I hate cooking and like to spend very little time doing so. Does anyone have any recipe ideas that are quick, easy and preferably low in carbs?
Thanks! :)

    Mac & cheese. You'll have to open the cheese pack and boil water though. :)

    Tuna (or salmon) salad - 2 cans of tuna or salmon (or the packets, if you prefer), a celery stalk, a chunk of red onion (maybe 1/4 onion), and a handful of parsley. Pulse in the food processor until it has the consistency you like, then stir in a tablespoon of yogurt or guac. Stores in the fridge a couple days, and can be eaten with crackers, on a salad, in a wrap, etc.

    One jar of salsa (your choice), one packet of taco seasoning- mix and pour over boneless skinless chicken breasts and put in the crockpot on low for 4-5 hours. Shred the chicken and serve on soft tortillas= you can add cheese and sour cream if you like.

    Ground beef tortillas. All you have to do is fry up the ground beef with seasoning and put it in a tortilla shell with any sauces you like and veggies or cheese.

    Beef skirt steak fajitas, julienned onion and peppers with some taco or fajita mix. You can use chicken too, but this is great on its own or with some soft taco wraps (I enjoy one and then chow on just the fajita stuff). Greek yogurt is my sour cream, yum!

    Otherwise, beef stews or stroganoff (again yogurt subbing for sour cream in recipes). I use shirataki pasta substitutes which are way lower carb.

    I get a lot of ideas from low carb freezer meal cooking on Pinterest. I'll spend one day cooking/prepping. This will give me several weeks of crockpot and oven ready meals. Just pull out of the freezer and cook. All the prep work is done.

    All great ideas thank you! One question - is a crockpot the same as a slow cooker? (I'm British)

    Roast everything. Heat the oven, put meat/fish and vegetables on a baking sheet, season, put in oven, remove from oven, eat.

    If you cover the baking sheet with foil, you don't even have to wash the pan. ;)

    Yes, the crockpot is actually (or was) a brand name of a slow cooker. Now we just use it interchangeably.
