Savory oats. Put oats, milk, butter and whatever you fancy in a pan. Done.

Canned tuna mixed with rice, and omelette with cheese

Throw rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, onion, potato, chorizo, frozen peas, some spices and water into a rice cooker. Hit go, take 40 min nap, eat.

Cooking?!

When I'm specifically being too lazy to?

I don't even cook for myself on the good days.

Chicken chickpea curry.

Canned chickpeas, whatever chicken you have on hand, canned diced tomatoes, curry powder, onion, coconut milk, lemon juice. Served over rice.

A bowl of hot instant ramen with a poached egg is my go-to. Very simple, takes at most 10 minutes, and tastes really good too.

I boil half a cup of rice, add 3tbsp of peanut butter and about 100ml sweet chili sauce, and I mix it evenly. Bish bash bosh.

Probably something from The Sad Bastard Cookbook. It's a free book with lots of easy meals and good advice.

Caprese salad

Buy a tomato. Slice it. Buy presliced mozarella Alternate tomato and mozarella on a plate. Put basil on top. Drizzle either balsamic vinagrette or salt and olive oil.

Delicous and super easy.

Also sometimes I make a quick melt on the waffle press, season with garlic powder and shredded parmeson, and dip in salsa. Fantastic and super easy.

• boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Taco seasoning
• Fajita seasoning
• Salsa

Dump everything into crockpot, come back after work and enjoy shredded chicken tacos / nachos / burritos.

I have a small rice cooker perfect for 1-2 portions. Aldi sells asian-style pan-fry veggie mixes including spices and all in large bags, frozen. They also sell veggie balls for frying, frozen.

Between those three + some spices + soy sauce, I can always create something nice with just a small pan, plus with the rice cooker timing is unimportant. Takes about 10 minutes max, most of which is standing next to the pan waiting for something to fry. Stacks nicely in a bowl, looks fancy, takes 0 effort, and I can customize the taste with the array of spices I always keep at home nowadays.

1. Cook pasta: spaghettini, spaghetti, linguine, whatever
2. Strain when cooked, set aside
3. add heaping tablespoon olive oil+garlic to pot, heat for a minute
4. Add the pasta, salt and pepper, stir
5. serve

*Swap some butter for oil if preferred

Bean and Cheese nachos Bonus if you have some sort of leftover chicken or other grilled meat to add.

Cook refried beans. Dab a thin coat of beans with a spoon on a chip and place on greased baking sheet. Add meat if you have it. Cover with shredded cheese. Bake on 350 for 5-6 minutes.

I like to serve with salsa and pickled jalapeños if I have them, which I usually do just for this dish.

Don't have any, too lazy...

Rice cooker, after it's halfway, throw in an egg or two, leftover meat, can of beans, soup, or chili, whatever's available. It's nourishing and always tastes good.

My family's spaghetti and meat sauce recipe. 5 ingredients:

Water, salt, pasta;
ground beef, tomato sauce (from a jar if fancy, but canned is great)

1. Boil and salt the water. Add the pasta. Boil until as soft as you want. While that's going
2. Cook the meat, breaking into little chunks. Then drain the fat. Then add the sauce and some salt and mix it. Stop it some time after it's boiling

Serve together.

(Of course there are details like how much of stuff, but that's the jist of it)

Kraft Mac and cheese with sausage cut up in it.

Nutella on toast. Ruin your life and food like me

While you cook up some boxed mac and cheese on the stove, cut up some broccoli and onions or whatever appropriate veggies you have lying around, and open a can of tuna (any kind of cooked protein is fine, so fry and shred some chicken breast or ground beef if you're feeling ambitious.) When that's done, mix it together in a casserole dish, throw some cheese on top and chuck it in the oven until it turns a bit brown.

Carbonara.

Cook some chopped up bacon until crispy. Boil some pasta until cooked. Dump half cup of pasta water into bacon, mix. Mix 3 eggs with a half cup of parmesan, drip in a few tablespoons of pasta water while mixing. Turn off stove, dump pasta into bacon, mix for a few minutes, dump egg and parmesan in, mix vigorously. Eat with a big chunk of crusty bread. Should take 20 minutes from turning on the stove to eating.

Boil pasta. Drain. Add whole can of canned tomatoes to pot (fire roasted or Italian seasoning versions optional)

1. Cook some pasta. Doesn't matter what kind.
2. Add cream, if no cream is available add milk and condense longer.
3. Add powdered soup base
4. Enjoy salty, carbs goodness. (Doesn't taste as good if eaten often) If I am felling healthy i'll also eat a raw fruit or vegetable while the pasta is cooking.
