My kids love this and it is so fast plus we always have all the ingredients.

We also sometimes take frozen tilapia, quick thaw it in water, sprinkle with a salt mix and then saute with olive oil and lime juice (you don't even need to use fresh lime juice although I usually have a lime on hand). I saw a Whole Foods demo of this once and it really is genius.

Actual meal - salmon filets in oven (cook from frozen if forget to thaw, but they thaw pretty quick in water), microwave Trader Joe’s rice (brown rice for even less guilt I guess, but we like jasmine), veggies in a microwave steam pack


Laughing at this. We do this exact thing more times than we'd admit in public. Nice squeeze of lemon makes it pop. Feels healthy.

Really fast? Bean quesadillas in less than 10 minutes. I mush the beans onto the tortilla and each one uses almost a third a can of beans. I fry in iolive oils which is tastier and gives healthy oils then too with chopped tomato and prepared guac.

It is rare I don’t have all of these ingredients around the house (and you can sub peppers for tomatoes and change the cheeses) - the kids love them

Thanks for the ideas! Will definitely use some other nights.


And to be clear this was a 7 minute meal. Cauliflower bites in the air fryer for 6 minutes, served over the rice which is microwaved at 90 seconds. Then just a salad tossed on the side.

I chop up the meat, sprinkle it with some badia fajita seasoning, and make up a bunch of quesadillas in under 30 mins.

Kids love them, I love them, and the cleanup is minimal too.

Serve with a box of seasoned cous cous from the box-y rice aisle (takes 10 minutes) and at the end stir in a bunch of frozen peas. Voila!



Duuuuuuuuuuuude.

Nice bread (we always have frozen baguette or rolls or sourdough), cheeses, olives, sliced up tomatoes, cucumbers peppers.

Sausage, oven fries, salad.

Tomato soup (onions, garlic, couple of cans of San Marzano tomatoes).
