I like to take those boxes of breakfast cereal they sell and I like to whip them up in a big bowl with some milk. I call it cereal with milk.

Fake pizza: Make toast. Drizzle toast with a little bit of olive oil. Smear tomato paste on toast. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Top with a slice of provolone.

Cook some rice in a rice cooker, top it with a runny sunny-side up egg, add some high quality soy sauce and a bit of butter. Sliced green onions if I'm feeling less lazy.

Pesto pasta.

1. Cook a packet of pasta and drain

2. Put in a bottle of pesto

Done.

I have an electric kettle, so instant ramen. I live near an asian grocery store, so I also have a ton of ramen varieties

Bake some frozen chicken nuggets, toss in buffalo sauce, cut up some iceberg lettuce and throw it all in a soft tortilla with ranch.

or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

You can't just disrespect Germany like that...

Rice via rice cooker. Ground chicken cooked in a frying pan with preminced garlic and squeeze tub of ginger. Pinto beans from a can. Mix em all together in a bowl with shredded cheese.

Tofu scramble. I premake the spice mix, then open up a pack of tofu and crumble it into a preheated pan with oil, sprinkle over the spice mix, add black beans then pepper and sriracha (as well as a bit more of the spice mix), stir and heat it up a bit, then done. If I'm feeling less lazy, I'll add veggies and stuff, but it's honestly decent like this with the right spices. Here's what I use for my spice mix (this is for a full jar which will last between 10 to 20 meals depending on how heavily seasoned I'm feeling that month):

• 8 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 4 teaspoons chili powder
• 4 teaspoons ground cumin
• 4 teaspoons black salt (also called kala namak) or regular salt
• 3 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Boxed mac n cheese with tuna

Open faced sandwiches (smørbrød/smørrebrød/smörgås) - slice of bread or toast, butter and some topping.

Very nearly as no-effort is boiling or frying an egg. Very nearly as no-effort as that is a scramble or omelette. Grilled cheese sandwich. Pasta with butter (sauce), garlic and/or chili oil. Baguette/sub/hoagie kind of thing as an upgrade on the sandwich - they sell "half-baked" ones that keep for a good while. Bacon and eggs, carbs optional.

A basic stir fry or meat-in-pan-sauce are still easy. Get whatever equipment makes your preferred foods (or healthy eating) easier.

A real cheat code here is when you truly can't find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow's dinner.

Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow

"Every Day Dal" from Curries Without Worries 1 cup split red lentils Tbl ghee or butter 1-2 dried red chilies Tbs tumeric Tbs cumin 1-3 Tbs salt (to taste) 1 Tbs each minced ginger and garlic 5 cups water

Put in large pot bring to boil simmer 35+/- min stir it you want

Feeds 6-8 people & nice w rice

Omelette. Ham and Cheese. Low carb and tasty.

• Turn on your oven at 200c, ballpark
• Trim any excess skin you don't wanna eat off of a bunch of chicken thighs
• Chuck the thighs in a baking sheet skin up
• Wash some potatoes and cut em into wedges. You can peel em if you want
• Chuck em in the baking sheet with the chicken
• Sprinkle on some salt, and a bunch of other spices that work with chicken and/or potatoes. Garlic powder, pepper, paprika, fuckin dry basil or whatever, idk. Try to get it on both sides of the chicken but if you CBA just get it on the skin side
• Drizzle some sunflower or olive oil all over everything. Just a bit is fine
• Put the baking sheet in the oven. Doesn't matter if the oven isn't fully heated, it's fine
• Come back in like 1h and check if the chicken's done. Come back every 10 min after that until it is
• Once it's cooked, you might turn on the fan to crisp up the skin and the potatoes a little more, or maybe not, whatever

It's gonna be the most 7.5/10 dinner but it's like 5 min prep, it reheats fine, and you can walk away and shower or take a nap. You can wash the baking sheet tomorrow, who cares? It was the first 'recipe' I learned how to cook in college, and it's still my go-to lazy weekday recipe.

Make rice, throw minced meat in, done. It looks like dog food but it's pretty good.

Lazy Chicken

1. Pour about a centimeter white rice in a baking dish. I prefer something a 20x30cm tempered glass one, but I'm sure you can use whatever.
2. Add frozen vegetables on top.
3. Dissolve a chicken broth cube hot or boiling water, pour into dish, add water to a bit above the rice.
4. Place frozen chicken legs on top, or whatever other frozen chicken pieces you'd like.
5. Generously season chicken.
6. Stick in oven for about an hour at 200°C.

You might need to add boiling water while it's cooking, but after making it a couple times you'll know about how much water is needed from the start.

Pasta and jarred sauce

If you're lazy but not in a rush, legume soup. Throw lentils, canned chopped tomatoes, frozen veg and some spices and maybe stock powder in a pot and wait. If you don't want to wait for lentils to cook, replace by canned beans. Easy, cheap, minimal cleanup (this is usually the part I'm too lazy for) and very reasonably healthy.

Quesadillas!

I just go to bed when I am too lazy to cook!

I am severely malnutrition 😎😎😎

• Two minute noodles (ramen) and a cup of frozen veggies. Boil in water for 5 mins.
• While that's boiling, fry an egg separately - I like to season with a little salt and pepper while the egg is frying.
• Once noodles/veg are done, drain then add the noodle seasoning, a little butter and half a cup of shredded parmesan. Stir through until butter & cheese has melted and everything's well combined.
• Put noodles and veg in a bowl, egg on top.
• Enjoy!

Noodles with sriracha, olive oil and nutritional yeast

Whenever I make soup, I always make a lot. The extra soup goes into quart bags and goes in the freezer. So I have a soup library.

Rip open a bag of soup, toss it in a pan on medium low. Make some popcorn in the air popper.

Soup and popcorn with about a minute of work. The hardest part is picking out which soup I want.

• Macaroni
• Can of concentrated tomato soup
• Half a can of milk
• Shredded cheese added when mixing

Some of mines

• Pasta with frozen veggie and curry sauce, like take a bag of frozen veggie, put in the pan, add coconut milk and curry powder

• Pasta with eggs, That's the extreme on the too lazy to cook spectrum just crack an egg in the pasta, an improvement is to add some garlic and olive oil

spaghetti ala bolognese is my lazy to cook recipe or chicken paprikás (or rather it's less sour creamy version which is called pörkölt). if I make it from chicken, it's done pretty quickly

or, chili con carne. it's also in the super easy and quick category

Sliced mozzarella (or whatever) cheese in a bowl, and some sandwich meat. Served cold.

Chicken chickpea curry.

Canned chickpeas, whatever chicken you have on hand, canned diced tomatoes, curry powder, onion, coconut milk, lemon juice. Served over rice.

Canned tuna mixed with rice, and omelette with cheese

Cook white rice in a rice cooker but instead of water, use a canned soup. Flavor of the soup gets into the rice. A few minutes of prep and walk away.
