When you don't want to cook......what do you have to eat?

Tuna with a little bit of mayo,cheese and pepperoni, a smoothie (with frozen berries, almond milk, spinach, protein powder), pizza! I usually have cooked protein in my freezer that are in individual proportioned bags so I can just heat those up and add some veg.

Whenever I make chili, soup, or curry, I make 6 servings, then freeze the 4 servings leftover after my husband and I eat, so there is usually something like that in the freezer at any given time.

I also found a meal delivery service that does a la carte orders, so I buy about 6-10 entrees each month and put them in the freezer for nights when I want an easy hot meal that isn't leftovers.

The other day for lunch I had a box of frozen seasoned veggies and a cup of frozen soybeans heated in the microwave. It wasn't gourmet, but it got the job done.

If I'm feeling too tired or too lazy to even defrost and heat something in the microwave, cereal, clif bars, watermelon or PB&J are on the menu.

I cook dinner every night for myself, my fiancee, and our roommates. I usually make way more than enough, specifically so that there's leftovers for everyone to have lunch the next day.

Chicken
shredded lettuce
pico

No cook meals mean cereal with almond milk.

I'm usually cooking for just me, so I don't do the big "proper meal" thing too often. My meals, especially during the work week, are usually something like...

Sandwiches (turkey, tuna salad, egg, roast beef, etc.) loaded with fresh veggies (usually tomato, cucumber, mushrooms, onion, romaine or spinach) on sprouted grain bread, and some fresh fruit;

A turkey or chicken salad with a little cheese and lots of fresh veggies, or

Heat up some beans or lentils made on the weekend and add stuff to it like chopped veggies, grated brussel sprouts or cabbage, pepita seeds, raisins, turkey, turkey meatballs from the freezer, etc.

Omelet with spinach, mushroom and cheese;

Snack plate of things like turkey, cheese, crackers, Sun, sweet potato or beet chips, raw veggies (I love raw asparagus, english cucumber, celery, red bell pepper) with hummus, tzatziki or Baba ghanoush, halved dried apricots with a little ricotta, olives, picked garlic, hardboiled eggs, etc.

Oatmeal with a little butter, raisins or other dried fruit, walnuts or pecans, and a little milk.

Plain greek yogurt with pumpkin seed granola, fresh fruit and a little honey.

i'll do a salad which is more 'assembly' then cooking, or i make a meal out of snacks- fruit, nuts, cheese, etc

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich or any sandwich really.
Pepperoni and mozzerella rolled up in a flour tortilla
Tater tots
Cream of chicken and rice (only requires cooking some rice)
I only consider it "cooking" if it takes more than 15 minutes to end up on my plate.

Frozen burritos, yogurt, cheese, grilled cheese sandwich if I'm not feeling too lazy.

Costco rotisserie chicken with Taylor Asian cashew salad. It's amazing how easy dinner is with the chicken.

I make a nice salad!

Can of tuna and Greek yogurt. Or pizza

But most things I cook aren't some 3 hour event, normally about as difficult as 2 minute noodles.

If I am hungry and can't boil water, pour lentils in and stir every now and then for 10 mins there is seriously something wrong with me.

Aldi caesar salad kit - $1.99 a bag and it is soooooooo good. (I like to throw some seared shrimp on top, but that requires some minimal cooking.)

How many calories is your minimal cooking meal?

Lettuce wraps, or tomatoes and tuna,

Ensure. Ultimate easy food.
