spaghetti ala bolognese is my lazy to cook recipe or chicken paprikás (or rather it's less sour creamy version which is called pörkölt). if I make it from chicken, it's done pretty quickly

or, chili con carne. it's also in the super easy and quick category

I boil half a cup of rice, add 3tbsp of peanut butter and about 100ml sweet chili sauce, and I mix it evenly. Bish bash bosh.

Cook white rice in a rice cooker but instead of water, use a canned soup. Flavor of the soup gets into the rice. A few minutes of prep and walk away.

Throw rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, onion, potato, chorizo, frozen peas, some spices and water into a rice cooker. Hit go, take 40 min nap, eat.

Canned tuna mixed with rice, and omelette with cheese

Smoked salmon and cherry tomatoes

Oatmeal made with milk. Stir in peanut butter when it is hot and ground cinnamon. Filling.

Spiced fried chicken breast, steamed veggies and carb of choice: mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, or wheat bread.

"Stir fry": Fry meat of choice in a frying pan, add spices and vegetables of choice. Eat with rice or on/with wheat bread. 1 frying pan with meat and vegetables add carb to that.

Grill meat and vegetables of choice. Add carb on the side.

Tin of (Aldi) chicken curry, add some frozen peas and spinach and fresh chopped (with a scissors) chillies. Better - in my opinion - than some take away and all chain pubs’ offerings. Five minutes maximum from cupboard and freezer to my mouth.

Cooking?!

When I'm specifically being too lazy to?

I don't even cook for myself on the good days.

Don't have any, too lazy...

Nutella on toast. Ruin your life and food like me

My family's spaghetti and meat sauce recipe. 5 ingredients:

Water, salt, pasta;
ground beef, tomato sauce (from a jar if fancy, but canned is great)

1. Boil and salt the water. Add the pasta. Boil until as soft as you want. While that's going
2. Cook the meat, breaking into little chunks. Then drain the fat. Then add the sauce and some salt and mix it. Stop it some time after it's boiling

Serve together.

(Of course there are details like how much of stuff, but that's the jist of it)

• boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Taco seasoning
• Fajita seasoning
• Salsa

Dump everything into crockpot, come back after work and enjoy shredded chicken tacos / nachos / burritos.

1. Cook pasta: spaghettini, spaghetti, linguine, whatever
2. Strain when cooked, set aside
3. add heaping tablespoon olive oil+garlic to pot, heat for a minute
4. Add the pasta, salt and pepper, stir
5. serve

*Swap some butter for oil if preferred

Kraft Mac and cheese with sausage cut up in it.

Caprese salad

Buy a tomato. Slice it. Buy presliced mozarella Alternate tomato and mozarella on a plate. Put basil on top. Drizzle either balsamic vinagrette or salt and olive oil.

Delicous and super easy.

Also sometimes I make a quick melt on the waffle press, season with garlic powder and shredded parmeson, and dip in salsa. Fantastic and super easy.

I have a small rice cooker perfect for 1-2 portions. Aldi sells asian-style pan-fry veggie mixes including spices and all in large bags, frozen. They also sell veggie balls for frying, frozen.

Between those three + some spices + soy sauce, I can always create something nice with just a small pan, plus with the rice cooker timing is unimportant. Takes about 10 minutes max, most of which is standing next to the pan waiting for something to fry. Stacks nicely in a bowl, looks fancy, takes 0 effort, and I can customize the taste with the array of spices I always keep at home nowadays.

Probably something from The Sad Bastard Cookbook. It's a free book with lots of easy meals and good advice.

Rice cooker, after it's halfway, throw in an egg or two, leftover meat, can of beans, soup, or chili, whatever's available. It's nourishing and always tastes good.

Italian sausage, penne pasta, and marinara. Beyond easy...not particularly healthy.

Pasta with a glass of pesto

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.

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.

Salmon and asparagus.

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

Fried eggs with sliced tomato

Boil some frozen veg - add an egg if you’re feeling fancy. Throw some instant noodles in when the veg and egg is cooked. Strain. Season to your liking.
