Yesterday I made a frittata with onions, carrot, ham (from Christmas, diced and frozen), kale that I grew myself, cheese and eggs from my family’s chickens. I don’t mean to brag but it was outstanding, and big enough that I had it again for dinner tonight. It was maybe a bit dense because I used too small of a bowl to properly whisk the eggs but it was still great.
But if I had to make something else it would probably be a chicken, veg and lentils soup. I generally keep 6mo worth of food in either chest freezer or pantry shelf stable, and quite a wide variety so I generally have a pretty wide choice of what to eat. I haven’t been to the supermarket in almost 2 weeks, and I’ve almost run out of fresh veg, but I have a lot frozen so I’ll be fine for another week at least.
I can make pretty basic burritos. Alfredo sauce with pasta. Basic caesar salad. Cookies. Budget chicken noodle soup.
Pasta. Probably tortellini, but I have several options. In pesto because that’s my favorite, plus I don’t have any marinara or similar. My youngest would vote or a lemon-butter-garlic instead. I usually throw in bell peppers and spinach
It’ll likely be short on protein but my oldest had wisdom teeth removed last week so I’m sticking with softer foods
Depression pasta… Again.
Saucisson Wellington in a well-aged unami sauce. Fine-sliced crispy potato cutlets paired with a smooth onion emulsion!
(Eggo waffle-wrapped smoked sausage with worcestershire sauce and potato chips with onion dip)
A bagel and some fruit.
Ice soup.
Rainbow stew
That’s the main way I cook because I’m usually not good enough of a planner to buy groceries with a plan in mind for more than maybe 1 or 2 meals. So we are always stocked up pretty well for what little space we have in our flat.
Bruh, I cant make shit.
I guess just cook rice (using a rice cooker obviously, idk how they cook it before rice cookers, I never tried the old methods) and fry some eggs… 🤷♂️
I suck at “being an adult”
Fry the rice and egg up together with some soy sauce, add some garlic in whatever form, bonus points if you have any white pepper, suddenly elevated.
Or even just some ketchup, make omurice, can’t go wrong.
Ketchup wtf
that ruins the egg lol
Nah just the eggs are fine, sprinkle some salt and its good
Hey, it’s a thing, blame the Japanese!
You fry the rice in ketchup, serve it in an omelette. Optionally top with more ketchup.
Can sub the ketchup for demi-glace if that is more palettable, but that’s way more effort than I’m willing to put in for lazy time breakfast food.
Omurice is awesome! Sounds terrible but is great. I frying some chopped onion and adding to the rice.
Tell me more about this. Any other tips? Soy sauce?
You can use ketchup in stir fries the same way you’d use hoisin sauce or oyster sauce. Breaking it down, ketchup is tomato, vinegar, salt and sugar. I put it in after I’ve gotten the wok hei I want off the rice/veg/meat/egg, immediately after getting the food and fond off the sides of the wok with a lil shaoxing wine. Add in your sauces, toss to mix, sprinkle with scallion/chive/garlic scape greens, sesame seeds, serve.
Spaghetti aglio e olio.
This is my go-to “can’t be arsed to cook properly” dish. But I add peperoncino as well. Like a nice fiery rawit chilli.
Fish fragrant eggplant
Mapo tofu
Dumpling soup
Chicken veggie stir fry
Fondant potatoes (fried in duck fat mmmm)
Beef bourguingon (or whatever it’s called, the wine meat stew)
Black bean soup
French onion soup
Ropa vieja (with chicken)
I could go on but that’s what comes to mind quickly.
I’ll be there in an hour.
Fusilli, with homemade pasta sauce from tomatoes I grew over the summer, topped with yak meatballs.
This is actually what I plan on making for dinner 😁
Are you in a part of the world where yak meat is commonplace?
No, I am not. I found it at a local meat store that sells all kinds of frozen foods and meats. They have bison, antelope, crocodile, etc, but yak was the only on there I had not tried.
I ate it last night. It was pretty good, but I think I messed up the recipe because the meatballs were a little dry.
Is it beef like? Gamey at all?
I think I used a bit too much Italian seasoning, it reminded me more of a pork sausage than a beef sausage. It was a little gamey, but I prefer meat that way.
Yesterday we made quesadillas with gluten-free tortillas, kimchi, thinly sliced fried spam, and smoked cheese. All stuff we happened to have in our pantry. This was better than it had any right to be.
I can also make vegitarian maki (sushi), spam musubi, or korean gimbap with a bit more prep work. We also always have Korean sides (pickled radish, cucumber, and more) on hand to throw together healthy meals fast.
If push comes to shove, I can just thaw some ground beef out, season it up, and throw it on rice.
If I’m feeling really lazy: peanut butter straight out of the jar. Don’t @ me.
Disclaimer: I can’t eat wheat, so my whole diet got up and (mostly) moved to Southeast Asia to compensate.
Oooooh, maybe I should make quesadillas
My youngest loves them. My older kid can’t eat them because he recently had wisdom teeth removed but we have leftover soup or mac&cheese
