I need inspiration.

mine is a cheeseburger salad. Shredded lettuce, pickled red onions (homemade so they’re exactly how I like them), a bit of cheddar cheese, sauces of your choice and some fried beef mince. If I’m feeling gluttonous I’ll add some bacon too. It feels so decadent but takes ten minutes to make!

Decent quality chilli con carne (that comes without rice as it's much better value) bulked up with chopped pepper and frozen sweetcorn, - 'authentic curries and world food' or 'cook food' single portions will easily feed 2 adults.
Mashed avocado
Chopped up tomorrow
Nachos with grated cheese on (done in microwave)
Boiled rice
Sour cream.
Takes the time it takes for the rice to cook to prepare the whole meal.

Don't nachos go soggy in mic?

OK I’m ashamed. Turns out you’re all way less lazy than me. If I’m alone and want something relatively healthy I’ll eat a tin of tuna. Or a drained can of chickpeas with salt and pepper on. Occasionally I might have a couple of cherry toms with it. 😂

Exactly. Tin of lentils vaguely drained with vinegar is my go to. Straight from tin.

No, it's not you! Loads of these meals aren't lazy at all, they're proper cooking albeit relatively simple. People just aren't admitting when they stand over the sink eating a rotisserie chicken out of the bag with their hands.

I really want to eat a rotisserie chicken out of the bag with my hands now!!

Me too. And then use a slice of cotton wool read to mop up the juice.

A plate divided into sections with sardines, chickpeas (the packet ones), Greek yoghurt, tomatoes mixed with olive oil and chilli (just mixed in a bowl for few seconds, no cooking).
Easy, cheap, very quick and pretty healthy.

Fry some vegan roast chicken pieces, have with toasted Greek flatbread and shop-bought baba ganoush (or other shop-bought aubergine dip). Add olives and artichoke hearts if I have time. Heaven.
In a time/energy crunch, beans on toast; peanut butter on toast; mashed avocado on toast with seeds; grilled cheese sandwich; snack plate of rice crackers, lentil chips, olives, artichoke hearts, nuts.

Salmon fillets, air fried and frozen veg in microwave. 12 minutes and it's on the table.

I do air fried salmon and have recently discovered that if you cook it from frozen on the hottest temp it's much crispier.

A lot of these “easy” suggestions are my normal cooking! Easy and healthy for me and my go
to if it’s just me (hardly ever) is omelette with peppers/onions/toms

I’ve just discovered the joy of chucking things in the rice cooker (small meat pieces, fish, prawns, veg, with soy sauce and whatever condiments are at hand, along with rice, of course. Cook the lot together, when nearly ready, crack an egg on top, put the lid back on, and let it all finish steaming. It’s like fried rice, but healthier and so easy.

Diced chicken breast marinated in Nandos sauce thrown in the air fryer then in a pitta with lots of salad and corn on the cob.
