Vegetable soup cooked for a few days before, stir fry, or vegetable stew, or self cooked meals from the freezer heated, eaten with sauerkraut, or quince compote (yummy!), cake baked for a few days before in almond milk, with a bit of cream. I don’t know why I have to eat three courses for dinner but I do. Usually less than 20 min and it’s ready - so it is good idea to cook at home, it doesn’t take long at all. Only my dinners are long.

Wok, sliced chicken or beef stir fried with vegetables.

Order ahead, then tell them you’ll be there in 15 minutes!

scrambled eggs

Tuna and cheese toasties, are to die for, takes 10 minutes

My family always put their hands up for toasted sandwiches when I don't feel like cooking. There is always something in my fridge or cupboard to make sandwiches and all I have to do is bring out the sandwhich press and dinner is served in no time.

Fish and chips, Omelet, Scrambled eggs, Bacon and eggs, Sausage and vegetables, Chops and vegetables, Steak and vegetables. The choice is very wide

I made a fried rice last night in about 10 mins. You can put anything in it that you have...... cubed ham, chopped bacon, egg, shredded chicken, etc along with spring onion, capsicum, diced carrot (fresh as I don't do frozen veges), corn, peas, etc. I used this recipe - https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/fried-rice-recipe/#tasty-recipes-62154 - for the basics.

Pasta

Boiled rice, with hot sauce.

Egg on toast.

Viva Italia! Spaghetti….throw in some washed Spinach, even if it says it’s washed it has been but then they spray it, so ….washed spinach, into the sauce and you will be the next Italian Popeye !

Shrimp pasta with garlic butter sauce, Tacos, hamburgers, chicken breast with or without pasta sauce.

Prawn cocktails - fresh prawns in a bowl and pour tartare or cocktail sauce from jar over it. Add lemon juice from a bottle and season to taste.

The 3 minute egg (Who the heck needs 20 minutes???)

baked beans ham flavored un toast with butter yummie

For those on a limited budget, bangers and spuds with onion gravy.

Food

Egg omelette

Pillsbury biscuit dough, and you can do just about anything in 20 min. Pasta Alfredo with chicken also happens under 20. Awesome.

Take out -lol

Salsa containing corn, tomato, and cucumber with rice and any left over meat like chicken, lamb or beef fried with onion and herbs. Great for the waist line too, plus really quick and easy and great in summer on the hot nights. We do the rice in the rice cooker, salsa can be made before hand. It's too easy and very tasty.

Baked Chicken Spaghetti- use cooked rotisserie chicken from market Very easy and quick

Maybe longer then 20 minute but 20 minute prep work in the morning or night before any vegetable and meat in slow cooker with a jar of your sauce and can coconut cream on slow all day then serve. Any leftover put on toast next day with fried egg on top

egg and bacon pie done in no time

Cup a soup Boiled eggs Put eggs in kettle first and make soup with water after.

Steak eggs and a potato would do me

Toasted sandwiches are good. I understand that it might be difficult if you have a large family but if you have a sandwich press or a larger size toasted sandwich maker then it shouldn't be a problem. I make these myself for dinner sometimes as I don't have money for takeaways or expensive ready to heat frozen meals. Buy cheese slices or grated cheese if you don't want to have to use block cheese and slice or grated it yourself. Thanks for reading!

Steamed veg, salmon any variation - 5 mins done.

Marinate and grill chicken in George Forman and make a colourful nutrient rich salad.

whip up stock and polenta, let rest, toss left over beams mushrooms onions and sliced meat in fry pan - add together use any sauce to mix, I like sya sauce. Very tasty left overs and because of potato shortage the polenta is nice change. there is usually left over pile ta to fry for next nights starch. So fast so tasty

Scrambled eggs!

Frozen meals like spaghetti bolognese quick and easy tastes greatEdited 24-Aug-23 10:04am

meat pie and chips nice and healthy.😁

fried fritz and tomato soup,[ home-brand ]takes 5 mins , you get 2 bowls per can if you feed more use more cans, is a campfire thing but we eat at home Kids love it as do I feed up to 6 one stick of fritz and 3 cans under 10 dollars

1 pack ea Bird's Eye Steamfresh Vegetables, one green, one mixed, cup of 40sec Brown Rice, can of Tuna or Sardines, the hot/cold combo is great. Also it is Healthy, almost No Fat.

A salad or make a vegetable bake.

Takeaways

To make a meal quick, try frozen mashed potatoes. About 5 minutes in the microwave and it's done. This is a good way for people on their own or for a couple. it is cheaper than having to throw out left over (moldy or growing) potatoes.

simple morning recipe 1 tbsp of apple cider vinager 8 oz glass of water ginger finely sliced and garlic 1 clove finely sliced mix it all together. 5 minutes

Boiled egg, about 3-4mins depending on how runny you want the yolk. Porridge, about 2mins in the microwave. Burger King / KFC / McDonald's / etc., wait time depends on how busy they are. Packet of crisps or chocolate bar, about 2secs to open the packet (a bit longer if it's one of those that is so tough you need to go and get the scissors). The list of quick "recipes" is near-endless. 😉Edited 24-Aug-23 08:24am

It's as easy as warming up a pie OR make sure you have enough good home cooked meals in the freezer that just need heating up, some even taste better reheated.

10 min stovetop Mac n cheese - recipe from Brian Lagerstrom on YouTube. This is my fave Mac n cheese recipe and it's quick and easy but also a little lighter than the usual Mac n cheese because it doesn't need bechamel sauce - it's all in the same pot.

you'al making me hungry

Cheese and lecture and tomatoes fresh of the garden . on the hot bread, with butter melt on it -- no more eating on the day

pasta and sauce, with a side salad.

Any variety of carbonara you like! Great way to use up a couple of rashers of bacon or one sausage (chop the sausage up small & sauté - delicious) I always use angel hair spaghetti which cooks really quickly.

4 packets of 2 Minute noodles (I use Suimin cup noodles) and add to it 3-4 cups of diced/chopped up veggies of your choice and 2-3 cups of cooked/browned off protein (beef/pork/chicken mince, diced meat- steak or chicken breast, prawns, ham/bacon, scrambled egg/egg omelette). Once meat is all cooked, add it back to the same wok, then add cooked & drained noodles (keeping flavoured broth/liquid aside) and then add vegetables and egg (if used) and combine well. Add some of the broth back in and mix well. Serves 6-8 people with not many left overs.

in addition to my previous comment of fish crisp apparently you can fry the fish til it gets smaller like a chocolate bar which dissolves the fish bone or opposite deep fry with baking powder and fish crisp batter and the fish portions expand about 4 times in size but maybe have bones since covid i have been doing a lot of cooking and in my area here fish are plentiful but i am still experimenting fish crisp comes in different flavours at Canadian tire maybe walmart

Twenty minutes? That's 10cycles of my microwave. Anything needing more than two minutes of attention is called "Going Out for Dinner ". Nothing should take longer to cook than it does to eat.

2 minute noodles with a cup-a-soup mixed in, might add some smoked salmon or smoked trout.

Tuna melts you will need a packet of english muffins, 1 can of tuna, mayo and cheese slices, 2-4 minutes in the oven until the cheese has melted. Vegetable soup Spaghetti bolognaise you cook a big batch and freeze them into portions ready to freeze. Have you seen the 4 Ingredients cookbook series they have some fantastic meals in there.

You could check out my cookbook The Other Jamie

NOODLES AND MUSHROOM SOUP works for me

Really inauthentic cheap Asian noodle thing! Mince meat (beef, pork or chicken) $2 bag of pre shredded coleslaw veges, Asian seasoning (I use soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, curry powder, garlic and ginger) and rice noodles.No chopping meat or veges! Stir fry it up (sometimes I add a beaten egg after the meat has browned so it sticks to the noodles better) season it, add the noodles. Cook it thru and it’s done. Very little clean up too.

Instant noodles with egg and canned corn kernels. If you have leftover roast chicken, that'll be even better.

Stirfy! Healthy and tasty. Chicken or beef and ginger. While the rice is steaming ( or you could use a microwave pack) cut up up your veg and meat toss it all in a hot fry pan or wok ,,add the soy sc ,sweet chilli sc and ginger , Done!
