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

While you cook up some boxed mac and cheese on the stove, cut up some broccoli and onions or whatever appropriate veggies you have lying around, and open a can of tuna (any kind of cooked protein is fine, so fry and shred some chicken breast or ground beef if you're feeling ambitious.) When that's done, mix it together in a casserole dish, throw some cheese on top and chuck it in the oven until it turns a bit brown.

Rice, sardines, kimchi, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil.

  1. Cook some pasta. Doesn't matter what kind.
  2. Add cream, if no cream is available add milk and condense longer.
  3. Add powdered soup base
  4. Enjoy salty, carbs goodness. (Doesn't taste as good if eaten often) If I am felling healthy i'll also eat a raw fruit or vegetable while the pasta is cooking.

Mine is probably oatmeal.

Put half a cup of instant oatmeal, some nuts, peanut butter and a banana in the blender and pour some milk.

I usually put in the refrigerator and eat it in the morning.

For sweetening You can also use dates or maple syrup instead of sugar.

This isn't what you're really asking, but I have a bunch of stuff in the freezer that I can pull out when I'm sick, don't have enough time to prepare a meal or am just exhausted from whatever.

Making lasagne? Make 4, freeze 3. Mex night? I make 20 black bean burritoes at a time. Check out https://onceamonthmeals.com/ for inspiration. Less cooking, less dishes and less food waste. Go pro and pick up a food saver. I make 8 cups of rice and freeze it in a pint food saver bag. It's winter where I live and I have "soup bags" in the freezer so I can take out veggies that were at their peak when they were frozen and put it in a crock pot so I can have summer fresh soup.

Indomie! It's not instant ramen soup, exactly.

You cook the noodles, drain them, then mix the flavor packets in. I prefer using half the salt powder package.

They are the pretty much the best instant noodle, and available in the West too. Seriously, go try them sometime!

If I'm too lazy to cook, I open a can of fish and wash a pile of cucumbers to eat as side dishes with the Indomie.

Not sure if this would count, but here it is:

  • Stovetop stuffing
  • Canned chicken

Boil water amount on the box in the electric kettle. Drain canned chicken. (Some brands need to be rinsed because of the amount of salt in the broth they're canned in.) Add stuffing, butter (amount according to the box) and chicken into a bowl. Stir to incorporate. Add boiling water, stir again, and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve.

I suggest using the low sodium version as there will be a lot of salt between the box of stuffing and canned chicken. Can also use leftover cooked chicken.

Oh damn, Iโ€™ve been wondering why to do with my extra box of stuffing.

Iโ€™m gonna try this this week. Sounds tasty.

[โ€“] Hello_there@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Boil pasta. Drain. Add whole can of canned tomatoes to pot (fire roasted or Italian seasoning versions optional)

[โ€“] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Carbonara. It's ridiculously easy and very tasty.

Hard boiled eggs

Chicken "parmesan"

  • non-scratch breaded chicken
  • good marinara
  • parmesan/mozza (sparingly)
[โ€“] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

Meatballs and spaghetti :)

[โ€“] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.

[โ€“] uphillbothways@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

One of these 2:

  • some leftover rice, reheated.
    or
  • a couple small potatoes, microwaved and then cut into cubes.

Mixed with one of these 3:

  • 1-2 packets cooked maggi masala ramen.
    or
  • a can of chili and microwave for another couple minutes.
    or
  • bagged madras lentils, similar to above.
[โ€“] variants@possumpat.io 2 points 10 months ago

Porkchop and potato cut into wedgies tossed in the toaster oven then some raw broccoli for pooping power later

[โ€“] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, wing it from there with seasonings and proteins like beans or meat.

[โ€“] TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)
  • Preheat oven to 425 MAGA temperature units.
  • Put as many frozen brussles sprouts as you can fit in a single layer in an 8x8 roasting pan (disposable pan for extra laziness).
  • Oh come on. You can fit another couple in there. Just cram 'em in.
  • That's better.
  • Spray olive oil all over 'em.
  • Garlic salt all over 'em.
  • Paprika.
  • Onion powder.
  • Black pepper.
  • Throw a frozen Aidells-brand pre-cooked andouille or italian sausage on top.
  • Cook for an hour.

If you want to be just a little less lazy, you can throw a handful of raw pecans on top of the brussles sprouts to roast about 18-20 minutes before that hour is up.

Instant oats + milk powder+ peanut butter+ hot water+ mix tf outta it + add some fruits as garnish if you have any to feel royal :P

A good nutritious meal

[โ€“] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ravioli or tortellini.

Grab them in the premade packages dried or "fresh."

Boil them, drain them, dump the sauce in.

I'll never get tired of pasta.
