Do you ever say fuck it - tonight we're eating

[Deleted]

chili from a can? Because that's where I am. It's Trader Joes Turkey Chili and I bought the boxed cornbread mix to go with it. I'm hoping it does not taste like dog food.

[papie]

Lol no but sometimes I do baked beans from a can. I made them from scratch once and the kids didn't like then as much.

[hereigo]

Canned chilli, no? Bowl of cereal, yup!

[ralphlauren]

Nope

[Deleted]

Oh I would do that and not feel bad. Its TJs! It must be good. ;-)

Lately I've been daydreaming about saying fuck-it and picking up sub sandwiches at the deli on my way home.

[stellas]

We have Mac and cheese so they will shut up and eat night bimonthly.

[Deleted]

See in my head I'm thinking I could never go there with like, Hormel. But it's Trader Joes. It has to be decent, right?

[gogadgetgo]

Never had the chili but tj's cornbread is amazing.

[SpartanGirl]

Not with chili, but I have said 'screw it, here's a pb&j sandwich.'

[cville]

Um, that's not a normal dinner?

[rachers]

Yep - pour it over Fritos, add cheese and sour cream and it's Frito chili pie!

If it goes well it's going to be in constant rotation around here.

[CurlyQ284]

No. We order pizza or pick up greek food when I don't feel like cooking. Or leftovers.

[Deleted]

Yeah-- Chili cheese hotdogs and Ruffles chips. No regrets

I bet it's good. Everything from TJ's is good!

[jena]

No, not canned chili but mostly because my kids would hate it and be all whiney. When I say fuck it, it's either chicken nuggets for dinner (which is what we had last night) or leftovers. You know when there's not enough leftovers for a full meal? I feed the tiny servings to my kids, call it "snacky dinner" and they think it's a treat.

[fryjack2]

Isn't that why they make and sell stuff like that? Ha!

Neither of us cook. There are a lot of nights of cereal for dinner.

[agnes]

Yes, but we do chili cheese burritos. Stuff the tortilla and warm it in a frying pan. It's goooood.

[daisybuchannan]

Lol, it's very funny you mention that, bc usually the answer would be no. BUT, last time I was pregnant tj's was serving the turkey chili with cornbread baked on top as the free sample. It was so freaking good I had to make it. I didn't realize it was canned chili until after I tried it.

No, but I'm not far from that. I've actually PLANNED grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner tonight. I just can't be bothered.

I do that regularly, lol.

Your siggie pic is hysterical with this post. 

Your kids are like Chilli? From a CAN?

[toepick]

Last week at Trader's Joe they were giving out samples of a hot dip that they made using that turkey chili and cream cheese. It was delicious!

[ZoeHart]

Not chili, but I eat boxed mac and cheese more than a 28 year old should. And buy I buy the box kid box with shaped pasta because it totally tastes better than the elbow macaroni kind.

[game blouses]

That chili is a staple in our pantry for those "fuck it" nights. No shame in my game.

[dexteroni]

I'm more likely to buy two bowls of chili and a piece of premade cornbread at Whole Foods if I don't want to cook. To me, baking negates the "no cooking" aspect of the canned chili. (In fact, thank you for the idea - we have to be someplace at 7 and need a quick dinner.)

But I have tried Trader Joe's canned chili on their sample table, and it was actually pretty good.

Breakfast for dinner is my favorite easy, filling meal. We had it last night.

I am going to make it look like it's been simmering homemade on the stove all day. No one has to know a thing.

[cville]

For the vegetarians among you, allow me to extol the deliciousness of Amy's Black Bean chili. It's so good.

If I am feeling fancy I put a piece of bacon in it. Dinner is served.

Why is that bad? We had them last night and had been looking forward to them since last week.
