What’s your go‑to “I don’t want to cook but I have to” meal?
-
I make a fast (or faux) pesto while pasta is cooking.
- Press garlic in a mug, add basil, fresh ground pepper and salt. Crush on pine nuts if I have any.
- Cover with olive oil and give it a little stir.
- Grate parmesan cheese and mix it in.
- Some more parmesan cheese.
- And don’t forget the parmesan cheese.
Drain pasta, mix in pesto, enjoy. Can also be fancied up with your mentioned fancies or some olives or marinated peppers or artichokes.
Ohh, I’m going to try that, thanks!

Heat 1. a pot with water and 2. a pan with oil
- Add rice noodles, ketchup, shriracha and a can of shredded tuna
- stir fry eggs and veggies
I operate pot and pan simultaneously, in the end I tip the stir fry in with the noodles. I can do all this in less than 10 minutes I think (not that I ever stopped myself).
The end result is a sort of asian style noodle soup.

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

- use as little cooking water as possible and emulsify a bit of it with the oil

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.

Why in gods green earth would anyone consider mayonnaise a salad ingredient?

As long as you know you are making american goulash

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.
