I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Grilled veggies, crispy garbanzo, some Greek yogurt and zaatar. Super quick and easy.

If there is leftover rice in the rice cooker, a fried egg, chili paste and pork fu on that rice is great. Avocado on there is good too. Chili paste on rice if you don't want to make an egg.

A piece of cheese and an apple is good. Apple and peanut butter good. Cheese and crackers good.

I think your best bet, though, is to cook and save a portion you can pop in the microwave when you don't want to cook. And keep something like hummus on hand, healthy and easy. Seasoned canned beans.

Oh I have a lot of recipes like this, all pasta based because it takes just 10 minutes to boil the noodles.

  • Cream or tomato based sauce - Microwave meatballs that are fully-cooked out of the pack for 3 minutes. Toss in the pan with onions and garlic, pour bottled sauce, mix in noodles.

  • Pasta limone with shrimp - Generously salt water for boiling noodles. Fry a pack of fully-cooked shrimp with butter, garlic, onions, and lemon pepper. Mix in noodles. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Squeeze half a lemon. Sprinkle a good amount of parmesan.

  • Peanut pasta - Dilute 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter in the pan with water until you get a saucy consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sesame oil. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Mix in noodles.

Steam cooked carbonara from instant ramen, cheese and bacon

In a saucepan caramelize some onions (or at least until translucent), then add a package of ground beef and heat until cooked through (optionally spice) then throw some cheese (ideally a provolone or other neutral cheese) on top until it's melted... shovel all that into a baguette and enjoy a munkwich.

I do this but with fondue meat (the thin slices). Baguette is great, excellent in subway type bread too. Mayonnaise is excellent with it.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you like fondue meat but want it cheaper, then you should check out Korean butchers - they'll usually sell meat pre-sliced for bulgogi-ing.

[โ€“] folkrav@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately kind of limited on options for Korean butchers, living in the middle of corn fields, but I make a trip down to the Asian market an hour away once in a while to grab all that stuff. Will check on that!

Breaded chicken tenders with spaghetti and jarred sauce or pesto.

[โ€“] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Usually either a lazy pasta dinner with jarred sauce, frozen broccoli, and vegan sausage, or I'll air fry some soy curls and make my husband make a dipping sauce for them

I'm gonna respond to yours with mine because I like yours, and mine is also vegan!

I make chickpea salad a lot lately: take a can of chickpeas, dump it in the medium size Pyrex, take a potato masher, smush smush, add mayo, mustard or mustard powder, and a solid sprinkling of salt. Then add any more extras depending how I'm feeling, maybe pickles, pickle juice, a splash of white vinegar, nutritional yeast, crushed red pepper flakes, bell peppers, celery.. many many options!

[โ€“] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That sounds tasty, I'll have to try that!

I make a no knead pizza which is incredibly easy. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to prepare the dough in the morning. Just mix it in a bowl, cover it and let proof all day.

About an hour before you plan to eat, flatten the dough onto a baking sheet and let proof again. Once you're ready to eat, just put sauce and toppings of your choice, cook at the highest heat setting on your oven. Should be ready in about 10-15 min.

Best pizza I've ever had. Doesn't compare to the local pizza shops. A lot less greasy also.
