You wouldn't believe how proud I was of the spaghetti I made for my date when I was 18 yo.

Damn, he put pepper on the mac and cheese for you? He must be really fond of you.

Let them cook.

And that's the fancy Mac and cheese with the cheese in the pouch, not even the powder one.

I hate when I see a video going "here is my go-to lazy meal for when I'm totally beat" and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.

A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it's more effort than that, you can stick it.

Boy dinner.

Like any food, it depends on if it was frozen/boxed or actually cooked. If that mac is homemade then kudos to the cook

Some green beans and spinach would be nice. Otherwise, looks pretty good

It's a hot meal, and the mac looks homemade, and not from a box. Girl needs to talk to her boyfriend, and stop bitching on the internet. The conversation should start like this, "Thank you for dinner, I appreciate the effort. Next time you cook, can you make some of these things in the future, they are some of my favorite meals?"

My wife works a 7 days on 7 days off hospital shift. On her workdays, I stay up late and have a hot dinner ready for her. After 3 years, I have had 0 complaints. We talk to each other about things we like and our preferences, so I try to cook things I know she will like anyway. I used to make things like felafel from scratch, tons of homemade veggie soups from scratch, like split pea, butternut squash bisque, garden veggie, until I learned she didn't like those things and just focused my efforts on things she likes.

In a healthy relationship, adults talk to each other about their wants and needs, instead of bitching on the internet.

I never complain about someone giving me prepared food. I spend so much of my life obtaining, storing, preparing, and cleaning up after making food that I see any meal given to me as a wonderful gift of time.

That right there looks like an amazing meal.

Should've been dino nuggs, but apart from that I don't see a problem here.

Literally making this right now

Mac & cheese have been ruined for me by that instinct that makes you disgusted by the last thing you ate before getting a stomach bug. Cmon body it's not a novel type of berry it won't be poisonous this time

IDK, not saying this isn't a good meal, but I seems to me this kind of post just implies that most men can't cook for shit. Most of my male friends are good cook and can make much better meals than that. Guessing it's an amrrican thing.

He put pepper on the macaroni, he truly went all-out

If the cheese and meat is good, then this is a really nice dinner. Add a simple salad to that and its perfect.

Shit, my wife demands this sometimes. This lady is nuts.

That's basically a marriage proposal.

Idk what she's complaining about, he even added a garnish of pepper on the mac for her.

This dude is a regular goddamn Bobby flay.
