What is the quickest easiest meal that you make yourself and love?
Omelette. Very versatile - almost anything can go in it.
Usually two cheeses, spinach, tomato, scallions, garlic, etc.
Meats optional - turkey, beef, chicken, sausage - whatever I took out the freezer.
Hit it with some picante sauce - chow.
3 or 4 pieces of bread with mustard, chili, cheese, microwave that slop
Heartburn in a micro-wave!
Tofu scramble! When I am ok doing a little cooking but want something done in 10 minutes that I know by heart. Or any sort of pasta dish like pesto or a creamy type of sauce made with pumpkin and other ingredients (sort of like mac and cheese). Otherwise super lazy days would probably be a smoothie, sandwich or salad.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Obviously I'm not much of a cook.
@Faithless1 YES, that is REALLY good too! ☺
Sandwich. It’s hot here most of the year and hot food doesn’t appeal to me. Now if someone else wants to make it, I’ll eat it.
I have access to a healthy choice deli at work. They make the most amazing sandwiches that are very 'bigly'. I quite often eat one half for lunch and then eat the other half for dinner. Just to spice it up a bit I may even throw in a potato chips or two, or three. I can be so lazy sometimes....sigh.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch and some milk will make me smile.
I just saw a documentary about the fish producing industry, and the badly polluted fisheries. I didn't realize how badly pollution affects the food industry. Fish seems to be worst hit, but fish meal is fed to all kinds of farm animals, so the pollution has spread widely.
My quick meal is plant based, which my mother made for me. I suspect is was a combination she invented during or shortly after WWII, because there were many foods that were not available during that time frame.
A peanut-butter, banana and mayonnaise sandwich.
Love peanut butter. Never had with bananas though until several years ago. I don’t know if I’d like it with mayo, though.
FINALLY someone who also likes peanut butter, mayo and banana sandwiches. I've loved this since childhood. Now I'm hungry.
That sounds beautiful!
@EdEarl I havn't eaten liver in years. We grew up on it because it was cheap and considered nutritious. My mother used to make a casserole out of it using, liver, onions and bacon in a savory sauce. It was actually yummy. I would not eat it now though knowing that the liver filters all the toxins out of the body.
Pasta (which I cook in the microwave) with peas and mushrooms.
Here is the quickest meal i really love, it's so versatile and cheap but you have to like canned Corned Beef. In fact i haven't had it for a long while, where is that pan??. Here is the recipe for a Curry, Spaghetti Bolognese or a Chili...
RECIPE FOR A QUICK CURRY & SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE OR CHILI
By Tony Wilkinson
INGREDIENTS
1 Can of Corned beef
2 or 3 Medium sized Onions
2-3-4-5 Medium sized Mushrooms
1 Chopped pepper (Any colour)
1 Tin of Plum or chopped tomatoes
Curry/Chilli powder to taste.
A sizable of squirt of tomato puree
(You can add Jalapeno peppers if you like)
METHOD
Put the can of tomatoes into a medium sized pan and chop up.
Cut the Corned beef into chunks about an inch square and place into the pan.
Chop up the Onions, Mushrooms, and the peppers, tomato puree, and shove in the pan
Add Curry powder to taste, and apply a low to medium heat, and gently stir all the time.
When hot serve.
If you like you can add Beef gravy granules to thicken it up because the tomatoes does tend to make it a bit watery.
Serve with Rice or if you like Place into a bowl
The same with the Spaghetti Bolognese just don’t add the curry powder open a jar of Bolognese sauce, and away you go or open a can of Red kidney beans, and substitute the curry powder for Chili powder.
It’s a versatile recipe this, and quick.
It feeds One or Two, I’m greedy so I can eat the lot.
Enjoy.
Nothing. I generally eat one meal a day, or all of my food within a short time window, so I skip a lot of cooking, Great for health, saves a bunch of time.
Ramen Noodle soup (add a can of mixed vegetables or anything else you want to add).
Yeah, that's it, I am a ramen alumni regardless what my chef daughter claims against ramens. As a minimum I throw some eggs without the shell and some sliced peperoni, sausage or hot dogs without the wrapper.
I like to squirt grape jelly into a jar of peanut butter, add vegetable oil, mix it all with a spoon, and drink milk while I eat spoonfuls of the mixture. It's actually very healthy since I don't eat artificial stuff.
Scrambled eggs with sharp cheddar and salsa or taco bell mild sauce.
Or tombstone pizza. I love pizza....
@goldenvalleyguy right? Favorite food ever!
