sausage and a good Spicy Mustard... followed by a cheap Chardonnay...

~john!

depends on my level of cooking apathy. If I have some energy, I'll heat up a
can of soup-progresso anything, normally. If turning on the stove is to much
effort, a bowl of cereal is what I do. If getting a bowl out and pouring milk
is to much work-I go with cottage cheese straight out of the carton. Believe it
or not, there are days when even that is to much effort.

Yep. Me, I take the cheap Chardonnay WITH the crackers and cheese. It's a
very acceptable non-dinner dinner.

Frighteningly enough, if you swap the wine for iced tea, that was my lunch
many an afternoon... tho, sometimes I'd add pate too.

Seconding that liter, skipping the cheez-its.

If the problem is you're supposed to eat something to keep your blood sugar
level up but don't feel like cooking, don't cook. My hazy recollection of
diabetic diets [based on 6 mos of dating a non insulin-dependent diabetic]
leads me to suggest an apple and a small portion of good cheese. Failing that,
perhaps some crudites [excuse the absence of the ~aigout] or a plate of amuse
bouches, one helping of dry goods that are in your pantry, such as crackers, a
slice of cheese, a piece of fruit, a small piece of meat, and vegetables.

If you're insulin dependent I can't help because I don't know your dietary
constraints but try to extend the concept - take a slice or a chunk off the
things you CAN eat and fix yourself a plate.

If you're talking about cooking for others when you yourself don't feel like
eating I'd suggest joining the restaurant trade and learning how the pros do
it. Or teaching those ungrateful wretches^Wdependents how to cook for
themselves.

The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.

Im pregnant and have alternated between horrible nausea and a complete lack
of appetite. Of course I HAVE to eat, so its been a struggle.I like soup. I
cook and freeze split pea soup and chicken soup. I can eat maybe 3 cups at a
time, it just goes down easy. I usually serve it with toast or grilled
cheese sandwiches.

Hi Nina,

I can relate! I had hyperemesis with both pregnancies, and to say it sucked
would be like saying Pamela Anderson has breasts....an understatement.
I can tell you, as odd as it may sound, lemons help. I used to carry a small
baggie of lemon peels with me whenever I had to be in/on any form of
transportation...which was only when absolutely necessary! Grape juice and
lemon aid, combined, was a magic tonic during my second pregnancy. You may
want to try it. The doctor told me some reasons why it would work, something
to do with the combination, but I don't recall (and didn't care, honestly, I
was just grateful that it *did* help).

I am also pregnant and recognize what you are going through. I can
reccomend getting a variety of powered soups so you can always make
some soups quickly (or get your partner to do it).

oven fries work for me, and risotto.

chicken filés oven cooked is another "safe" food.

as a reply to the OP though I would say: chinese take out.

I know you meant it as a funny question, but it does happen to me now
and then. I'll be in the grocery store, hungry and bored. It is
usually at the change of season or when winter has been around too long.
I'll look at all the food, know that I can make anything I want,
realize that I'm going to need food to live, and yet I can't bring
myself to think anything is appetizing. When I lived by myself during
those times, I'd subsist on orange juice until the desire to eat came
back. Now that there's a man in the house, I'm better about eating 3
times a day but still have times when I'd rather not eat. Very salty
highly spiced food is best then, like inexpensive American-Chinese take-out.

I tell ya. There's something to the saying that youth is wasted on
the young. I'd give a kidney to able to eat like I could back in

noodle soup.

Tomato Beef or Tomato Chicken on rice
Whenever I buy beef or chicken I slice in think little strips and freeze
it on pizza trays covered layer by layer with wax paper then ziplock
bagged after frozen. It means I am never without meat.

Frozen perogues (from Costco) and yogurt - new easy way. I used to boil
and then fry the perogues. No longer. I just place a little oil in a
small heated frying pan. Add a whole chopped medium onion (I love
onions) and then in this frying pan place 10 perogues on top of the
onions in the process of frying and cover tightly for 10 or 15 minutes.
The oil fries the onions and the steam, steams the perogues. In my case
I use a samll cast iron frying pan and I eat this dish right out of the
frying pan. Adding yogurt by the spoonful as needed. Yes, sour cream
is good, but too good for me!

Quick and easy elbows: Fry small onion, add a handful of diced meat of
choice or home ground beef, fresh ground pepper, two handsful of frozen
mixed vegetables or fresh vegetables or frozen peas and cooked drained
elbows. Add grated cheese of your choice or not. Filling, cheap and
wonderful eaten out of the pot or on a plate!

Generally, I *love* poached eggs on toast with fresh tomaty and maybe some
cheese underneath, and maybe some chili paste on top. Egg yolk *must* run
everywhere

But i've just come back from holi's and caught a bug on the flight home.
Queasy and sensitive - the only thing I could stomach was a can of Heinz Big
Red tomato soup, into which I chopped spring onions and a grind of black
pepper.

Feeling better now: steak last night and a chicken stir-fry tonight

About the easiest that involves actual food preparation is grilled cheese
sandwiches and tomato soup. Another easy meal is spaghetti or some other pasta
and spaghetti sauce from a jar. I always keep some jars of spaghetti sauce on
hand for those contingencies. Classico's Tomato and Basil sauce doesn't have
any sugar. I'm sure there are some others without it, too.

If it's just me and I'm not making food for anyone else, I'd say yogurt,
cottage cheese (maybe with some crackers), or apple sauce. Those are all kind
of comfort foods, too, so they go down easily.

Canned soup and sandwiches. Sure, homemade soup is better, but
you can't beat the simplicity of opening a can of Campbell's Tomato
and serving with some bologna or grilled cheese sandwiches. This
is for the family though -- when I'm alone, I just grab a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich...

Hmmm.

Sorry, I don't understand you.

Pancakes or any hot breakfast for supper once in a while is a really fun.

I also use Cottage Cheese and some fruit on a bed of lettuce.

Tell your family that you are not "doing dinner tonight!" It will
inspire all sorts of things. Start a tradition that you will not
regret. Do not backpeddle and cook! You eat what you want for your
condition and forget the rest of 'em.

I do this now and then. Sometimes, the thought of cooking and/or
eating is just not gonna happen. My daughter is perfectly capable of
fixing a bowl of cereal or toasting an English muffin or opening a can
of soup.

And, don't forget to tell them to clean up after themself!

What kind of gibberish is that... you ought to eat fish, brain food.

Anyways, I don't quite comprehend the responses here... if "you don't feel like
eating" why pray tell is everyone suggesting what to eat... why prepare
anything to eat when one doesn't feel like eating??? duh
