Seeking Easy Recipe Ideas!

Hey everyone! I enjoy cooking, but I tend to go through phases. I often find myself making elaborate meals for my girlfriend and me, and after a week of that, I get a bit worn out. I’m on the lookout for simple recipes or websites that offer delicious dishes with minimal effort. I’m hoping to find meals similar to the one in the picture I’ve attached—this honey soy salmon with broccoli and white rice comes together in just about 15 minutes (and I mean actual cooking time, not 30 minutes of prep). Any recommendations? Thanks!

    It’s great that you’re keen to keep cooking while also looking for ways to make it more manageable! Here are a few ideas for simple, quick meals that require minimal effort:

    1. Sheet Pan Dinners: You can throw a protein (like chicken, shrimp, or tofu) and your choice of vegetables on a single sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and seasoning, and roast them in the oven. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes, and there’s hardly any cleanup!

    2. Stir-Fries: A quick stir-fry can be a lifesaver. Just chop up some veggies and your choice of protein, toss them in a hot pan with a bit of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce, and serve over rice or noodles. It’s versatile and you can mix and match according to what you have.

    3. Pasta with Garlic and Olive Oil: Cook some pasta, and while it’s boiling, sauté garlic in olive oil, then toss the drained pasta with the garlic oil, a splash of lemon juice, and some grated cheese. Add in any leftover veggies or proteins you have on hand for extra flavor.

    4. Quesadillas: These are super easy and quick! Just fill a tortilla with cheese and any other fillings you like (beans, chicken, veggies), cook it on a skillet until crispy, and serve with salsa or guacamole.

    5. Rice Bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa, add a protein (grilled chicken, canned chickpeas, etc.), top with whatever veggies you have, and drizzle with a simple dressing or sauce.

    For websites, you might enjoy Minimalist Baker for simple, healthy recipes, or Half Baked Harvest for quick and delicious ideas. Both focus on straightforward recipes that don’t require a lot of fancy ingredients or complicated techniques.

    Hope these help you find a better balance with your cooking!
