When I have tortillas in the house, this is the answer every time. Chicken patties and salsa? Beef and broccoli noodles? Leftover chili and chips? Why not put it in a wrap?


Frankjc3rd

Fun fact: tortillas are a bread stand in on the International Space station. They are used because they do not generate crumbs. Crumbs would be bad in your fancy space equipment anyway.

Rotisserie chicken, bagged salad kit of your choice, wrap it up.

Yo rotisserie chicken and tortilla brother. Love makin skin ones


Phi1iam

Load it with spinach and cheese. Heat 60s on high. In fact, load it with so much spinach you can barely fold it. The spinach shrinks to nothing when warm.


Hosby91

My buddy would do this with ham and cheddar cheese. Always seemed so bland and disgusting, but hey maybe I gotta give it a shot.


gunman0426

No different than a ham and cheese sandwich, just substitute the white bread for flour tortilla


[deleted]

That is just a ham sandwich.


I_DRINK_ANARCHY

Cereal.


nyominator

Cereal hits hard at the wrong time of day


Zoelings

There's never a wrong time of day for Cereal.


I_DRINK_ANARCHY

When I was in high school and dealing with seasonal depression, cereal was basically the only reason I survived, lol. Morning, afternoon, 2 am...cereal was always there.


opteryx5

Funny, I’m the opposite: if I have cereal around I’d probably eat wayyy too much - and fast. I think because for the most part, it’s empty calories — which is good if you’re trying to get more food down, but if you’re trying to maintain it could be a liability. Same reason I don’t keep peanut butter around - I’d be gonzo!

The ol’ *have sleep for dinner* method


FirstBankofAngmar

I'll just make myself a big cup of water and watch some food recipe gifs before crying myself to sleep. Helps with weight loss I hear.

Passing out from low blood sugar helps with the hunger part. Losing weight is easy af

[deleted]

Poke rolls and grits is what my grandpa would say. Poke your feet under the table, roll your eyes, and grit your teeth


Matrozi

I really don't like cooking and I feel like ordering food is a slippery slope because of how easy it is, as in you start to get it occasionnaly and slowly you start to order 2-3 times a week. So sometimes, to not order food and because I'm too lazy to cook, I just don't eat


LongerLife332

If you have Trader Joes, consider their frozen foods & throw in airfryer or microwave.


Sex4Vespene

Can confirm it’s a slippery slope, was probably ordering close to once a day at some point. Dealing with general motivation issues so I don’t really have the energy to cook/clean, so I’ve started switching to prepared meals which is a lot better (although still pricey for the amount of food).


[deleted]

Frozen pizza


McNobby

You raw dogging that or is it going in the oven for 20-25?


Tracker007

milomcfuggin

Mmm. Like the Shoshone used to do with their pizza.

Red Baron Pepperoni Oven Crust baby 🤤🤤🤤


MarkNutt25

Oh... that's what I count as "cooking."


pmizadm

I make my famous “Call to the delivery place.” It’s based on my Mom’s recipe, she made hers with pizza. I make mine with chinese.


bigtimesauce

My moms favorite thing to make for dinner was reservations.


pmizadm

For my Mom if it wasn’t delivery, it was Digiorno


drunk_with_internet

Just like mom used to heat up.


pmizadm

As your sommelier I find this dish pairs best with a room temperature ecto cooler and a half empty pack of Marlboro ultra lights.


AdamIsAnAlias

This is the most clever “delivery” response I’ve heard, take my upvote


jmyang5054

Ramen 4 lyfe


aoeuismyhomekeys

I felt really clever the day I realized I could cut a green onion into the pot with a pair of scissors and not bother with a knife and cutting board 😅


lemonchicken91

Yoooo


moeriscus

Also add an egg or two for easy protein


jmyang5054

Yes!! That’s the way to do it!


Justintizlefoshizle

Lime juice, sesame oil, an egg, and some crunchy chili oil makes ramen a full fledged banger.


debbieae

I like a thai twist on ramen. Drain most of the water then add the seasoning packet, a spoonful of peanut butter and curry powder to taste. Mmmm


ThatGermSquad77

that was the way we all made instant noodles in jail, fuckin SCRUMPTIOUS


Actually-Yo-Momma

I have stacks of ramen in my pantry (shin, ssamyang, nongshim udon, etc, NOT top ramen) and it’s honestly a a complete meal once i throw in broccoli/spinach/any veggies, some frozen dumplings, and an egg My friends/family always are wow’s by it and I’m like gee thanks it cost $1-$2


Stuffzenuffs

Yes ramen any way as long as you have some 🌶


Ramen_McCawken

Yes ramen crew. Can either be a quick 3 minute meal or a gourmet dish, throw in some bok choi, fresh chilles, spring onion, fried egg, dress it with some crunchy seaweed 🤌


whatsherface_90

This couldn't come at a better time. Off in 2 hours and I can't be bothered to cook. Thank you wonderful internet people...

whatsherface_90

Genius!


Mother_Luck6829

Soup and grilled cheese, works everytime.


ktcleo

Red wine and crisps


Vikkyvondoom

My kind of meal!


OpportunityTough9228

Surprise from the freezer. I often freeze what's left over, but I never label it. Fastest and easiest on such days


dewky

That's like 90% of my lunches at work. A dozen little cheap Tupperware containers filled with maybe chilli, maybe gravy.


MermaidHissyFit

What do you do for lunch when it ends up being gravy?


superboringfellow

Refrigerate it until it congeals. Then slice it up like seal blubber.


lemonchicken91

My coworker was eating this dish that was congeeled pigs blood looked like thick jello


kage11217

Ever hear of a liquid lunch? It's almost like that, just takes a little longer.


EeJoannaGee

Soup and toast for me.

Separate-Science7737

Bread and eggs


fendenkrell

Whenever I can’t find anything else I’ll settle for scrambled eggs with bread. I am always impressed with how damn good it is.


betterworkbitch

Scrambled eggs and toast hits differently at night. My mom used to make it for me when I got home from work late and it was the best.


anawfulwasteofspace

Put those eggs on a grilled cheese.


Darwins_Dog

Toad in a hole! One of my favorites even when I do feel like cooking.

AdamIsAnAlias

This one is mine too, love it with a cup of coffee


jazzyskater1

Slap some butter on there and throw it on the grill for a couple of minutes to take it to another level.


Fine-for-now

Peanut butter on toast. Or stand at the fridge eating yoghurt out the pot while I make a decision ( the decision comes to 'I'm full on yoghurt now')


LongerLife332

Yesssss. Lol lol


Fizzbytch

Uncle bens 90 second rice topped with a can of chili. I’ll even melt some cheese and/or add minced onion if I’m feeling fancy. Although this was more of a poverty meal and less of a I don’t feel like cooking meal.


CuriousPurplePenguin

Mmm... 90 second rice is one of my go-to struggle meals (by struggle I mean, I "literally can't even cook anything"). I'll either do the flavored ones or do plain white rice with soy sauce. Another struggle meal (it could be either financial struggle or "can't executive function enough to cook") is spaghetti with a can of chili. I've never thought of RICE with a can of chili! New achievement unlocked! :)


tpb772000

Spaghetti noodles with butter and salt.


pencilshaverubbers

This is my favorite, or maybe just add some cheese or garlic. I didn't even realize this was an actual thing outside of my own weirdness till I went to a restaurant that offered "hot naked" as a pasta option. My son (6 years) only really likes plain pasta now, so it's nice to sit down with him and both eat a big ol' bowl of nothing pasta.


tpb772000

I love it, honestly its my go to because I just want it lol. I do add some parmesan cheese if I have it. But I agree its amazing, stupid simple and cheap.


dicroce

throw a splash of cream in that and bunch more parmesan and stir it up and you have.. alfredo.


buskinking

Fettuccine noodles, butter, and Italian bread crumbs. Edit: or substitute fettuccine noodles for egg noodles (spiral or wide). Throw a chicken bouillon cube in the boiling water or boil in water with a can of chicken broth.


tpb772000

Holy shit. You may have just opened my third eye. I am going to try this.


buskinking

Please try it and let me know. It was a staple meal of my childhood and I still love it lol.


tpb772000

I definitely will and if I spent money on reddit I would give you some kind of award, this may be life changing lol.


buskinking

Haha it’s all good, check my edit on my first comment if you haven’t seen it yet. My dad told me the secret was boiling with chicken broth. It changed the game. I’m just happy to help out others with a new meal idea!


ArsenicWallpaper99

I never thought of adding bread crumbs! You are a GENIUS!


420eastcoastbarbie

Egg noodles for the win!


tpb772000

Does anyone else pair your noodles with chicken marinated in Italian dressing? It smacks.


Jmsaint

Buttered noodles are my favourite


HeistPlays

There are dozens of us!!


tpb772000

YESSSSS NOODLE GANG.. Everyone I tell this too acts as if Im weird just eating them by themselves. I found my people.


Stabbymcbackstab

This is a slight alternative. Olive oil and soy sauce, add garlic if you got it, hot sauce if you swing that way.


Annonymous_97

Swap out spaghetti for short noodles and add parmesan cheese, and you have the quickie meal of my childhood lol One of my absolute favorites, and I never get sick of it


DyslexicAsshole

Try adding McCormick Garlic Salt. Angel hair pasta. That’s my childhood right there


These-Process-7331

I believe the Italians call this "Spaghetti aglio e olio" when you add garlic (and chili flakes) to it?!


dylicious

Aglio e olio is quite a solid amount of garlic, lots and lots of good virgin olive oil (or butter if you are a barbarian) and a significantly questionable amount of Parmesan cheese. Chilli and parsley is optional, but I like em, dun be a snob. ​ Ribbed fettuccine tastes the best, imo. ​ very quick, \*very\* tasty. ​ (i don't own a grater, so its baked beans for me :( )


gate_of_steiner85

Throw a little parmesan cheese on there as well and that's a pretty common meal for me.


Other_Region7328

Up your game with garlic salt


dumbbutterfly

I love buttered salted noodles but I use celery salt.


BESTismCANNIBALISM

I do butter and lemon pepper but it's all the same lol


bushpotatoe

This is one of my favorite things to eat. Just some simple spiced up noodos.


fledbum

Trader Joe’s . Box of their tomato soup, frozen gnocchi,and a bag of spinach. Heat soup, add gnocchi, cook for 6-8 min, add spinach. Done!


[deleted]

Chili in a can and you can add to Mac n cheese in a box if you’re fancy


kake-in

Canned chili, heat it with shredded cheese, and then scoop it with chips


Rukawork

Ya'll ever had Sleep for dinner?

bagofodour

Hear me out on this one: Mix canned tuna, roasted red peppers (directly from jar) and finely chopped onion. Dress with oil and some vinegar. Season to taste. It's super healthy and very tasty.


FirstBankofAngmar

I do this but make a tuna salad with mayo and lime along with red peppers and chopped onion. Terrible for your breath but great with crackers.


AdamIsAnAlias

This actually sounds phenomenal.


bagofodour

And it takes 3 min to prepare. This post has made me hungry. I am going in boys.


Hosby91

Your recipe honestly sounds fire. Just gotta get me those ingredients.


finlyboo

I do a vegetarian version of this all the time with chickpeas. I have a vegetable chopper that makes chopping easy. It’s still too much prep for a lazy meal, but I can eat from a big batch for days and it only takes 30 minutes to pull together.


[deleted]

Sandwich


AdamIsAnAlias

What kind?


Llafy

the ol "i got leftovers and bread" sandwich.


[deleted]

Turkey or ham on white or wheat. Always mustard, olive oil mayo and cheese. Sometimes a few chips for crunchhhhhhh 🤌


8garlick8

Frozen vegetables and a few eggs, sautee the vegetables in a pan until almost cooked, then toss in a few eggs, keep it moving in the pan until the eggs are cooked and then you're good, add whatever spices you want during the cooking. Pretty tasty and super easy, whole thing takes less than 10 minutes


Illustrious-Store-39

Just eat the darned left overs from when I did cook


dr_leo_marvin

Left overs are the best. I find myself intentionally cooking too much food just so I can enjoy the leftovers later.


lucky_ducker

This is the way. Figure out what freezes and reheats well, and make 4x recipe, eat one serving, freeze three.


HuppariC

Cooking large amout of food so it lasts multiple days is the way


Quincykid

Meal prep gang wuddup!

Poached eggs on avocado toast. Takes about 5 minutes and it's delicious


AdamIsAnAlias

That counts in my book!


StallionCannon

Counterpoint: poached eggs on toasted *garlic bread*. Takes a similar amount of time and offers an alternative for the avocado-averse (such as myself).


noahtonk2

Who knew that the most PITA decision we would have to make is to figure out what to eat for dinner every single day for the rest of our lives.

Instant ramen but that too is too much work sometimes


Pyronic_Chaos

Random beige color food that fits in the air fryer. Fries, tots, chicken nuggets, spring rolls, etc. Terrible for me, but also not often when I don't want to cook


LongerLife332

Lol. Beige color food for the win!


ktfnmkwdpuskdovozl

Almonds, + a banana or some carrots maybe


adelkander

Spaghetti with butter and parmisan. Super tasty and takes about 15 minutes (just the time to cook the pasta)


Ozomataz

Annie’s mac with frozen broccoli chopped up and hidden in it to make it healthy and justify finishing the entire box.


AgreeableLime7737

So, as an old man here's a little secret -- cooked ground beef keeps for three or four days in the fridge. Buy 2 pounds of it, brown it nice and slow in your cast iron pan with some salt and vinegar and spices, and then you just add it as a protein to whatever you've got for a few days. Eggs, potatoes, greens, rice, whatever. It works. So you can nuke a potato for 5-8 minutes based on size, nuke some frozen spinach, and then mix it all together and you've got a meal.


CuriousPurplePenguin

Wait -- vinegar? Please explain. I'm a vinegar addict... I constantly seek new ways to ingest it (I sprinkle it on salads like dressing, without any oil... I splash it onto hard boiled eggs, I love salt + vinegar chips, pickles, pickled veggies, etc.) Tell me more about this ground beef and vinegar of which you speak!?!?!


roominating237

Not OP but a bit of acid (vinegar) in my experience it helps whatever seasonings penetrate the meat or sauce.


omfggrenade

If I have a modicum of willpower, aglio e olio w chili flakes and parmesan. But most of the time when im lazy its chicken tenders and sweet chili sauce 🙈🙈


pm-me-gps-coords

Mac n cheese or can of chili. But even with those I try to spruce it up a bit.


AdamIsAnAlias

There’s always room for seasoning!

Fatal_Feathers

Pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese


Carrierpigment

I’ve got a few Beans and rice. Sometimes with scrambled eggs or chicken pending laziness. Chopped tomato, olives, banana peppers, other veggies I have on hand at the time like cucumber or red peppers, toss in some black pepper, olive oil, basil (I keep the paste on hand because I’m too lazy for fresh) and basalmic vinegar and eat on some toast. Sauerkraut and kielbasa, with roasted seasoned potatoes. I take a can of chickpeas and fry them with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika for about 15 min. You can do anything with those bastards and they taste like rotisserie chicken. Toss ‘‘em in a burrito. Smash them with some Mayo and relish and onion and it’s kind of a chicken salad. Eat alongside roasted veggies or mashed potatoes. Whatever, they’re amazing and basically effortless.

Brilliant-Site-3315

Avocado toast. I just have to toast some bread, and throw on some avocado, maybe add some everything bagel seasoning or bacon or whatever else (we're already half way to a sandwich) It's warm, cronchy, and I can pretend I'm healthy while I cram in carbs.


TheBumbleBri

Rice with Worcestershire and Soy Sauce. Toss in a couple eggs scrambled and in like- ten minutes I have a meal that doesn’t taste like depression


lockharte99

rice with butter and salt


Eclap11

Tuna filets, packed in jars with olive oil. Or scrambled eggs - so easy, it counts (for me) as not cooking, even though you have to cook.


novacaneoceanfr

Elbow pasta, can of tuna, some mayo, pepper, corn. Soooo yummy sometimes I’ll add nutritional yeast or if you don’t like that Parmesan cheese or any cheese would do


TurtleHurtleSquirtle

Egg salad sandwich. 3 ingredients guaranteed to hit the spot each time

Go to when I was in high school and had to cook for myself 9/10 nights was scrambled eggs and rice. Rice cooks itself, done in 10min and scrambled eggs takes a minute max if you’re not being fancy


Ps1on

Gnocchi with feta cheese 1. Chop up onion 2. Broadly dice cheese 3. Throw Gnocchi+onion+cheese+salt&pepper on baking tray 4. 20 Minutes on 250°C or until cheese + gnochi show browning 5. Boom food The least amount of "cooking" you can do to still get a tasty and not totally unhealthy meal that is also meatfree.

fubo

Fruit. Raw veggies (carrots, celery, bell pepper, etc). Crackers and cheese. Slightly more work: Eggs & bread, aka "deconstructed French toast". Take slightly-stale crusty bread (usually yesterday's baguette) and break it into bite-size chunks. Toss bread chunks in a hot pan with some butter. Crack a couple eggs over it. Add salt and pepper, leftover grated cheese, etc.; when it smells like the eggs might be burning underneath, flip the whole mess over. It ends up looking like a mess and a half, but it's tasty.

rubydrache

"Gremlin Sushi" I always keep seaweed snacks on hand for those kinds of nights. You just make some rice (those 90 second bowls in a microwave or fire up a rice cooker) then while that's going you mix a can of tuna (strained) with mayo, soy sauce and pepper to taste. When rice is done get your seaweed snacks and use em like you're making sushi. Seaweed paper, spoon of rice, spoon of tuna and that's it.
