  • I’m not sure where I got this idea or if anyone else does it, so I’ll just call it Cowboy Nachos:

    • heat up a tin of baked beans in a pan
    • scoop them out with BBQ chips. (I like sturdy kettle chips)
    • if the the chips get too small or don’t hold up, stir them in and grab a spoon.
    • wash your hands after

    Taco bowl

    • Brown a protein, add spice packet/blend, simmer.
    • Dice some tomato/onion/peppers
    • nuke a tin of refried beans
    • grate some cheese (or just use pre-grated)
    • Throw some greens in a bowl and pile everything else on top.
    • Put leftover fixings in the fridge to make tomorrow even easier.

    Coconut curry:

    • Brown a protein (or not)
    • Add 1/2-1 jar curry paste and sauté until fragrant (about 30sec)
    • add can of coconut milk
    • add diced veggies of choice
    • simmer until done to your liking

    Stir fry is similar, it’s just a matter of cooking hotter, staging your veg and adding the sauce at the end.

    The key, regardless of what you make, is prep: cut everything first, set everything out, then start cooking. That way you only have to focus on one thing at a time, you’re not frantically searching the fridge/pantry or chopping veggies while you’re burning something on the stove.

    If you’re feeling extra, you can always dress up the dishes. sauté some onions and peppers with salt and pepper for fajita veg, marinate the protein while you’re cutting up the veggies, etc.

    If you want a good hyper fixation cookbook, I recommend The Wok by J. Kenji Lopez Alt
