I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

I like to take those boxes of breakfast cereal they sell and I like to whip them up in a big bowl with some milk. I call it cereal with milk.
But what if you aren’t feeling like soup?
Fake pizza: Make toast. Drizzle toast with a little bit of olive oil. Smear tomato paste on toast. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Top with a slice of provolone.
You just described one of the famous Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate (maybe minus the cheese)
Damn, OP. Here you thought you were making shitty white trash pizza and all along you were making Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate!
It’s definitely popular here in Barcelona pan con tomate is a regular dish across Spain. It’s especially hilarious when you get the little condiment container full of tomato & garlic and mini-olive oil bottle on renfe.
Or be me as a kid
White bread Put ketchup on bread Put Kraft single on top Put in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edge of the bread crisps Eat it over the sink in order to not kill your mother by disrespecting the plates with that garbage Realize you’re still hungry and make 3 more
That was my teenage go to, except I used Ragu PizzaQuick because I was trashy.
or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread
You can’t just disrespect Germany like that…
Cook some rice in a rice cooker, top it with a runny sunny-side up egg, add some high quality soy sauce and a bit of butter. Sliced green onions if I’m feeling less lazy.
Egg and rice is the easy comfort food my husband learned from his grandmother. It’s our too lazy to cook or shop dinner.
Furikake to take it to the next level!
Looks like super easy and great, love the idea :)
A real cheat code here is when you truly can’t find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow’s dinner.
Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow
Crack open a tin of beans, smash them a bit with a fork. Salt, pepper, vinegar, and whatever seasoning blend is within reach. Put it on top of whatever carb I have (toast, tortilla, crackers) is my go-to.
If I don’t have a tin of beans, I microwave some frozen peas to smash up.
Hummus also fits this niche but that’s not something I keep on hand in the pantry, unlike beans.
My favourite no-cook meal is a slab of semi-firm tofu served cold on a bed of spinach, pour over some soy sauce, spring onion and furikake. But that requires fresh ingredients I don’t always have on hand.
Instant noodles, with a handful of frozen corn, and a Nori sheet from the pantry ripped up in it. Tofu (or egg) if you can be bothered.
I’m on the hunt for a vegetarian alternative to a umami packed can of smoked Tuna. I miss smoked Tuna. (I’m allergic to nightshades and haven’t found a allergy free fake fish on the market)
Another great lazy meal is hummus. process together a drained + rinsed can of chickpeas, a couple tablespoons of tahini, the juice of half a lemon, salt + spices, and however much water it takes to get the texture you like. Smear it on a plate, maybe add a puddle of olive oil with some herbs sprinkled over, and wipe it up with pita.

Put in large pot bring to boil simmer 35+/- min stir it you want
Feeds 6-8 people & nice w rice
… Thats just avg dal, hows that lazy?
It’s a one pot meal with almost no steps - just dump the ingredients in and cook.
Make rice, throw minced meat in, done. It looks like dog food but it’s pretty good.
Omelette. Ham and Cheese. Low carb and tasty.
I usually go with over medium eggs on toast.
Not low carb, but still tasty.
Bake some frozen chicken nuggets, toss in buffalo sauce, cut up some iceberg lettuce and throw it all in a soft tortilla with ranch.
I just go to bed when I am too lazy to cook!
I am severely malnutrition 😎😎😎
I wrote this when I had just woke up, this is a lot less funny than I remember
Did you have breakfast yet?
Yes. (Though this is the exception, not the rule)
Whenever I make soup, I always make a lot. The extra soup goes into quart bags and goes in the freezer. So I have a soup library.
Rip open a bag of soup, toss it in a pan on medium low. Make some popcorn in the air popper.
Soup and popcorn with about a minute of work. The hardest part is picking out which soup I want.
Tin of (Aldi) chicken curry, add some frozen peas and spinach and fresh chopped (with a scissors) chillies. Better - in my opinion - than some take away and all chain pubs’ offerings. Five minutes maximum from cupboard and freezer to my mouth.
Cooking?!
When I’m specifically being too lazy to?
I don’t even cook for myself on the good days.
spaghetti ala bolognese is my lazy to cook recipe or chicken paprikás (or rather it’s less sour creamy version which is called pörkölt). if I make it from chicken, it’s done pretty quickly
or, chili con carne. it’s also in the super easy and quick category
bolognese a lazy recipe? takes me like 3 hours sheesh
it is, at max 35-45 mins.
obviously I don’t make it authentic so calling it actually bolognese is a bit further stretch I allowed myself than should have 😅
I use dry noodles from the store, prechopped meat, boxed/canned tomato sauce, dried spices… only thing that needs actual prep work is some onions.
Savory oats. Put oats, milk, butter and whatever you fancy in a pan. Done.
