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

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

Put 3 frozen chicken breasts in the instant pot, add 1 cup chicken stock, sachet of taco seasoning, half a cup of salsa, and a tin of kidney beans, pressure cook for 17 mins, break up the chicken and mix back in, serve with sour cream and grated cheese. Amazing.

Carbonara. It's ridiculously easy and very tasty.

Pretty much all of them. I've made it a project to feed myself with just nonperishables given like 30 minutes of cooking a night, and I'm about 75% of the way there, I'd say. Salad greens and eggs seem to be impossible to replace, but I can realistically have my own chicken coop and a little growing area indoors. Canadian food prices and qualities are fucked, yo, especially away from big centers.

Last night, I had stierum with a simple salad. It's a bit like a single, big savoury pancake, and you eat it cut into cubes. The dressing is cream (the one rule-breaking element, for now), a dash of vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. I like to let it soak into the bread a bit

On nights I really DGAF, my go-tos are pasta with jarred sauce, or shakshuka. You can get shakshuka sauce in a jar now, so you just empty it into a frying pan, crack four eggs in, and cover until they're cooked. Serve with toast, which you can butter with vegetable oil or ghee.

You can make a vegetarian pulled pork with canned green jackfruit, an onion, bottled barbecue sauce, buns and jarred red cabbage and apple in place of the coleslaw. You pretty much pull apart the jackfruit, and add it with the sauce to sauteed onions. It's delicious, all three components are slightly sweet and they go together well.

I'll stop there, unless somebody is actually interested, but I've got a few more.

Sometimes I bulk out my shakshuka with another great pantry staple - lentils. And a little more involved for this thread but mujadara is another great dish that's primarily pantry ingredients plus onions. But I almost always have onions on hand and they keep so I give them a pass

Roasted peppers and pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes.

Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.

[โ€“] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is the broccoli already cooked? Or are you just heating it up to absorb the sauce?

[โ€“] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No, not cooked. More specifically, I throw them in first with a bit of oil to roast them a little before adding the chicken and sauce.

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

How long does that take? Are you using high heat?

[โ€“] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Not long, 5-7 minutes, medium heat. Cook the broccoli for a minute or two until it browns on one side (I cut florets in half so it has a flat side), add in chicken and sauce and cook until they're hot.

[โ€“] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks! Iโ€™ll try to make it over the holidays.

Leftovers. Honestly, I cook like two times a week. Throw most of it in the fridge, some of it in the freezer, and grab a collection of whatever and microwave, air fry, or convention oven it. Even better is if the "cooking" is smoking or crock pot. You know, throw it in, check every few hours, kind of deals.

Otherwise, I'll just eat ingredients and pretend it's a charcuterie.

The other is sandwiches and eggs. Make bacon, use bread or eggs to clean up grease, throw some meat or cheese on it, season with bull shit (whatever premixed seasoning sounds good). I like mayo and balsamic on my sandwiches too. That's my easier than eating out and actually worth eating stuff.

[โ€“] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Tuna salad sandwich

Tuna, celery, onion, mayo, dry dill, garlic powder, pickles if you want in a bowl and mix. Spread on toast and that's it. Has plenty of protein and will keep you full.

Next is ramen.

Boil water to cook ramen noodles

Stir fry some onion, scallion whites, other hard veggies and garlic, once tender add some soy sauce, broth and some bouillon powder, and soft or leafy veg and the scallion greens.

Let that cook and add noodles and a light drizzle of sesame oil

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.

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