Hunger Pangs!

What do you do when you are super tired, have a family of hungry mouths to feed, not many choices at home and do not want to go out to eat?
Some of the things I have indulged in are:
  • Maggi noodles - that has been my emergency go to food and the fact that my son loves it makes it easy! But the fact that maggi noodles are not healthy is something that always bothers me and I restrict it not more than twice/thrice a month
  • Hakka noodles - cooked for couple minutes and tossed with soy sauce and chill sauce
  • Rava Dosai Mix - i generally have a few GITS rava dosai mixes handy! These are life-savers for a quick south indian dinner
  • rice and rasam:) with spicy scrambled eggs..yumm!
  • i do not yogurt, but sometimes I give my son yogurt rice with scrambled eggs
  • simple sandwich(again for my son) - bread toasted lightly with butter, one slice of cheese, layered with cucumber slices and tomato slices and sprinkled with salt and pepper on the inside
  • if you have left over potato porial then you can put it in 2 slices of bread and put it in the sandwich maker
What are some quick dinner ideas you resort to?
