I cut up a small avocado, add some diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, a half tbsp. olive oil, and sprinkle on chili lime seasoning. If I have some cooked chicken, I will add some of that. If not, I open a can of sardines in water, drain them, add a tsp of olive oil and a squeeze of lime and call it dinner. Quick, easy, and filling.2

Another quick option is scrambled eggs and toast (cooking, but one pan and quick clean up). If I have some lox and capers, I will add that to the pan. If not, I defrost some mixed berries to have as an easy dessert.

eggs and toast! or an antipasti type plate - crackers or bread, cold cuts (or smoked salmon), cheese, and some fresh veggies and hummus or another dip, yum. Actually I often do that on hot summer days when I don't feel like eating a hot meal, just nibble my way through dinner, with some chilled white wine, heaven I also almost always keep frozen wontons in the fridge, and on busy nights boil some up with boxed chicken broth, soy sauce, a bit of vinegar and then throw in broccoli or any veggies on hand - voila, quick wonton soup6

Leftovers4 -
Instant noodles with a protein of choice (beans, canned tuna, luncheon meat torn into bite size pieces, sausage...etc), and a raw vegetable that I eat as is without fussy preparations after the meal. Usually a tomato. That's what I have when I'm both lazy and short on time.
When I'm lazy but have a little bit more time, I have these whole grain pouches that you cook in-pouch in boiling water until done. It varies by grain and can take anywhere from 7 to 45 minutes. I just throw a pouch in the water and set my alarm to take it out in time. No fussing with it or risk burning it or adding too much/too little liquid. Barley, buckwheat, buckwheat and rice, millet...etc. Then I have them sweet with milk and honey or savory with canned beans and herbs/spices/powders.
Or... I just buy a falafel sandwich. Falafel shops are practically at every corner here. Or just make my own sandwiches with whatever I feel like putting in it.0 -
I get the salad kits from Walmart when I don't want to cook. The "Family" sized Caesar salad is only 480 calories.
A salad "kit"? Never have I ever I guess that's just chopped salad stuff and a pouch of dressing?
I would pick up some salad veggies and a rotisserie chicken. Just a little chopping and job done.0 -
Toast.0
-
I like the rotisserie chicken idea but I’d eat it in tortillas maybe some avocado, or premade guacamole since I can never find ripe avocados at the store.4

a bowl of cereal

Breakfast sammie. Fried egg, turkey sausage from the freezer, a slice of cheese and an english muffin. I like to have fruit with it (oranges are my fav but anything will do).
5 -
Cottage cheese with peach slices. Rice cakes with PB2 (or regular peanut butter) and raisins. However, I've also had a pint of Halo Top for dinner when I was too tired to even throw together one of the first two options.2
-
Frying an egg and heating a pre-cooked turkey sausage patty isn't really hard core cooking

"Stop by a store on the way home pick up a box salad mix and rotisserie chicken. Not only do you get fed quick but have leftovers for next day."[/quote]
This is my go-to for quick meals.2 -
Cereal. Or a grilled cheese.
Depends on how hungry/lazy I am. haha1
