What's Your Favorite Lazy Recipes?

Salad mix or spinach mix plus 1/2 cup navy beans (or cannellini beans) 1 oz shredded cheese, 1 egg scrambled in the pan (or 1 boiled egg) 1 oz croutons (or 1 slice of bread toasted and cut into cubes) + 2 tbsp. favorite salad dressing. Toss it all together and voila.

Cook 1/2 cup rice (takes about 20 min). Cook a bag of stir fry veggies (or any preference of frozen veg) in a pan with a little soy sauce, garlic and water. Once cooked, remove from pan and scramble 1 egg in the same pan. Once the egg is cooked, add rice and veggies to pan and toss.

Take a slice of naan bread and top with feta or cottage cheese, parmesan, spinach, tomatoes and leftover meat if you prefer. Place in broiler for 5-6 min or until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Throw a few chicken breasts in a crockpot with a jar or two of your favorite salsa. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Shred with a fork. You can sub in BBQ sauce if that's more your style.

I do this rather frequently with the salsa. Sometimes I add a can of black beans and/or a bag of frozen corn just to add some more "meat" to the dish. I also add a bit of taco seasoning for a little added flavor. I make my own taco seasoning mix, so I just kind of sprinkle a bit around in the crockpot. It is awesome over brown rice, in tacos, in quesadillas, over salad, etc. and it's great leftover! It is so yummy!

Mmmm, think l'll give this a try!

Any yummy oatmeal combination.

Big yogurt parfait

Salad

Omelette

Can of tuna with microwave veggis

Stirfry of frozen veggies topped with sunny side up eggs

Sandwich

Get a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store and whole wheat tortillas. Low fat shredded cheese, guacamole and salsa. Tacos! A meal for a few days if you repurpose the chicken, you can make a lot of stuff. Chicken over brown rice with broccoli, quesadillas, or throw it in some pasta and add salsa

2 cans of tuna (or boneless skinless salmon), drained
1 can of kidney beans, drained
light mayo
optional chopped celery
salt, pepper, cumin
microwave for 2 minutes


delicious and nutritious

How lazy is lazy?

I've been known to just eat straight packaged tuna. That would be a day where I can't bear cooking AND can't bear buying take out or frozen ('cause plain tuna - yuck). Doesn't get any more lazy than that.

If I want to actually have something I like, I'll poach some eggs and have them with toast. Or, I'll make a proper tuna salad with apples, pickles and mayo.

I just cooked up 4 quail eggs and put then on top of a hunk of sliced turkey breast (Applegate Farms). Pretty awesome to me!

Fry up some hamburger with onions and garlic, mix that into some cooked elbow macaroni and a can or two of tomato soup with about 1/4 cup of milk.

It was my mom's "chop suey" that she threw together on busy days. Sounds weird but is tasty.

My mom used to make this, we would mix in sour cream and eat it with tortilla chips the next day after it thickens.

I have been buying a rotisserie chicken here and there, and keeping it in the fridge to make quick meals like quick chicken salad, a sandwich with some cheese and baby spinach or whatever toppings you like. Boil some reduced sodium broth and cook some frozen veggies and add the chicken in cubed pieces. Shred the chicken and use in on top of a quick salad.

Or tuna salad is another easy one. I love putting random veggies in my tuna salad.

The grill can also be a great way to make easy things quickly, if you are lucky enough to use a grill this time of year. Shish kabobs, grilled meats and grilled fruits or veggies.

Shrimp scampi with steamed broccoli. Fresh fish, baked, topped with assorted seasonings, add some couscous and whatever veggies on hand. Or with a side salad.

I've also done a frittata for dinner. Load it with veggies and shrimp and cheese and milk and it is a very satisfying meal.

The grilled lemon olive chicken here is great, too! :

6-8 hours of cooking? how is this a "lazy recipe"?

Poached eggs on avocado, or Tuna on top of shredded zucchini with some cheese.

We made this over the weekend with 4 chicken breasts, 2 jars of salsa, black beans, and corn. We made burritos with it on Sunday and used it for chicken nachos last night for dinner. We still have another 2 meal's worth of chicken that we're freezing. Best lazy recipe ever.

Yay!
