Easy Cooking-For When Youre Too Tired to Cook

[teresa]

Here in the recovery section, how many are often too overwhelmed with symptoms to really cook much, but really need a yummy meal?

I welcome all in recovery and in fellowship to post simple meals to make at home

 

[I'm_Sorry]

Eggs, there are so many ways to cook them

But I got really sick the last time I attempted to cook eggs

I just cant get it together in the mornings sometimes, so I got a microwave dish and I microwave some eggs and throw on some salsa.

Yum

A good poached egg is always welcome. With a coffee

P.S, This thread is inspiring!

Speaking of eggs, I like my eggs like I like my steak - not runny, and well done.

I found out that certain kinds of cheese, like Provolone slices, but not all kinds - do make a good microwaved cheese sandwich when combined with two slices of bread.

Some cheeses, however, get too watery when microwaved.

I cook 7 at a time in a small pan of water.
Then shell them and store them in vinegar.
They'll keep virtually forever (in human terms, not biblical)
and taste a little like pickles. But are always ready to eat.

I try to keep lots of fruit on hand. An easy breakfast for me if I want to put in zero effort is some combination of microwaveable oatmeal, fruit, and yogurt. I also like eggs in any form. Salad fixings like lettuce, spinach, and cherry tomatoes - things that don't need much prep - make for an easy dinner, and it can be spruced up with some chicken or hard-boiled eggs for protein. Pasta is another go-to dinner item for me because it's easy and delicious. Hummus is good for a healthy snack.

To avoid "wheat-belly" gluten-free pasta tastes good too.

sky, can I just place them in white vinegar alone with no spices?

I've got some minced garlic in a jar in the fridge, and only some dry dill and powdered onion...

White rice with butter. Sounds ridiculously simple but if you get the kind that can be put in a bowl with water and microwaved then it's easy and quick. Stir in some butter for flavor. It's easy on your stomach if you have stomach issues when sad like I do.

 

[teresa]

^thats a great idea, derpyptia! Fast, easy, and good for the tummy.

i tired some microwave rice, flavored from India and it was fast and easy with low sodium

today, also made some hard boiled eggs and its super awesome to have these around for an easy meal--and the bonus is that its very nutritious as well!

When I'm too tired to cook, I microwave things. It's usually burritos with picante sauce on top, frozen pizza, or beef raviolies.
