What is your favourite, home-made EASY meal? 🙂🍳🥘

I’ve been very aware lately of how much washing-up I make, just cooking for one, as you know lol.
Psalm 104 says food strengthens the heart. I’ve noticed how a nice meal can cheer me up.
So what’s your favourite?
Mine is fried eggs, home-made fries and plum tomatoes out of a tin 🥰
(with plenty of salt & vinegar).

That sounds yummy.

My favorite meal is pizza from the local convenience store, with extra, extra, extra cheese. Load it up! I'll pay for it.

Oh wait... homemade...

My favorite homemade meal is to take some leftover pizza, scrape all that cheese and toppings off into a pan, crack eggs and cook the whole mess scrambled. I eat the crust with butter while the eggs'n'stuff are cooking.

In the absence of leftover pizza I toss whatever I find in with eggs and scramble it. Corned beef, lobster, mac-n-cheese, leftover bread pudding if I want something mildly sweet... just about anything can scramble in with eggs.

Have a few:

Spaghetti with meat sauce (I use canned diced tomatoes)

Two fried eggs with rice and steamed spinach, sometimes with spam.

Salmon (seasoned with lemon juice and a spice like thyme about 30 min beforehand) and rice.

Loaded baked potato with whatever meat leftover I have, with toppings.

Instant noodles with eggs (I like curry flavor)

A fave easy meal for me is salsa and sour cream with corn chips.

The easiest one I know of is a Naan bread slathered in peanut butter rolled around a banana

I don't have to boil water, open a can, chop anything up, or stir anything LOL

Melted cheese on a bagel is a close second.

Tuna in a tin mixed with mayo and seasoning on a toasted bagel is a close
third, but that involves opening a tin, mixing, and baking the bagel

You had me at havarti. Wonderful cheese.

I don’t know if I have a favorite …I think whatever I am eating that day is my favorite.

I do have stand by foods, which I make ahead of time and freeze… mostly consisting of soups and pasties. I generally do 15 containers of soup and 30 pasties every couple of months.

I should probably clarify the word pasties, as it is a double entendre. I am pretty sure that a pasty (what strippers wear) probably don’t have much nourishment ….and….. ….I’ll leave it at that. A pasty or plural pasties are a baked pastry that is filled with anything you want…. kinda.

Pease note the difference………

← Pasties, for eating ← pasties, not for eating



I do three different ones…. steak, chicken, or no meat…. then add…. potato (sweet and regular) carrots, celery, onion, rutabaga, turnup, and jicama….add seasonings, bake and freeze …typically eaten with ketchup for weird people….. or gravy for normal people….that’s me….. I’m normal.
Those are my Fall and Winter stand by
__________________________________________________
Spring and summer I eat a lot of salads… that I will have once or twice a day…This is not a dainty salad …..it is big and has 15-20 different items, most of which I prep about every 5 days .....so it only takes me about 15 min to put together.

I just realized how boring I am when it comes to food.

Nope definitely not boring lol... inspirational... and I’m referring to the food ideas 😂

Tortillas, salsa, cheese, and sour cream.

Get a couple pkgs of stir fry & bean sprouts, mushrooms optional, saute about 10 minutes w/can of chicken & , pour over ready cooked brown rice, add a little soy sauce 😋😋😋

cheese and onion toasted sandwich
or cheese and mushroom
or cheese and tomato
or just cheese...a mousetrap

I live like a mouse when I'm on my own lol

Today’s easy meal from desperation lol:

cheese omelette with artichokes or olives from a jar 🍳
Canned rice-pudding for dessert 🙂

I’m looking forward to being well enough to cook chicken curry and rice in bulk then freezing some. I use Chinese paste which just needs water adding. I stir fry the chicken and veg, it’s pretty easy and so much cheaper & healthier than takeaway food.
If rice (or potato) is allowed to cool before eating or re- heating, it actually changes structure and becomes better than refined carbs for blood sugar levels; so it keeps you full for longer 😊

Saturated fats (like real butter) are even more effective for satiety. 😎

I like/make something similar called "Frito Pie". Basically it is chili, corn chips, sour cream, cheese, and some other toppings like onions and jalapeno. In fact, if I make chili, I eat it in the form of frito pie. This is another "easy" meal.

For me what I consider hard meals are time consuming meals, like a curry. Usually for this, I have to prep the night before like chop the different vegetables and chop and marinate the meat, and mix the spices. I also make make ground beef kabobs which is time consuming due to mixing the spices, marinating for the night, cooking on the stove, and then baking in the oven for a finished look and also so the kebabs are hardened.

"Did somebody mention potatoes?" asks the Irish lass...
I saw a corn chip pie like that once in a neighborhood place where
I had stopped in for coffee while in the area for some other business.
It did look tempting! It was not a flat pie, either, but piled quite high

Tonight I’ve got sourdough crisp breads with goat’s cheese, lambs lettuce, cherry peppers stuffed with cream cheese-an instant meal with only a plate and knife to wash 😁😂...oh an a few ready-shelled pistachios 👌A glass of red goes nicely, alcohol-free version of preferred 🙂
