I love sampi in a tortilla with Masaman Thai sauce. Sounds odd but works.

 Great minds think alike, Badge - I'm sure I recommended that www on here ages ago. I've saved loads of recipes from there but have never actually made anything yet as my activities in general have been severely curtailed over the past couple of years courtesy of Ulcergate. If you sign up with them they'll email you every week with one or more recipes.

Omelette with pretty much anything in it. The same goes for bubble and squeak.
I also like adding dried mash to soup, but that's usually a quick meal (with dried soup) when travelling/backpacking rather than at home.

Make the effort. Make the full amount of any recipe and either freeze or have the same the next day. Tinned tomatoes, garlic, onions, cheese are your staples I reckon.
Learn how to make stuff from scratch rather than tip shit out of jars.
The more you do you'll realise that one typical recipe can be changed into umpteen variations with a slight tweak.

Jacket spuds with whatever (my favourite is soured cream and chopped Smokey bacon.
Fajitas are quick and easy
Stir fry with prawns/salmon/chicken
Carbonara
Omelette
Burgers homemade are mega quick
Steak obviously with salad if you’ve got no time
Or as Cranny says, set aside a couple of spare hours and batch cook stuff like bolognese, chilli, curry, stew etc

One handy and tasty quick cook is the peri peri chicken cook in a bag. Two chick breast in 35 mins in the oven then add whatever else you fancy. Usually rice or noodles here. Plus you've got a spare piece of chicken for sandwiches or another meal.

Just start doing loads of amphetamines and you'll never want to eat again, let alone cook.
You may become mentally ill however but it's a small price to pay for all the time you'll save (time that could be spent staring intently at the family whilst talking at them in an incredibly frenetic manner).
I miss my kids.

get on tinder, get a dirty slapper who will cook your tea then give your chap a good gobbling while you digest the delightful meal that has just been cooked for you!
edit - apologise it wasnt very inclusive, if your so inclined you could get on grindr and get a man for the above mentioned actions too

Try paella, it's easy to make, delicious, healthy (even with a few slices of chorizo chucked in) and fills you up good and proper.

Again with the masaman sauce. Blue Dragon do a decent quick one. Chorizo sliced or any sausage chopped up as mentioned above lovely stirred in. Quick and easy

Never had peri peri chicken, Chuff - I know from press mentions that it's sth Nandos (whoever they are) are famed for, but I've never seen or been in one. Is the one you do at home sth you do from scratch, and prepare all the ingreds yourself, or a ready-made one? I wouldn't mind trying it. |

Learn how to make stuff from scratch rather than tip shit out of jars. The more you do you'll realise that one typical recipe can be changed into umpteen variations with a slight tweak. Oh, this, this, this, this, this! Well said, Cranz! If you haven't got a Slow Cooker, get one! Double or treble-up on the ingredients' quantities and make enough of, eg., a chicken (or beef, pork, lamb, etc,) & vegs sort-of casserole to serve maybe 8-12 people and pile the excess into Lakeland plastic boxes, label & stick in the freezer. This way it takes the same effort (and electricity, if you look at things that way - most of us don't, but maybe we should in this new, 'green' and fuel-conscious age) to make 8-12 meals as it does to make the original meal for two people. Defrost the freezer boxes' contents in the fridge overnight to use the next day or do them in the micro for 5 mins (or whatever timing they need) then re-heat and you have a home-cooked meal with all the convenience of a....... convenience meal. I also love making all sorts of different soups, which can definitely be a meal in themselves, and I guarantee my own take on a sort-of Minestrone would even make a man of some of the more dodgy posters on 'ere. |

Peri peri is one of my absolute favourites but not the shite Nando’s do. I’m going to my favourite food pub tomorrow and I shall post a pic on here of it. Portuguese in origin with about 25 ingredients to make the sauce properly but it’s worth it😋 |
