I'm still finding short cuts to eating well without a lot of fuss and prep. I find I have to plan ahead much better if I want to eat the cukes, cook & rice the cauliflower, steam broccoli, etc.
Here's what worked for me today.
1. $5 roasted whole chicken- bought at grocers deli 5 days ago…nibbled on all week
2. Head of Romaine lettuce
3. "Magic bacon grease pan" on stovetop ready to heat.
4. Cooked Bacon bits & pieces ready to reheat.
Turn on heat to magic pan. Pull Romaine, cooked chicken & bacon from fridge.
Rip off hunk of Romaine with bare hands, toss into colander, start rinse water going.
Grab kitchen scissors, snip Romaine into bite size pieces- 7-8 snips.
Dump onto towel.
Open bacon and chicken container- toss 1 ounce bacon , 2 oz chicken meat into pan. Place lid, turn off heat.
Pat lettuce dry, lay onto dinner plate. Add the now hot meat. Sprinkle with 2 tbl shredded cheese, and 1 tsp ground flax seed from freezer, add one dollop premium sour cream.
Ummmm Hot, cool, crunchy, buttery, bacony flavors melded together! 4.2 minutes start to finish.
*When the chicken 'frame' (PC for carcass) is ready, it goes into crockpot for bone soup.

Whole Foods brisket from the cooked meat section. Sauteed some spinach in butter. Dinner on the table in under 5!0

Mmm that sounds good! I don't have any under 5 minute meals. If I want something in that short of time I usually just eat cheese. Today I had leftover ham, so I melted cheese on top.0

M-puppy, you crack me up..'melting' counts…hahaha.
I am finding more shortcuts, today I have a big crockpot going (full of chicken carcass, veggies, onion, bones, to make "bone broth." I had taken a Polish kielbasa from the freezer and let defrost, instead of getting out a fry pan, I tossed it into the very hot crock broth, and then tossed in a big chunk of cauliflower, and 20 min later came back and scooped them out, cooked just right! The broth keeps going for days to 'cook down', so I may try this again with other veggie (btw the sausage was not raw*, just needed heating.)
(adding chopped chunks of cabbage/ whole carrots is like steaming, but bathed in flavors and slow cooked)
*don't use raw chicken, pork, beef..temps are not high enough to kill bacteria0
