Have to because you have to eat or have to because there’s nothing microwaveable/doesn’t need cooking to eat and you need it quickly?
Former: Tacos or anything I can just throw in the slow cooker before noon.
Latter: Whatever I have on hand that will make food

Cheater Chicken Parm!
We’ll grab burgers from Culver’s for lunch and pick up an 8 piece of chicken tenders for dinner.
Ingredients:
- 4 breaded chicken tendies from Culver’s or regional equivalent
- Red pasta sauce
- Spaghetti
- Mozzarella
Make the pasta according to the package. While that’s cooking, heat up the tendies in a toaster oven at 350°F (167°C).
Once the tendies are warmed up, spread a spoonful of red sauce on the tendies, top with mozzarella and bake until cheese is melted.
Plate with cooked spaghetti and sauce as desired.

Salads, based on greens not mayonnaise, at worst you have to wash and chop but if I’m completely burned out I’ll buy pre washed and chopped. I always add plenty of lean proteins like beans and then adjust the amount of fat with a nice pre-made dressing.

Indome or buldak instant noodles. Add an egg, furikake, and optional mozarella cheese as topping.
For instant noodles with soup (my go to is shin black) you can also just dump any left over anything in the soup. My favorites are frozen veggies, green onions, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, any leafie green and broccoli.
Nice way to get rid of leftover veggies too.
